I have purchased these (inexpensive EBAY LEDS), and they work fine for straight line applications, however, I would have serious doubts about trying to put these on rounded and curved surfaces. I recently helped another villager installing similar LEDs on their cart, and the typical STRIP LED lights do not take to curved and rounded surfaces well. This is the main reason that I have not decided to provide this service. Since LL indicated that they get 'special' lights, I am assuming that theirs are more flexible, and better suited for Golf Cart installations.
I have installed almost 300 feet of strip LEDs in the kitchen, Lanai, and Birdcage and have found some significant problems, especially with the tap used to secure these in place.
Just my humble opinion.
