Just added some new LED's to the Xpress for night fishing. I have two LED PODS underneath the dash, 1 in the cup holder, 1 12in led strip in each storage compartment, and two single LED'S to light up the front deck. All wired to an accessorie switch, one flip and Let their be light. I forgot to take pics of the storage so those will be coming soon.



Ohh and thats a bottle of water making that green glow in my cup holder.




I got most of my LEDS'S off EBAY. I have 1 12inch LED in each rod locker. The LED i used for those have about 24 leds on each strip maybe more. The ones lighting up the front deck are 2 single leds that came from www.oznium.com they are called 4 chip led's. Also their are two led PODS that have 4 leds in each POD underneath the console they also came off ebay. As for wiring i used small gauge speaker wire mostly because the power and ground are attached together which makes running wire very easy. I have a optional accessorie switch in my boat that nothing was hooked to and was be wired to the powerblock underneath the console. Just ran the wire connected using closed end connectors for correct size wire and thats it. One flip and you have light. LEDS have minimun power draw. I ran them all night and noticed minimal change in voltage.. If you have any questions feel free to let me know.. It was a simple install just depedns how your boat is setup.

PODS that were purchased from Ebay
2 under the console

that is cool


Hooking a fish is like playing string with a cat. The exact size, shape, color of string matters less than how you wiggle it- and little cats are easier to fool than big ones. John Gierach

A good way to keep a light on without running down your battery - LED's don't use much electricity at all.

Great job, I have done some battery LED boxes that I attached to my T-top, the battery lasted all year, just a 9V battery. Did not look as sweeeeeeet as your setup, but it accomplished the same. Amazing how those little LED's can light up an entire area!

Now these guys have the lights for any setup.
