    Are there any LED light strips for cars (for my Prius c specifically) that do not require wiring them in with the car battery? In other words, are there any with their own battery? Thanks.

    Any particular location/use in mind? Tbh I've never seen one, not saying one doesn't exist, but you could also just make one. That would require taking any normal LED strip and powering it with a battery of your choosing.

    I want to put one on the rear to let people know I am there.

    Just turn on your headlights. They do sell dog collars with led lighting you could use. Just be careful of the color you choose. Btw this is probably illegal. You could also get reflective tape and run it across your back bumper.

    I always turn on headlights when I want others to notice I'm there. I always thought those not connected to main battery don't last long.

    get something like this with a portable USB battery charger. Maybe stick it to magnets so you can place it on the car and remove it easily without damaging the paint or forced to permanently stick onto the surface.
