Flexible LED strips

Anyone tried these (or something like it)? It looks promising, but maybe too good to be true? Not advertising these, genuinely asking if anyone has tried it.

^^hey those are not bad and could look good if properly installed and you don't try to make it something it isn't...so a basic pattern etc to highlight car would be nice....ok, may do this but based on some of reviews, doesnt sound bright enough for DRL type function and that would be my preferred use...if your order, do a review and may pull trigger myself...

So I got the lights in today. Not sure where I am going to put them, since they are thicker then I expected. They also dont have that box on them like in the videos?? But it does have 3 wires to connect.
There are no instructions.

Anyway, when i figure out where they are going, I will get them on and take pictures.

Here are a couple of pics fresh out the package.

...not sure why i was picturing a thin or at least much thinner, as i even contemplated placing them in between the glass housing and front bumber edge gap, but guess that's not an option...?? doesnt look like stuff on site..maybe country specs or something

That was my original thought. Now that I look at the pictures on the site again. Most of them are under the glass. Or stuck on the top.
