Default Underbody LED Qusetion (installed, trying to touch up)

Ok, so I just have one quick question about my LED kit (Oznium.com single color kit - ). I'm going to add wheel well LEDs soon but I noticed that the front tubes don't quite meet up with the wheel area but the side tubes leave about a foot between themselves and the start of the wheel wells... is that normal? 'Cause the tube size (2x3' and 2x4') seemed to be a standard size so I just wanted to know if I should add some LEDs between the tubes and the wheel wells as well.

of course you can. 10 bucks per strip, and there's 8 strips total (2 per wheel well)

I assume you have them connected to your undebody kit... where did you tap the wheel well lights into? I'm trying to decide the best place to do so...

thats a nice set up, i wish i went with a single color led kit, cuz my million color one is spotted and not as bright. plus i used the wheel well tubes to put behind my grills, so they both light up but no wheel wells Ty_max: white would look really good...

i didnt tap the underbody for the wheel wells. I actually tap'd the engine bay + grilles. I figure the underbody can be set to a non-illegal color, while the engine bay is always going to be illegal (blue), so i just hooked all the illegal stuff to the same switch
