I am going to buy a bed top with intergrated bed lights

 

What he said. wont find a better product or deal

 

I have seen those was wondering if there is anything else out there.

 

I've been holding off buying mine because its been to hot here to install but I think I'm just going to stock the cooler and tackle this. How long did it take to install his kit?

 

I'm not very mechanical, so about 2 hours.
Matt provides AMAZING instructions though.

 

Matt is the man. Awesome product and even better customer service.

 

The Toyota accessory isn't bad.

 

what is the Toyota accessory does Toyota make bed lights for the tacoma

 

Back when the 2016 Tacoma was on the Toyota website they listed a LED bed light accessory kit. I took the part number to my dealer for ordering. He said it appeared to be a Tundra part but was certain his installer could make it work. He was correct. This item is probably the exact same thing .. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-2016-T...89-/361429603291?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

 

My truck came with these LED bed lights factory installed. They are on the window sticker as a port installed option by SE Toyota. They are coded as BU100 for the small price of $269. Lucky for me they were installed by mistake, so I didn't have to pay for them.

 

i got the OEM bed light. It light up just fine, nothing special

I too, have the Toyota distributor installed lights. Do what they are supposed to, but look kinda odd in daylight, like some kind of sensor or something. Definitely look aftermarket.Everyone who has peeked into the bed asks, what those things are...
No way in hell I'd pay the distributor add on list price of $259 tho.... well I guess I did, actually.

 

Ok just installed the bed lights. Took about 3hrs but I took my time running the wire to the engine compartment. the install is very easy hardest part is running the wire.
I got the remote works great. And the button works great. Matt shipped these right out and I had them in a couple of days. If you want bed lights this is the way to go.

Did you run the power wire from the engine bay under the cab along the frame rails? Or did you install through the cab?

 

I ran up the drivers side the hardest part is where the gas tank is I used a electrical wire snake to pass it thru then I went right up into the engine compartment and tied right into the battery. I did take of the compartment in the bed it made hooking up the wires easy and I just passed all the wire down.
