rev up your engines, today I'm going to show you how you can have a party in your car
and ironically enough I'm going to use a $19 party light kit in a car that
originally cost a hundred and ten thousand dollars, now I actually tried
out a whole bunch of these LED light kits and found that this $19 one, it works
just as good, if not better than the other ones, now the cool thing about these
kits are, there so we easy to put in, you can either plug them into the cigarette
lighter or if you have a more modern car, you can plug them into a USB port, these
systems work on either 5 volts or 12 volts, you have to change anything it
automatically knows on a control box, as you can see here, the input can be either
12 volts or 5 volts, and it comes with four strips that have varying colors in
them, you can stick them inside the car or under the car, wherever you want them
and it even comes with this cool remote that you can do all kinds of stuff with
including a music button, so it will react to music
and I really like this remote, because I tried out other ones, I even tried out
one that cost over fifty bucks, that was supposed to use your cell phone and an
amp to make it work, that's this mini Rock one, and believe me, don't buy this thing
it's a piece of junk, I put it on my cell phone, it wouldn't even connect and it
would say there's an error, I finally got it to connect, then I put it on and it
said, oh unit won't respond, and an insult to injury, when I put the app on the
stupid thing put some malware on my phone, so every time even before I turned
it on, it was running a bunch of ads, so stay away from that company, they're
making junk, their app doesn't work, and they put malware on your phone when
you download it, hey I may be old but even when I was a kid, they have TV remotes that
worked like this, these work perfectly fine, it was in the $19 kit, it's got a watch
battery, if it goes bad you buy another watch battery for a couple of bucks, this
is a killer thing, this comes with the kit for $19 and it works great, and let's
face it, you're using this thing inside your car, so range isn't a big deal
it's not going that far, I tried it out it works great, day or night, rain or shine,
hey $19 for the whole setup, you can't really beat that for a little
entertainment, now the lights themselves, hey there little leds and you can see as
I talk, lalala, it even reacts to my voice, so it works pretty well and
being LEDs guess what, they hardly use any power at all, so you really get a lot of
bang for your buck with us toy, now the unit itself comes with really nice
long wires, so you can mount them wherever you want, you can mount them on the outside
of the car, you can mount them on the inside of the car, if you want to buy a
few kits, you can put them in the trunk, you can put them under the hood, you can
put them wherever you want, and if you want different colors for different moods
look they got them all, they got red, green, blue, and they even have various patters
you can react to, and of course they really look cool at night check this out,
it even reacts to the noise of the air coming through the AC when it's on
full blast, it's pretty cool, and with a little
sticky back adhesive that's built into it, you just peel it off and this thing
will stick to just about anything, and if you're a real fanatic, you can always put a
little mounting bracket over it, stainless steel with screws that'll hold
it in place anywhere, hey I would have killed for this kind of stuff when I was a kid
heck we thought it was cool just to take the light bulbs out of the dash and
paint them a little red and then put them back in and have cool red dash lights,
and since this is mechanic Monday, I'm giving away some of these LED bars, just
place a clean non offensive comment on the YouTube comments below, and the
computer will randomly pick the winner, so if you never want to miss another one
