Looks good. Can you post detailed photos during the day on how they look.

Also not sure if its the pic but you can see two shades of the light. Im guessing its due to the two seperate pieces. Can you see this in real life

The two shades of the light like you noticed that I guess because I took a picture from my back seat and In the angle the iPhone camera didn’t catch the light uniform all along the stripe but the light it’s uniform
Hey listen in the end it’s a project that like less than 50$ shipped to my home and literally 2 minutes installation didn’t break my bank at all plus you got some lights in your car at night time right now !

Yes sir couldn’t be happy specially at night time it’s gorgeous!
You were able to have them print in one piece which is 20 inchs long or they did two pieces of 10 like mine?
Also I think we can have them print for a total of 22 inch cause the strip which the led lights are it’s like 23inchs I measured last night and for some reason you have the last led dot in the end that kind looks like left by him self so I guess in couple weeks Im gonna have them reprint for a total of 22 inch ps so I can cover the whole black strip where the leds are!
That’s just a some being OSD lol other than that looks fine !

Looks good! Do you mind sharing the printing specs you used? Like material, layer thickness, etc.? I ask because I feel like yours has a much more uniform look than mine. With mine, I can see the "dotted" light spots on the strip but it seems like with yours it's more of a seamless light bar look. I'm curious if the settings you used for the print job resulted in a strip that was better at diffusing light.

Honestly with you when I called the place I told them that I wanted a TPU 3D stripe printed about 20 inch’s long and I also asked to Gave me the clearest material they had cause I knew that to make these led pup up more I needed some like that !
And they look like what I asked for !
I also looked in my invoice and only state tpu 3D print that’s all !

You’re right I just took a look at your pictures that you posted with yours installed and when you zoom in yours as a lot of dots when mine you can see that the lights it’s pretty uniform for the whole stripe but as said before make sure You just ask for the most clear material !

Yeah I'll need to double check again. I like your look more than mine. I suspect it has something to do with the amount of layers used in the print job. More layers, more detailed but less clear. Less layers, clearer end result but more light passes through.

This is for cars that have the lighting package.

As you see in the video you can find the link to the 3D print in the description.

I downloaded it, sent it off, total price $40.00 CAD.

Should be picking up the pieces in a day or two.

Enjoy

Mine got printed from a shop in Staten Island called 3D Assembyl printing ask for mike he’s got the file that I sended to him the only thing he wasn’t able to print the whole strip 20inches cause of the length so he did for me 2 of 10 inches strip per each door and gloue them drown nicely! It worked out well even one of my friend did today actually and he is happy as well.
