WFLB-xx series Waterproof LED Flexible Light Bar | Side Emitting | Flexible LED Light Strips | LED Light Strips & Bars | Super Bright LEDs
I believe this is the strand i used. I definitely with Superbrightleds.com because of their quality reputation. Secondly i went with this strip because of how they wired in a series configuration. Every 3rd light can be cut. I actually cut 6 lights off of each side to fit the length i was going after.
I wired them together, but grounded each side separately. I also added a switch just in case i ever wanted to turn them off.
Found a pretty sweet touch sensor switch that is completely flat so blend in under the dash entirely flush. I put the switch in one of the empty slots to the left under the steering wheel. I'll take pictures of this as well.
I wired all the light wiring near the cabin filter (took out the glove box to get to this) and then behind the stereo to the switch. There is probably a better way but trying to go through the wiring grommet seemed to be a hassle so I went this route instead.

Here are a few pics of the switch I used. Its completely flush with the lower console and is a touch sensor. When on it has a blue light showing and when off it has a red light showing. I have never actually turned them off while driving, but i thought i might install it just in case. Plus i have a few empty slots anyway, so why not.

surprisingly I got the switch at autozone. And it was somewhat just because it didnt come with any instructions on what the 3 prongs on the bottom of the switch actually did. So i had to kind of figure that out on my own.

on the back of the switch, there are 3 prongs. ground, accessory, power. I ground the switch to a bolt near the stereo. the accessory prong goes to the lights and the power prong i hooked up to a power wire near the stereo as well.
