Here are the stock LED lights on the power running boards. It was raining out when I took these...

So I've installed version 2.0 of this.
I never was thrilled with the initial install. The running board is not flat across the bottom, therefore, the led strip wasn't able to completely fasten to the bottom of the plastic 100% as I would have liked.
I went to Lowes and in the plexiglass cutting section, they carry these plastic trim pieces made to be used with window screens. I purchased two of them.
I pulled the sticky tape that came on the LED strips off and tossed it (would never hold up to the elements under the vehicle) and I used a professional strength 2 part 3M epoxy to epoxy the lights to the plastic "housing".
I then cut the housing to length, and screwed it (using 1/2" self tappers) to the bottom of the running boards. MUCH better and cleaner install. Not to mention the plastic piece serves as a guide and I now have a 100% straight strip of leds. Before if you parked on a puddle or on my painted garage floor, you could see the reflection with a slight hint of waviness in the lights.

Funny you mention that... I was just thinking about that earlier tonight.
My next mod is the tow hooks. The lower fascia with the holes is finally "supposed" to be in tomorrow. If so, I'm going to get that done ASAP and then maybe I'll move onto the door handles next.
