view full answer... - Is Pop and Lock Light Kit part # PAL9135 Compatible with PAL9555
- The reason the Pop and Lock light kit part # PAL9135 is recommended with the # PAL9000 is because the # PAL9000 comes with key fobs that have light buttons integrated into them. That said, since the # PAL9555 does use a 12 volt power source it could be used with the # PAL9135 but there wouldn't be a key fob setup.

view full answer... - Installing Alpena FlexLED Light Strip
- The Alpena FlexLED, # ALP77426 are 12 Volt lights. You will simply need to connect to a 12 Volt source running the wires in whatever routing (possibly drilling a hole) needed to reach connecting point selected.

view full answer... - Can Alpena FlexLED part # ALP77426 be Used on Motorcycle and How to Wire
- When installing lights on a motorcycle like with the Alpena FlexLED part # ALP77426 you'll have to power the lights straight from the motorcycle battery as unlike vehicles there aren't keyed power sources available. So you'll need to use a switch to power this off and on as needed. We don't have switches that would be ideal or discreet enough for a motorcycle application though so your best option would be to find a small switch elsewhere.
This is very flexible and the back of the strip...

- A spray-in bed liner can be fairly rough, bumpy, which would make it difficult for adhesive to stick to.

If you can flatten out a small area then that will provide more surface area for the adhesive to stick to.
