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. *by on Reviewed in the United States December 24, 2019* 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.. ## Frequently Bought Together - AKEPO Ф0.19in(5mm)*16.4ft(5m) PMMA Plastic Side Glow Cable for Fiber Optic Light, Fiber Optic Lighting Decoration for Car Home Use Fiber Optic Light - AZIMOM PMMA Plastic End Glow Fiber Optic Cable 0.75mm(0.03in) 100m(328ft)/Roll for Star Sky Ceiling All Kind Led Light Engine Driver Source - AKEPO PMMA END Glow Fiber Optic Light Cable 100pcs Ф0.03in(0.75mm) 6.5ft/2m for LED Star Ceiling Sky Light Kit and Fibre Optical Lighting Decoration (Without Light Source) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/131632395-akepo-5mm-5m-pmma-plastic-side-glow-cable-for-car](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/131632395-akepo-5mm-5m-pmma-plastic-side-glow-cable-for-car) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
