The Better Bed Light Story (with pictures for all you who hate reading)
Disclaimer: all the of the images below were taken with the prototype. There have been some small improvements made on the prototype so the product you receive will look like the images above.

I hated how my Tacoma didn't have any bed lights and I couldn't find a slick solution that I liked, so I created my own.



Everyone I show seems to love the design, so I decided to see if there would be enough interest for me to start building and selling them.

The Better Bed Lights (that's what I'm calling them) provide plenty of light to do anything you need behind or around your truck at night. Tasks such as seeing in the bed, backing up a trailer, working behind your truck, and spotting all those forest creatures in the woods is now much easier.



The Better Bed Lights are comprised of a bracket that mounts behind the stock cab brake light and holds two bright Cree led lights.

The wiring will be left up to you, you can see an example of wiring instructions with pictures for what worked best for me Here.

The first truck we tackled was the second gen Tacoma (2005-2015), but if there is enough interest I will be making this for all of the years. I want to build something that you will love, so your thoughts and opinions are well appreciated.

Now that is cool! Too bad I already have the LED strips on the three sides of my bed.

What if you have a camper shell? Just cutrious, would it work with the brake lights on those?

 

Thanks jaredc2306! This one was built to fit the stock second gen Tacoma cab light but down the road I hope to offer other configurations including truck caps and camper shells.

They would definitely be awesome on the back of a camper shell! Awesome idea OP!

 

Do you guys have a specific camper shell in mind?

 

No I don't personally, trying to decide on one

 

Looks like Short Circuit.

 

Pretty badass idea. SUBBED.

 

You say that like it's a bad thing

 

Not at all really ingenious idea.

 

I'm interested

 

So bad ass any price ideas?

 

You have peaked my interest. Price point? How did you install yours (wiring etc)

^what he said....

 

I am aiming to keep the price under $200 dollars. I should have a much better idea of what the final price will be in the coming weeks, I will be sure to update this thread with that information when i get it.

As you can tell from the pictures I have an access cab, the wiring was pretty straight forward and easy. I will be posting some pictures explaining how I did it. In general you just have to pop off a few plastic panels that have clips to get access behind them. The wires I ran go along the top of the back window, down the driver side and along the bottom of the door jam to under the fuse panel where I wired it to a switch in an empty slot.

Is there a way to hide the wires, more stealthy?

 

Let me know great idea.
