Yup. I literally removed the old connector. But if it gives you peace of mind, you can use quick splices just to tap power from the factory connector. That way you can go back to stock in about two minutes if need-be.

You need to come up with one that throws out tackstrips when cops are behind you from the plate area

. I could've used that 2 weeks ago

Get out and look next time it's dark. My factory light lights the ground already, just with shitty yellow light. I plan to do this, gotta show off the new plate, HEYOFCR.

I could look, but my order will show a different one. I had a HUGE one that I used for something else, and then cut it shorter.

www.superbrightleds.com

Click, "LED Strips, blah blah" Then on that page of flexible LED strips and stuff, it's the first one. It should be 12".
