Led strip lights

[USCDude]

I would love to get this done, but I am a complete idiot when it comes to this stuff. LOL

How difficult was it to hook everything up? How does it get power? Treat me as a total Newb.

I do have an RXV with lights.

The led Bluetooth Controller is fed by 12 volts. I have a separate 12 volt battery for my lights...

You just power the controller by 12volts. If you don't have a separate 12 volt accessory battery, you could buy a voltage reducer from Scottyb to have a 12 volt power source.

After that... The led strip has 4 contacts...Red, Green, Blue and Black.

You just run the light strips in a series with the four wires or tie the wires together back near where ever you mount the controller.

I mounted the controller under my seat next to the battery source.

It was fairly straightforward

I much prefer the pods to the strips. The pods are more directionally controllable and since they are enclosed, with self stick tape backing, installation is simple and direct..
I run an extra 12 volt battery, the same one powers my head and tail lights as well as my horn. Simple run a power line, fused through a switch, from the battery positive to each light pod. Do the same with a ground line back to the battery.
I have used these pods on the cart, a couple different Harley's and am installing them on my 48 pickup as interior and accent lights. They work like a charm have a very minimal drain and are easy to maintain. If one pod goes down, replace it, not the whole strip. I usually use something like these.

I wouldn't mind trying the pods, but I wanted to be able to change the colors.

I wonder if they have them in multi color?

I have seen multi color pods in kit form, with a controller. I have also seen, and have a few, multi-color single bulb units.
