    I did look in to it but felt they weren't the right lights for the job.

    I do LED pods wired to the reverse lights.

    Those are smaller pods that I've been able to find... do you sell them? Any specs and prices on them?

    Warning to anyone mounting the bed light toggle switch in the cubby that holds the power outlet. I had mounted my switch on the rear side of the box behind the tail light. Guess the first winter in NY was too much for it, corroded and failed on me. I'll be replacing the switch and finding a better way to protect it from the elements. Maybe seal it with some silicone.

    The switches are waterproof but for the folks in areas with harsh winters, it is a good idea to coat the body of the switch with liquid electrical tape or silicone.

    Another option is to mount the switch in the upper location, the switch is mounted behind the tail light and better protected.

    Please don't deter from working with Matt. I am completely happy with this product. Just wanted to note my experience with the very salty upstate ny winters. **

    3m tape or something similar. *No issues with mine. Just clean the applied area real well first.

    I add a high strength tape to the back of the light strips. The lights are automatically turned on/off when you pop the hood.

    The camper kit is the same cost as a regular kit with the exception I add a quick disconnect plug in a longer wire harness for no extra charge.

    If the underside of your shell is carpeted you will need to add velcro to the back of my light strips.
