Installation of outside LED lights

Question

I need some advise. I bought some led strip lights to install on the outside of my 5iver. Since I have an electric awning, I’m going to install them on the wall under the awning. I see three ways to get power. 1. tie into the porch light 2. drill a hole at the upper left side into a kitchen cabinet and tie into light fixture. 3. install a stick on track on the right side along the awning support, drill a hole thru the wall into the storage area and get power directly from the battery. I’m interested in how some of you installed yours.

Up to the roof and down the fridge vent.

The one over the door I tied into the porch light. The one under the awning I drilled a hole into a cabinet that had power.

I drilled a hole into a cabinet and was able to tie into an existing 12v light

I do these for people all the time...a small hole and into the light fixture. I always buy them with the RF remote so no need to point at the eye. Also I suggest you replace the double stick backing with 3M auto molding dbl stick (1/2" wide) it will not fall off. Be sure to use a solvent to clean off wax and residual mold release

I drilled a hole next to where my awning power went into the 5er and ran the wires inside there.
