Ask HN: What are the best programmable holiday lights?
https://kno.wled.ge/
Many 'effects' already prepackaged. Plus the ability to schedule time based changes (on/off/change pattern/etc.). Includes a web server to provide "app like" control over a phone or PC. Also includes integrations for several "home control" systems and a http API for programmatic control from another system. Can even synchronize plural controllers into a whole 'net' (note, I've not used this feature yet).
Small ESP32 boards (with wifi capability) such as this example (no affiliation, just an example that works):

WS2811 LED strings [1] (of which there are an infinite variety) suitable for outdoor use. One example (no affiliation):
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYZF1WCR
Suitable power supplies, outdoor weather sealed boxes, and wiring (all left to you to locate).
Willingness to assemble the pieces and some time to do so. Having a soldering iron is helpful here, although one could possibly get by with screw terminal blocks inside weatherproof boxes if need be for many of the 'connections'.
[1] Or other 'programmable LED' strings for which WLED is compatible (it works with numerous different programmable LED standards, browse the WLED website for details).

Anyone know where I could obtain these
I’ll do you one better: Here is the WLED main site - they cover everything - however you want it for your vehicle is up to you! (If you want to see a truck I personally worked (with 2 other main guys doing the woodwork and wiring) on that was probably the “most expensive” project with these controllers, check out the SEMA entered “Realtree Stormtrooper truck” - a LOT of time went in to that and almost a year of prep, not a fan myself, but custom electronics are what I like doing)

The perfect WLED board... is not working.
Did you use the esp32.bin? If so, you should instead use ESP32-C3 here: https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/releases/download/v0.14.0/WLED_0.14.0_ESP32-C3.bin

How do I get LED strips here? My plan is to use Govee H619A and PVC U profiles again (like in the last pic) for the green part but how do i get electricity up there? the outlet is X'ed 'cause theres gonna be a shower right under it and theres only one more outlet next to the sink in pic 2
Friend replaced all his govee cintrollers with WLED.

What controller to use for 9 channels?
I came here from NightDriver, which uses FastLED on ESP32 to drive ARGB strips using RMT. As far as I understand using RMT is specific to ESP32 and there's a hardware limitation of 8 channels.
- I made a 32 Band LED Audio Spectrum Analyser. I’ve put a link of the full video tutorial with the GitHub repo below in the 1st comment. Cheers.
