Anyone ever install LED strips?

Curious if anyone has experimented with LED strips? If you have, where can they be plugged in?

Something like this.

I put them in the fog light cowlings on the bumper as DRLs. I wired them to the dash outlet fuse. They come on when I unlock the car, turn off 5 minutes after I lock it.

Here ya go. Mine are individual LEDs spaced an inch apart. A continuous strip would look better.
