This blog will share some of the necessary information for your guidance. 

Preparation before Installation

Installing LED strip lights on a car door is a relatively easy process that can be completed in a few minutes with the proper materials. You will need the following:

• a length of LED strip light

• a flat head screwdriver

• a drill

• 1/4 inch drill bit

• electrical tape

• wire cutters

First, use the flathead screwdriver to remove the screws inside the car door. Be careful not to drop the screws, as they can be difficult to find once removed.

Next, use the drill to make two holes in the door at each end where you want the LED strip light to be installed. The 1/4-inch drill bit should be sufficient for this task. 

Once the holes are drilled, feed the LED strip light through them so that it is flush with the edge of the door. If necessary, trim the excess strip light off with wire cutters.

Finally, use electrical tape to secure the strip light in place and prevent it from moving around.

Important Safety Precautions

When installing LED strip lights on a car door, it is important to take some safety precautions.

First, be sure to read the instructions that come with the lights before starting the installation. It is also important to disconnect the battery before beginning the installation. This will prevent any electrical shorts from occurring. Once the battery is disconnected, carefully remove any existing door trim and molding. Be careful not to damage the door during this process.

Next, use a drill or tool to make holes for the LED strip lights. Be sure to seal any holes that are made to prevent water and debris from entering the car.

Finally, connect the LED strip lights to the power source and test them before reassembling the door trim. Following these simple steps will help ensure a safe and successful installation.
