Ok i received my LED strip lights, and i dont know exactly where to put them, Like Dangeris style underneath the lights, but i have the stock bumper so i dunno if it will fit, OR like Mr.Feelgoods style on the bumper like the S6. Also i did not receive any adhesive anyone know any type of good adhesive strong tape or anything?



Dangeris Style: R8

Dr.Feelgood style: S6

HEY IM THE LIGHTS KING.........lol jk but no seriously......you should have gotten a thin "red on one side white on the other" strip of adhesive....oznium send it in the bag with everything, but if you lost it than get some 3m tape.

Also you will need a friend to help you. He will push the bumper as u pop/screw back in the sides of the bumper. Its impossible to do this the first time alone TRUST ME.

u will have to cut those off dangeris's how to is all there is buuuuuttt my advice is when you put the bumper back on have anoher person push it in while you screw it, there will be a lil bit of a lip but dont worry about it its not much. Meaning it wont fit "perfect" but w/e. Make sure the bumper goes under the lites bc if you just push it it may puch the lights under so BE CAREFUL and take your time. It takes a little finess and a ton of muscle to put it in right. But dont get discouraged, if yoiu have a problem or if you want email me your number and i can walk you through it just lmk so i can email you my number so you can just call me when your doing it.

ok so the led strip is made for 19in but our lights are NOT 19 in sooooo you have to literally cut the leds in groups of 3 but "12" in all are goin to be cut off. Then at the end you need to add some clear sealant to the edge to keep it waterproof
