Finally after this long winter I got a chance to install the TricLED front hood reactor ring. I decided to do it differently by using a high capacity small foot print lithium 12v battery operated by remote control. The battery, remote control module and the ring itself are all connected with barrel connectors making it super easy to disconnect if I ever need to remove the frunk lid. The battery and remote control module tuck neatly into the mesh pocket in the front of the frunk liner, which I was not using anyways. I expect the battery will last 8 hours of continuous operation between charges. In the pictures, I placed the battery, remote control module and remote controller on the frunk lid for display. After drilling the hole for the wires from the reactor ring i drilled one more hole through the support then hot glued the wire terminal blocks into a spot that looks like it was meant for them. The finished ring is shown lit, but it is much more impressive for real. The remote has several different flashing patterns with brightness and speed control. The same remote control and controller that TricLED sells I got for $4 direct from China delivered. The battery was $28 with barrel connectors installed with a wall charger.
This was a quick alternative to routing wires to a power source and installing yet another switch (already have 3 for the other LED's). Thought this may be an idea for others that may not want to splice into the Spyder power.
Let me know if you want info on any of the items for purchasing.
