Just curious, because it looks like the new wire connector would never fit under the sill?
The connectors themselves are OK and easy to install. But the plastic caps/insulators, are huge and will not fit under the sill. I plan on insulating the connectors with tape first and then silicone instead of tape if everything works out.

Default Does anyone have an updated ebay link for this light strip?

I am trying to do this modification and want to buy some of these strips for my 928 sill's but can't find a link that works?

Does anyone have an updated link that would find these on ebay?

Many Thanks in advance

Just do a search on eBay.

Vendors and availability are always changing.

After doing a little researching and mind-bending, I am thinking about trying LED's. On Ebay, there is a myriad of shapes and sizes, and colors. Anyone tried the LED approach? Just type in LED panel

WAIT! Paul Champagne came up with a better approach using firberoptic tape. Plus I think 2" EL is not wide enough.
