Can someone tell me what lights they are using for this? Where did you get them and who makes them? Thanks all!

I used a set of led "underglow" lights from autozone. Not sure on how much or who makes them as they were given to me. I tapped into a cargo lamp wire in the 3rd tail and ran a wire from the inside, behind the b pillar plastic and through the floor under the cab then into the bed.

Since mega mike brought it up, would there be a way to have a switch but leave it on and have the light turn on whenever the tailgate is down, but if you want it off with the tailgate down, turn the switch off.?


I don't see why not. Power from battery to inside switch, run wire from inside switch to a switch similar to a older model door switch installed for tailgate and from there to lights. As long as inside switch is on the switch on the tailgate controls lights. Turn inside switch off and there's no power to the tailgate switch. Presto
