LED Running Vest Fix 🦺

I fixed my running vest light by replacing the worn-out flexible wire. The original wire stopped working, possibly due to a pinch. Instead of buying a new vest, I got this replacement, and now my vest shines brighter than ever!

It’s what I purchased.

Make sure you have super bright led or laser to be able to see it on the side glow. I didn’t measure it but suspect it’s the right length..
