I'm proud of you! I hope you used a voltage regulator for the LEDs? If you
didn't, you will seriously kill the expected life span.

Nope, the LED's he is talking about are designed to operate in a 12
VDC system, i.e., with system voltages as high as, probably, 15 VDC. I
initially built voltage regulators into the light fixtures I built
using the same 30 LED tubes. Bad! Dim lights. Then I had a closer look
at the "tubes". The LED's are wired in series parallel with resisters
for each series section to limit current Flow. You just plug them in..
