I tapped into the 12v line that used to power the outside TV (I removed it) in order to install a red LED light strip under the top cabinets in the clamshell and a warm white LED strip inside the trailer where the cabinets meet the roof. The indirect lighting has been a huge improvement.

    Thinking we may do something similar.  Any links to products you used?

    Any cuttable 12v LED strips would work. Here's what I used:
    Red LED strip: https://amzn.to/2YQurRM
    Warm White LED strip: https://amzn.to/3DEXGFM (I actually had leftover strip from an earlier project at home)

    I suppose that you could use RGB strips, but I stuck with single-color strips as they're easier to connect.

    On/off switch: https://amzn.to/2YJIXuH
    Connectors & wire: https://amzn.to/2YJIXuH

    Silicone channel (used to cover warm white strip inside): https://amzn.to/3AyEmIl

    I'm not quite satisfied with the on/off switch inside, so I'm going to try this:

    So smart to use red outside @Marceline. Easy on the night vision.

    Yes, that's the idea.
