Looks like better illumination than the original setup.
Are they blue LEDs, or, is that just the way they showed up in the pix?
If they are blue, do they offer clear, and, other colors?
Can you give us a link to the ebay listing, so we can see how they look?

Great out of the box thinking.
I used 4 led strips (white) in my trunk and the illumination is great. Plus if the trunk is open it won't drain the battery. I've ordered more for the interior and under the hood. Bonnet for those across the pond.
