Is there a way to keep the light on the back of the cab that shines over the bed on? its turns on when i open the doors, but it would be nice to be able to leave it on when im getting stuff out of the bed at night. If it matters the truck is an 08screw

 

if you leave the lights on, using the switch for that, it will stay on. the switch is the same that controls the dim of the lights in the panel. turn it until it clicks

 

The dimmer **** that controls/adjusts your dash lights and turns on the cabin lights also turns on the light you're talking about. Just rotate it all the way up until it clicks, and the light will stay on. So will the one inside your truck - they operate together.

 

I am pretty sure that when you use the dash dimmer and go full brightness then past the detent to turn on the interior lights that the bed light comes on too.

thank you all for the help

 

And your owners manual will confirm this!
