    LED Bed Lights, Black Grill.
    Today I finally had some time and the right tools at hand to install my LED bed lights i got from @mattgecko . I am pretty new to wiring and such, but the kit he sells has everything you could possibly need including detailed instructions. I installed them on the ceiling of my camper shell using some extra velcro i got at the hard ware store, and it only took a couple hours to complete. Definitely a good deal:bananadance:

    Are you still happy with your Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs?

    I'm installing mine tomorrow and wondering if you have any feedback/tips on install and use...

    I bought them to level out back end which is sagging a bit due to adding a Leer truck cap...

    Thank you.

    does anyone have a part number for these switches? My Toyota parts room is staffed by employees that could care less about helping a customer.

    I don't know about his, but I have aftermarket switches that look like that. Mine came with my heated seat kit but I'm sure you could find the switches on ebay or aliexpress

    Opened one up today and it looks like the ground wire might only be for the LEDs. I don't have a bench to test on, but it seems to make sense to me. Any electronics gurus want to have a look and make a better educated guess? If I wired the switch ground to the dash light - wire, would these dim with the other lights in the cab? Both would dim at the same time, I assume, right?

    Correct, the ground is just for the Leds. You can wire it to the nearest variable ground.

    Need more...
    Well after making and replying to some threads with not a lot of feed back thought maybe you guys could help out, my 20 inch curved light bar came and I know how to wire it to my light bar and battery but where I'm lost is how to do it into my truck oem switches? My first problem is that the switch they sent me (the one with the metal prongs) that goes to the harness doesn't fit so I ordered a mic tuning switch (the one that has the green connector) that fits in those spots but idk how to wire that one to fit my light bar and also where to put my switch as my spots are all taken up? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
