    Matt, I got my under hood lights mounted. Working great. Perfect for finishing up work after the sun goes down or for working inside a garage. I have "off" and "on" pictures for comparison

    I found a grommet in a spare parts bin, so I laced the wire through one of the smaller holes in the hood. I also relocated the switch to the fender well in anticipation of rerouting the power through an auxiliary fuse panel to be mounted in the near future.20180708_221402.jpg

    Hey Matt,

    Do I have to pm you for the free shipping? In your first post it says $80 for short bed lights and that includes shipping. On your website its coming to $85.50 ($5.50 shipping).

    The answer to this may be somewhere in the previous 45 pages, sorry for asking again if it is. Can these bed lights be tied into the wires going to the existing cargo bay light above the rear window, or do they pull too much juice?

    Yes they can, I would recommend using a relay when wiring them that way.

    My bed kit shipped out on Friday and was delivered Monday! Got them installed and love them. Installation was a breeze. Here are a few pics.

    Sorry if been asked before. But if I install can I buy an extra switch to put on lower left panel? Or do I tie these into the overhead interior lights? Will be ordering from you soon but just trying to figure out how to setup.

    The bed light kit includes a bed mounted switch which is tied to the truck battery. I do have an option to add the cab mounted wiring and install instructions for $10 (cab switch not included).

    is the optional remote only for the bed lights? or is it for the hood lights also? and if you buy the remote would bed lights still work with the push button? and can you wire it into the switches on the interior of the vehicles or would i need soldering and extension of wiring?
