    Oh was that what it was for? See, I knew it was for one of the kits, but couldn't remember which one.

    Also known as the camping life.

    Yeah the bed light kit should have the waterproof switch. I'll take a picture of where I mounted the hood switch. No drilling necessary either! For the bed light I mounted mine in the AC outlet cubicle. I'll take pics too :thumbsup:

    There's other places to mount the hood switch but I wanted a easy place to get to in complete darkness.

    I have my bedlight switch in the bed storage cubby. Protects it and keeps it from getting hit when I am hauling mulch, dirt, wood, bricks, etc. It can be a bit of a PITA when I have to remove the cover to turn them on or off, but that is the trade-off.

    I've yet to decide where to put mine. The future bed and drawer platform will influence the final installation location.

    Because opening a fucking door to the truck and pushing a button for lights in the bed is hard...
