Supplies:
--Lightbar - 3D or 4D optics work best
--Strip of LEDs(I used "supernight" 5050 RGB LED strips (color shift)) get them on eBay, amazon or supernight online shop:
Recommended Buy the strip seperate: http://www.supernight.cc/supernight-5m- ... eds-m.html
AND then buy a BETTER RF controller similar to this one here: http://www.supernight.cc/supernight-2-4 ... light.html
OR they sell a kit, not as good:

---solid color LED strips(only one color): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DTO ... UTF8&psc=1
--You NEED this mounting tape or similar, the tape that comes with the strips is junk and doesn't insulate the strips enough:

--Metric allen keys
--#2 phillips screw driver(sometimes needed)
--silicone
--OPTIONAL: I bought some universal Lamin-x clear film to protect lightbar lens from UV fading http://www.lamin-x.com
---might want these to use the leftover RGB strip: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261009626105?_t ... :MEBIDX:IT
---might want some RGB splitters: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251600873240?_t ... :MEBIDX:IT
---Also, mentioned later, but it'd be a good idea to buy some waterproof connectors for the RGB wires:

Also, I bought the RGB/colorshift LED on the page below and am going to put it in the cab of my truck near the switch so I know what color my RGB LEDs are set on without getting out and looking at it:

Foreword(for the 4D bar): The initial write up I did was on a cheap, piece of junk ebay lightbar. I purchased a much better 30" cree 4D optic lightbar from @ledlightbar on instagram. The results of the backlighting on the 4D optic versus the standard optics on the ebay bar are much better. Here are some pictures:
For the dissasembly of the bar, you can follow the one below this, but its very simple. Remove the screws holding on the lens, remove lens, then remove the screws holding on the optics, remove optics. Then you're ready to install the LED strip.
\/This is the power wire side and the other side. You cannot loop over the power wires or behind them easily, so I started and ended the strip on that side.
