Default Bed Lights

I'm need to put lights in the bed of my Screw. I have an ARE Fiberglass tonneau cover, so the cargo light is pretty useless. I'm looking for feedback from anyone who has bed lights. There seems to be quite a range of prices, and I'm not sure what the differences are in them.

Also, I was thinking of putting a switch on my dash to turn them on, but someone suggested putting the switch near the tailgate so I can just turn them on when I need them. Any suggestions or comments? Any pictures?

Thanks!

I would say go with some of those led rolls...pretty cheap and they can stick wherever you want them. Thats what I plan on using in my tool box and in the bed...

I got a led strip off of ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Warm-White-5M-60leds-M-3528-SMD-LED-Strip-Lights-300led-12V-24W-Non-Waterproof-/181079424014?pt=US_Car_Lighting&hash=item2a292cbc0 e) and stuck it to the inside of the cap.



Provides Good Light
