I went to autozone and got two packs of the 12 inch led strip lighys. 4 total. I mounted a small switch in the bedliner and i ran a wire from the battery to the switch. All the lights i tied intogether ad hooked them up to the switch as well. I did this to my diesel amd 3 of my buddies wanted it done as well. It works really good for night time trying to get stuff out from the bed. The lighfs are double sided tape so you can place them pretty much anywhere

scroll down to "Truck Kits & LED"...

http://bluewaterled.com/catalog.php


I put one 30LED strip in my camper shell (ordered the Total Boat Package for my bass boat and had an extra strip leftover)...and it lights very nicely...might add a second just for S&Gs. Best part is they only draw ~1 watt each (.085A)...

They had a 32 or 36 inch single as well an i was debating on putting one on each side but they were 40$ a piece and the clamps on my tonneau cover are in the way. I bet it would have put oit some serious light though

Great job! I'd love to do the same to my truck.

So is it easier to wire these all the way from the battery, or tap a power source elsewhere?

What model switch is that?
