Default Red/White LED maplights

Well, after 4 months I just had to start adding some led lights to my 2013 I have been playing with led lighting for 10 years now and have it on most everything I own... house, quad, trucks, dog house and yard, computers... anywhere there is 12 volt power

My first led upgrade was the backup lights, not sure how they will light up at night yet but look 2x times brighter than stock. I hope the spread pattern will be as good

Default map lights next

Next led changeover was the map lights and dome light... Since there are two switches on the map light, I went with a dual color led arrays. 2 white and two red... white leds tied to the drivers side switch... red leds on the passenger side switch. When you open the doors, all 4 of them light up.

With the red led lights, you can drive at night with them on and it lets you see everything in the cab without getting the bad side glare off the side windows like the blue leds

The use of duct tape looks horrible IMO.

It is not duct tape and it hides the plug and wires Tested them tonight and they are very bright... Way brighter than the simple plug in led I had



My order of strip lighting has come in so next will be led bed lighting and step... by then the led bar for the front should be here

Adding pics of map lights


the red is great for having on when driving if needed as the white is way to bright now to have on while moving
