    Wouldn't bother mate, everyones doing it now, it just looks tacky.. But that's just my opinion. :)
    You can get the lights in halfords and then any garage will fit them for you..

    They certainly are shocking especially when fitted to an old sh!tbox.

    I want to hook up my led strip blue
    so they pulse with the bass but still trying to find out what size resistor I need

    Amplifier
    500 rms at 4 ohm
    output V is 45 V led strip 12v
    output current is about 11 amps.

    Sub is 400 rms at 4 ohm
    led strip 12v
    Also should I wire them in series with the sub or parallel
    In parallel the current will change and I might need a bigger resistor:pac:

    it would be better if you kept them independant of one another from a wiring point of view (imo), and just make the LED sound sensitive (google for 'sound sensitive', 'sound reactive' etc)

    dislike the whole idea of it, but anywho..!
