    Here's a few pics of my bed light install. I used the wally world tractor lights because I liked the way they looked mounted into the bed cubby. Its also nice that they are $10 each.

    Before I put the lights in, I ran a length of 10ga. wire to the drivers side bed compartment and installed a weather resistant fuse block back there. I mounted a small fuse block in one of these cool weather tight boxes we have at my work. I also got the switch from my work... its a 3 position... off/1 light/2 lights. I really like how it all came together.

    I really want to get a fuse block right now cuz i've got so much stuff hooked up to my battery leads that I'm embarassed to drop it off at Toyota if it needs some service that i can't do...

    thanks guys... I ended up needing them the first night I installed the lights. This is a great mod. I was able to do it like the others here... for about $23. I get all my wire and stuff for free from work. Believe it or not... John Deere charges $48 for that light switch...lol.
