Default Help with LED lighting in a truck bed.

Can you any of you gents recommend a kit that's easy to install? Would you guys recommend a site where I can go and buy the light bars and piece together a kit myself.

I'm looking at the LEDGLOW kit on sale on Ebay, but I'm concerned those 4 little lights may not be enough. The price looks solid for $59.

I have a short bed 2010 KR.

Thank you so much in advance,

If I was going to do the mod myself, I would look into the COB LED bars. They're beyond bright, have a wide beam pattern, are exceptionally thin and very durable.




Grab a couple sets and position them equally across the inside of the bed rails.

If you're feeling fancy, a hood pin switch mounted in the tailgate path could automatically close the light circuit, and power should be easily found at the trailer wiring connection.

Check out http://www.superbrightleds.com/searc.../led%20strips/

They have a ton of stuff and there are several threads on here that have "how-to's" on installation, switches, etc., such as this one: https://www.f150forum.com/f38/led-bedlights-143928/
