How to Add LED Strip Lights to Work Van 

Thanks for showing every step. Great video.

Thx now the kids in the back of my van can have fun😁

Looks good, dude. Now I have an idea 💡 of how to light mine up ! Thanks 👍

Thanks for sharing, much appreciated! Well done and thanks to your wifey-cameragirl as well !! :))

Well done. I’m doing the same but running my tape long ways with white and blue leds.

Very good stuff 👍.

Great video, gonna try something like this in my 2022 Ford Transit Connect 😎🛠️😎🛠️😎

Thank you for this video. I enjoyed it very much 👍🏼

Cheers mate for the video.

Nice! Thanks for this!

Looks badass

Nice work!

Good idea I'm going to do the same my interior lights are missing so I'm going to add the LEDs 👍🏾👍🏾

Good video

Thanks for the vid, Robert. I noticed the original light is behind the stuff I have stacked on my racks, so it is pretty ineffective. I look forward to tackling this soon!

Thanks Robert!

thanks now the theifs that steal my tools can see what they are doing

Thanks

Great video! 👍🏽

Nice try always work from the dead end back to the live connection you done it live so every connection was done live under load just a tip in case you had a short in a wire or something that could fry the wiring in the van happened to my bud lights look brilliant & bright 👍

Nice work. I saw the cable spools in your van what type of work do you do? Also, do you have a switch for the lights or is it just strictly when the doors open that they come on?

Heatshrink tubing placed over LED tape ends and wiring would have created a finished job, and insulated the connections

Thx

Now, how long does the battery last at 24W power usage?

Hi I wired the same led lights but wont I shut my doors the leds just go dim and not turn off . Any ideas?

@Robert Reyes Nice video :) One question for you. When I connect an LED tape to your video and when I close the trunk, the tape still lights up like a spot light. Any solution?

Hey Robert, this is exactly what I wanna do with my econoline. Is there any issues with splicing into the existing cab light as far as power goes? Like the fuse or the wiring being able to handle the draw?

Hi, I want to do the same for my van.. will it burn the fuses or fry the main board once I start the engine ?

Where are you located

Bro, you have to grease that squeaky door of yours loll

How do I stop the timer from shutting the lights off after a few minutes?

Bought some led lights amd it only does flickering

Are they bright enough at night? I'm looking for something like this, but the strips they've got in the nearby shops are all pretty weak.

what happens if you have the engine running (which bumps the circuit voltage up upto 14.4 V) and open the doors (i.e. turn the lighting on) ??? Do the led strips get toasted or do they take it no problem?

Did the heat melt away the adhesive?

how long did the adhesive last on those strips? did they fall of yet?

Can I skip the meter part? How likely is it that the light isnt getting 12V?

any issues with lights eventually falling down

Can u do this with color changing leds

Not much of a craftsman but got it done

but no fuse you need to fuse it

man ure so rough with everything lol.

toss em around. there's gotta be an easier way.

12 v dc

so no one is going to comment how he burn the plastic on hes van 🤣

Unless I missed it, the original cargo light is only operable by Fords ‘Better Ideas’ Body Control Module and we are at the whim of their idiotic timing program. I have the 2017 version and I have had the battery die on me numerous times because, like any other service vehicle, we are always in and out all the time. Fords stupid logic is ALL the perimeter lights come on at any opening for 10 MINUTES or until ALL doors are shut. And if you happen to open another door…the 10 minute timer starts all over again! They say it’s impossible to change it but hey! Easy turned off by pushing the turn signal forward then pulling back cancels it!!! Until you open another fkn door! Once I complete my anger management course thanks to but not funded by Ford,(😂) I will trace the trigger wire as it enters the BCM then add a switch to it so I have control, not the BCM. With light I will add to my van, I will run a dedicated line with my own switches. I’ve actually gone out and bought a NOCO Li-po battery booster and have already used it a few times!

No offence but i cant be arsed watching a 30min video. Did you basically just wire the red and black wires to the exsisting system of the van? I have LED lights and they all have plugs on the end its pissing me off. I just want to wire them to my van lol thanks

why not just go one round HAHAHA

No offense but you sound like Andre 3000... spit them bars

Good luck when they all fall off 😂

12:50 dog being raped

sounds like a black dude

How to burn your van: add more load to existing wires.

these lights are rubbish i had them before
