    Interested in a kit for a 2016 long bed. Went to the website, but wasn't seeing any products under the product section. Any chance you can PM a price breakdown and installation instructions? Thanks!

    Sorry about the website, I need to have a little chat with GoDaddy about it not occasionally loading correctly.

    I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere in the previous 50 pages but I can't sort through it all. Is it possible to wire these into the bed light near the 3rd brake light? I'd like these to come on with that, I'd prefer that over a separate switch.

    I believe the answer goes something like, It can be done but Matt is not going to be liable for truck catching on fire if you draw to many amps over existing wiring.

    Very close. I'm not worried about over amping, just someone that wires something incorrectly causing a factory wiring short and wanting to hold me liable.

    I have had my bed lights wired directly to my interior lights with no relay and no problems for years.

    I understand that Matt. Could you say if it would it be similar to this installation? These are for the bed lights that some dealers install, part number 00016-34089. There are some PDF instructions there for Tundras and 2nd gen tacomas, but I would think I could figure out the similarities enough to make it work?

    may I ask for wiring instructions as well for a DCLB? Please and thank you. im curious about the drilling for the switch and getting into the fuse box (under hood or interior) and how that relates to all the other lights I have installed.

    Got to put my bed light kit to use this past weekend. Got to the campsite around 10pm and the lights made unpacking a helluva lot easier.

    Couldn’t be happier!

    Has anyone tried to 3 way the bed rail lights with a switch inside the cab as well as the one mounted in the bed?
