I want to get these to install in my trunk, so that when the trunk opens they go on and when the trunk closes it goes off. Is this possible to do? What about if I get more than one strip?

Detailed instructions would be GREATLY appreciated, as I am more mechanical than electrical, if you know what I mean.

You have a trunk light right ? Thats where your going to get your power from.How you do your wire placement is up to you and how stealth you want it. Very easy mod

Those are definitly slick for what he's wanting to do.I still do all my connects by hacking into wires and use butt connectors.I will be using those in the future I'm sure.

How exactly does this work?
I have an IQ of a 4 year old when it comes to electrical stuff.

Those are just wire taps so that you don't have to splice any wires. Me, I soldered the ends to my trunk bulb and use a 24" led bar as my trunk light

Yea..... That's why I went with pictures instead of trying to explain things.. Obviously the pics didn't help much either

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I picked them up today, a different brand though.....Can I tap more than one led strip into the existing wire in the trunk?

All depends on how much current draw.Wires are rated to except only so much current to pass,also you might have to up the fuse size.for the trunk light. If I were going to do one or more I would totally delete the factory bulb to allow the added draw without adding more work or problems.
