Default DIY Ambient Lighting

Just finished installing an ambient lighting strip that I picked up on Amazon for $13 and thought it looks great! Super easy to install, you just have to put the ends into the crevices in the trim and run it around the car. The top part of the dash had to be glued on as there's nowhere to stick the strip into. It comes with a USB connector and I just plugged it into one of the USB ports in the center console. There is a converter that makes a white noise, but not noticeable while driving/listening to music. Hope this helps!

Here is the one I purchased:

and I purchased the 5ft blue one. There are other colors to choose from.

Not a big fan but I am conflicted. It does have a cool Tron-vibe to. How far does the lighting stick from the crevices? Can you take a few close-up pictures? It's cheap enough where I might try it too.

Hello, is this one piece of strip, or have you applied several pieces or splitted the strip?
