Thanks BB,

Wanted to install a new JL Head unit, but ran out of budget.

Hanukkah is over and I got some boat bling products....wife saw my box arrive and wrapped it before I got home. Tried bottle of viynal sauce on a little bit of seat mold I noticed today and was not impressed. Starbrite is better. Might just keep bc it is prob less harsh as you don’t need to rinse it after with water. Note to self...dry out seats prior to storing for a couple days

Yeah Driller! Hey, I had the seablaze lumitechs on my 240 but look at these:

Supposedly they put out 8000 lumens but more importantly they have a lifetime guarantee. And they are more cost effective. I'm putting one one each side and one of these in the middle if it clears. All RGB and controllable with the remote.

Nice YT. I've searched the web for a couple of months and I've decided to go with the equipment I have listed. They should all play well together and run from a single controller. That was important to me to have a single controller to sync all the lights to the same spectrum color combo.

Yeah I'm hoping the controller I have now will since with the new lights. What I have is the same one pictures on their website so we'll see.

When you put the LED's in the bow Cubby's look at installing a separate switch. When your underway it's really hard to see if they are on at night. On my 262 I don't have to worry about it because of the location and configuration, but it's worth noting if you're doing an install.
