Does it just connect to the battery? Is the blue light blue or does it actually let you see inside like white light would? I'm debating to get blue cause my car is blue but I'm worried they may be too blue and won't make the engine bay visible enough.

Yes I ordered mine with the remote. The remote offers several functions. OFF/ON and at least five to seven flashing patterns if you desire. It comes with all wiring, but you will either need to solder some of the wires to the SMD wands or use wire connectors like I opted. You may also need to extend the wiring to the drivers side if you choose the same location for install as I did. The blue is very blue, like 10k, so almost purple. I believe the white is around 6K, so it will offer better light with a soft white blue glow. Black to ground and red to battery. Completely controlled with remote. You could get creative and wire it directly to a switch inside the car or even a pushpin under hood to turn on when hood is lifted. I also ran wire loom over everything to protect the wiring and clean it up. The wiring on this kit is very high gauge, so you will need to be careful when cutting, soldering or using wire connectors.
