All these photos and nothing on the interior camper shell lighting? I'm looking to add some lighting to the inside of my camper shell and looking for options. Thanks in advance.

[QUOTE=stmartin84;3364402]Purchased everything from superbrightleds.com. I knew I wanted a rigid set up but didn't like the lengths offered on the pre-made sets so decided to make my own and buy all the parts separately which was more pricey but worth it to me. Bought the aluminum channel (40"), clear plastic cover, custom length 5050 LED's (40") and away I went. I was really lucky in that I used the through bolts from my roof rack to create a way to mount the aluminum strips to the roof, otherwise aside from gluing them to the roof I am not sure of a way to do this. I just know I definitely did not want to mount lights to the bed rails as most do. Because I had power to my cap for the crappy dome light it came with I just tapped into that and ran my switch and wires in the corner post behind the tail light using the existing wire loom that my cap installers installed for the light and power locks on my cap. One mistake I made was that I first bought a "momentary" switch which needs to be depressed to work the whole time. You need a "latching" switch as those are "push on, push of" function.

Just Installed Retrofitted HID Head and Foglights By bilinvic.
These are secondary market headlights, purchased from a former F150 owner who bought them new a couple of years ago from bilinvic, and drove them for 500 miles before selling his truck. They've been boxed since then. Like new, they required a once over before I took receipt... fresh boots, and a check up.
I also had new fogs fashioned by bil, both arriving at the same time. I have since installed and aimed the lights and am now enjoying them immensely. I could not go back to halogens from here. I don't think you could overdrive them.
Headlights
FX-R package w/ 3" lens
Morimoto 5Five ballasts & Morimoto 5k HID bulbs
Apollo v2.0 w/ custom aluminum shroud extensions
Amber xbA LED angel eyes
OEM chrome headlights
Morimoto H13 wire harness
Foglights
9 watt LED Projector Driving lights (6000k Color, 600 Lumen Output, 120 Degree Output, IP67 Waterproof Rating, CNC Aluminum Housing (raw aluminum), 0.7 Amps current draw, 30,000 Hour Lifespan)
New OEM F150 Fog Light Buckets and Lenses (OEM Chrome finish)
9006 connectors (plug 'n play)
Options xbALED Angel Eyes; amber
Mini wire harness for upper and lower xb LED angel eyes
