LED strip added on front under hood

[Mr Big]

I decided to experiment by adding a new light strip on the front, since some new vehicles have it.
It was a simple install, as the strip was self-adhesive. I used a fuse tap, to tap into the fuse panel on the passenger side, so when the lights come on and go off, it follows them. The strip was a perfect length, and the cost was under $10.00.

How did you run the wire from the engine compartment to the passenger side fuse panel and what fuse position did you use?

Thanks

the passenger side fuse panel I'm referring to is under the hood, in front of the battery.

Can you give some details on where you got the light strip, length and light color, please?

I went with the cheaper one as they are all the same, unless you want changing colors and remote control, which I have no interest in.

I used these to tap the fuse box fuse, that I purchased a while ago:

Just what everybody needs, more light to blind on-coming vehicles. I have a 2019 Max, I would like to join the crowd blinding on-coming vehicles. Is there a LED add on for my 2019 Max that to the on-coming vehicles, would appears as the Second Coming. It would wonderful if it could also cause paint to peel off on vehicles that I pull up to at a light.

Funny
Here is a suggestion:

If the lights are adjusted properly, you will never blind the oncoming driver.
I run my low beams, strip and fog lights, All LED, and never got flashed once yet.
Loading the back with heavy gear will raise the lights and may cause approaching vehicles to flash.

Which fuse under the hood did you tap into? Mine doesn’t have one for the lights.
