    Yes, I offer a the additional wiring and dual switch install instructions for $12. Note: Cab switch not included.


    Due to liability, none of my lighting products include instructions that tie into factory wiring.

    Install was really easy with very detailed instructions. Great mod, I can see in my bed now it was impossible with my bakflip cover on at night.

    I have spent lots of time and lots of money, but I could never get my bed lights to work properly. They would work one day, and not the next. I would replace wires, connections, etc, but nothing seemed to work. I bought my lights over 3 months ago and I am tossing in the towel. Matt has been very helpful through the process, but I am convinced I received a bad set of lights. Seems like I am the only one as everyone else in here had no issues and seems to love their lights.

    Probably a loose connection on the main bar receiving power first.

    I am happy to work with you as you know, if the lights are not working correctly PM me and we can troubleshoot the issue. You stopped Pming me so I assumed they were working.

    Bummer, must be a fluke as I have had his underhood lights for years and other products. I can also vouch for seeing him stand by his products over the years and help troubleshoot.

    Installed the cool LED bed lights in mine, and other taco trucks. Install is easy, and works great to see at night! Thanks @mattgecko and keep up the great work!

    Do/would you provide instructions on how to wire the bed lights using the cargo brake light switch?

    Edit: I saw a couple posts above, you dont wire into oem wires.

    @mattgecko thanks for the install instructions; placing order soon. Are the "warm white" LEDs still a bright white, rather than an incandescent yellow? I saw you mention the warm white is the brighter of the two white options, but I'd like to know more about their color.

    Edit: I saw the photo on your website with a side-by-side comparison of the two whites, but I don't trust photos to do the colors justice.
