I installed this a couple months ago and just now getting around to posting a pic. So here it is.

I didn't have any pics at the time but here it is. I ran the wires from the passenger side down through the hole in the bed behind the tail lights. I had to remove the tail lights to do so. Ran them under the truck over to the drivers side. I tapped into the trailer harness for power. Ran them up the drivers side behind the tail light and connected to the switch you see here. Just put some 3M emblem tape on the edges of the switch and connected. Stuffed all the wires back in the hole and stuck the switch on there. The tape looks like crap but nobody will see it unless you are laying down in the bed. I thought about wiring it into the cab but didn't want to have to get in the cab just to turn them on.



Edit: Sorry for the sideways pic

I added the correctly oriented pic in my profile pics.

2 things.

1. Do NOT get lights from a local store as they are only a 1-2ft long, and are unjustifiably expensive. Like 20-30$ for a few feet
Go on amazon or ebay, and buy IP68 waterproof led lighting. You will need 5m of lights if you have a standard bed.

2. Then go to autozone and pick up some wire and a waterproof toggle switch (if you decide to wire them directly to your battery) (i recommend that) and wire the lights accordingly)

I did that, took about 3hrs, and only cost about 22$ (i already had wire laying around.) PM me if you want more info on how i did mine



It would be much more brighter still if my toolbox wasnt there!
