DIY to permanent outdoor light tracks or how to hang your permanent lights

My wife gave me some Asahom permanent lights for my birthday, saying we needed more lights for Christmas. I’ve been wanting to install them on the eaves around my house, but I don’t like visible wires. After looking into tracks to hide them, I found they were too expensive—anywhere from $60 for 50 feet to over $1,000 for the whole house. Then, while browsing YouTube, I found a guy named Northern Chris, who used vinyl undersill trim and a bit of elbow grease to install his lights for just $0.51 per foot, or about $40 for 50 feet (adjusted for current prices).

If you’re searching for a way to hide those wires, take a look at his video. When the weather cools down a bit (I live in the South), I plan to install these lights using this technique. If you have any ideas or suggestions, share them with the community.
