Default blue light special

I took these pics last night. They are blue LED rope lights mounted inside the top of my rod boxes. They make the whole boat glow blue.

it was leftover from a job. A customer with a 31 Contender had me install this under the gunnals around the entire boat. I had about 8' leftover that made its way onto my boat. All I had to buy was two power chords to connect the rope lights to a power source. I used zip ties with screwholes to fasten it to the inner top of the rod box. Then I wired them both to a common switch. Now I just need some matching underwater lights.
