Instead of this I just soldered onto the backs of the existing lights to hijack power from them (and retain the existing switch functionality) and ran to the strips from them, and removed the lamps from those two lights so just the strips produce light now.
Only downside to connecting into BSI it has an energy saving feature which means your lights may not work all of the time. Also connecting led's when designed for a resistive load may cause damage to the unit ( immo data is stored here so fairly risky if it gets damaged). your better of fitting a relay to the existing rear light unit & fetching a perm supply closer to the intake bypassing the BSI that way each time you open any door the lights come on.

Thanks for the vid mate! Want to try this in the transit
Why not connect it to the existing light

Is this 2 way switching or do you have to have 1st switch on all the time?
