Need to replace the under awning LED light strip. Tons available on Amazon etc. Looking for recommendations from someone who has purchased and installed any of these.

Need a strip with flying leads to crimp/solder to existing wiring. Tried a strip from Camping World but it is very flaky. It has a 2 pin tiny connector with 1/8" long pins at end with mating connector that is much to flimsy for a reliable connection. It cannot be removed.

I just installed Rolightic awning lights that cost 28.99. This was a plug and play for my trailer. My rv was prewired for awning lights. It took me about 15 minutes. Factory wanted $120.00 plus freight for basically the same lights.

Anyone have experience with cutting to the exact length needed? Or using the outdoor light as a peer source(12v)

Have to buy a strip designed to be cut. They'll have lines where you can cut, typically every 3 or so LED's.
