    The lowered rails are no problem. Does any part of the clamp touch the bottom of the rail? You only need less than 1/4" of an inch to slip the LED strip in.

    I am interested in the camper shell light kit for my long bed.
    Can a dimmer be added into the system?
    Also, can you send me the install instructions to see what it takes to get setup?
    Thanks

    Thanks Matt, got mine on and working and found a spot that that pin switch does work (no drilling).

    I looked at your website and was wondering if you made any custom lights that could change colors for the bed?

    Your product looks awesome and I hope to order soon for a long bed. A couple of questions for you. I am undecided on the soft topper light strips (which I assume is also used for a hard topper as well) as it seems the bed rail kit should provide plenty of light with a topper installed. The bed rail lights must be directing more light downwards towards my sleeping platform, but given the confined space and their perceived output, they appear to provide plenty of light. Your thoughts? Is everyone with a topper just buying the additional light strips?

    Also, I have read through most of the pages and I thought I read the remote does let you control the brightness or output of the lights?

    Your welcome to PM me a picture of your bed setup and I will provide a recommendation.

    Yes remote will allow you to on/off, dim and strobe the lights.

    How do the hood lights hold up to the heat from the engine? Does the tape come off eventually? Seems like the heat would cause an issue

    I've had mine on for years, No problems.

    If the tape where to start failing, I could send replacement tape.

    Hey Matt,

    Just about to purchase a set for the bed and hood. Is there any type of warranty for these? Thanks!

    How was the install for these? Going to pick up the same set-up, but I have zero wiring experience... : /
