They lights are much better than shown above. they produce a lot of light even with the Rhino linning not reflecting any light at all. Very good and highly recommended!

More pics tmrw in the light

They ran the wires under the rails(obviously), then under my tool box, through the two holes on each side of the bed(facing the cab), then inbetween the bed and the cab, then into what appears to be the frame on the right side of the truck.

Confusing ill get pics next time i get home and its light.

forgot to mention. They just used the adhesive on the back of each set of LEDs. It seems like they will hold for a long time, especially since they are protected by the rail, but when this summer comes in afraid that the adhesive will just melt. The light that is produced is very good and the third brake light might as well be removed since the light from it is horrible, it is halogen, compaired to the LED strips. In the future ill order the Recon 3rd brake light and it will look real good, hopefully ill buy this soon since mine has a gashing hole in the top of it .

i have no idea were this one is taken from.



This appears to be were the wires are ran into the cargo lights and interior lights. This is under the rear passengers door.



very blurry, but this is the same pic as above just on the drivers side.



The wire inbetween the cab and the bed.



IF you can get any idea of they way the wires are running you are special. They wiring should be a breeze for anyone with any talent at all.

Thats not the same spot, the pic that you posted, as the one where the wires are running.

If you look under the cab there are three similar pieces to the grey piece with the small hole, in the pic above. The wires are running to the end of the truck about 8-10"'s from the 3rd metal piece near the rear wheels.

Hope that made any since at all.

Oh any thanks for making me run outside with my laptop in shorts and crawl on the ground.lol

There isn't any need to run a switch unless you don't want the cab lights on aswell. Just use the interior light dimmer switch to turn it on and off.
