Seneca LED lighting upgrade

Got tired of reaching around all over the ceiling of the storage bays for the light switch so I decided to upgrade to LED lighting and add door switches so the lights come on when you open the door. I also wired them so all the LED lights come on no matter what door you open and while I was at it, I added a much needed light in the battery compartment. It was a small struggle contorting into the bays to do the wiring and mounting the strips but after it was all done, it was worth it. I also added "mood" lighting down the passenger side with RGB color LED strip to add a little color at night

Here is a list of what I used. I chose to put power jacks in so I could unplug and replace in case a strip failed. If you have any questions let me know.

12 pack pin switches https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F251556407907

Used to wire hot and ground 10-Packs DC Male Pigtail Cable,30cm(10 Inch)2.15.5mm Solder 12V 18AWG Power Adapter Socket Flexible Stranded Extension Cord,Copper Wire for CCTV Security Camera System,5050 Led Strip Light(Red&Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XKPZQXC..._I8O6AbAA4C3A4

Used to add a power jack to the led light strips where you cut them HitLights LED Light Strip Connector, 8mm Single Color 3528 - Strip to DC Jack, 4 Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006IWM1AG..._8bP6Ab9KYVTAY

Used these extensions to run from the multi color light strip up into a bay so I could mount the control box out of the elements. I used heat shrink to help hold the the plugs together and seal them from the elements. 2 pcs/pack black 5M 16.4ft 4 Color RGB Extension Cable LED Strip Connector Extension Cable Cord Wire 4 Pin LED Connector for SMD 5050 3528 2835 RGB LED Light Strip ,rgb wire,rgb extension cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075FGSTG4..._hdP6Ab8ZFH6RX

I stumbled across this post while researching for my brand new seneca. I love what you've done. Can you post detailed instructions? Would be interested in doing the same.
thanks
