Other AZ members have had issues with LED strips (and they are a passing fad). I would not recommend fitting these to your $40k car.

But my wired up to my parking light and brake light since my LED panel have 3 wires. You can add a switch and wire it all the way up front to your dash. I was meaning to do that but got lazy. Eventually I will rework on my rear reflector panel.

How did you get the rear reflector lens to light up. That looks cool.

Took out the reflector from the bumper. Use a dremel to cut open. Then I have some LED panel and then glue everything back. I tap the wire from the taillamp.

If you are talking about the round cap between the headlamp and foglight on the passenger side, thats a tow hook placement.
