re: "My car is negative ground but this would work with either negative
or positive systems."
Only if the strips are/remain electrically isolated (presume these are
standard, negative ground devices; their website doesn't specify so I
think it's a safe presumption). A direct short would fry (at least)
your brake light circuit; these should probably be fused given where
they're located.

Walmart Alpena 77702 Red 24-Inch Strip</a> It?s for 12
volt automotive system and it is very bright!. The strip
uses a 3M adhesive to stick on the bumper. There are two
wires coming off one end of each strip. I stuck the strips
onto the bumper so the wires come out in the center then ran
the wires into the boot alongside the license plate light
wires. (no modifications) One wire from each strip goes to
ground and the other goes to the brake ? turn signal wire.
My car is negative ground but this would work with either
negative or positive systems. Apply the brakes and both
strips light up. Select one of the turn signals and the
appropriate side lights up with the car?s turn signal
light. I feel much safer on the road with this
