FX4, tell us more. How are they powered, etc?

EDIT: I see that they are battery powered. How are they switched on/off? Do you find them bright enough?

I've scoured the web about these lights and can't find any reviews. Plus every picture is just of the box. I'd like a pic of what is in the box.

I just purchased these and hope they don't let me down (given their price was pretty expensive). I plan to jump the wire for the cargo light in the bed so they just come on automatically with the switch in the cab or when a door is open. Speaking of... does anyone happen to know where the easiest place to tap that wire is? Otherwise I plan to trace it back and tap it inside the cab somewhere convenient.

I have these installed in the bed of mine, they are awsome. I use them every day loading and unlading my equip. into my car. Pix in my album and I am going to post some.
The first pic is just one side, I drilled a hole in my bed liner just under the light to run the wiring through. The second pic is the swithch that mounts to your tailgate, it works great, I swt mine at a angle so that it comes on at a sharper angel of the gate. It is mounted with hook & look so you can set it how you like it. The last pic is of both lights on with no flash on my camera, so scence it had a long exposure it appears a little brighter than they are but not too far off from the pic.
Hope this helps. Best $50 I have spent so far.

I'll post a review as soon as i've had a chance to install and use them for a bit. Probably won't be for a while though, it's almost consistant 24 hours of rain during this time of year up here (Vancouver, B.C.), and no room in the garage right now to do this work.
