Sure do, I made a light for the left turn and one for the right turn. Got ahold of a old 4 pin trailer connector and wired them to that for the time being, later will had wire to the truck.

Also made under the bed lip lights, pict may be hard to see they're on, but it was around the same cost.

How did you make that work for your turn signals?

The turn signals on our trucks are the same filament the illuminates with the brake lights. It is the color striped wire on the light connector. I was in a hurry and using the 4 pin connector I just connected the left positive (light) to the left turn of the 4 pin. Then same for the right. For hard wiring, I'll use the color striped wire at the tail light housing, and the ground will be the factory ground located on the drivers side frame rail near the spare tire.

The lights used are a 5 meter (16.4 ft) waterproof LEDs. They are ~$10 from eBay. I've used white on my truck and my dad's, green on my brother-in-laws car and now red for my tailgate, then soon red on a '99 SD tailgate as well. They are super easy to work with. Correct me if I'm wrong but BrowningSCrew has used them as well and has good luck out of them.
