I found some super bright LEDs online and they came in strips of 30" each. I just cut the rubber from my rub rail where I wanted them to go and cleaned the metal surface with alcohol, then used the 3M adhesive backing to attach. Drilled small holes to run the wires to a power source that I wasn't using and everything seems to be fine. I put a power switch at the console and one up front on the deck so that I can either turn them on when driving or wait till I go to drop the trolling motor. You can see the LED strip in the daytime where I cut out the rubber and it doesn't look too bad, nor did it compromise the rail. They really light up well in the dark. Also, the LEDs don't draw much current at all.
