    Under the hood lights that comes on when the latch is disengaged. That way you can see your whole engine bay at night. Another place that should have a light is the glove compartment. Those are two places I think definitely need lights, and I think you've covered upgrading all the other lights on the vehicle.

    I saw these in a co-workers Jaguar (Land Rover? hmmm, now I can't remember...anyway)...I thought these would look cool. With your skills, this would be an afternoon project. Maybe some ability to have color change control (just for a bit of a challenge)

    Lights to go inside the rear seat backs that fold down? I know I could use lights back there. I cram so much junk in the back of my double cab.

    This may be obvious @mesojdm, but do you already have rock lights?

    Personally, I'll vouch for the Opt7 floorboard kit. I dropped them in and wired them to the door switch so that they turn white when the door is open and then fade to whatever preset. I leave them on red as a default and they work perfectly with your red map/dome lights. (Thanks, Meso!)

    And then for just a real quick "upgrade" done in literally 5 minutes, I swapped out the vanity lights for 6000K whites for if I actually need white light for some reason. I basically have 2 directional spotlights in cab now. The girlfriend loves it for putting her makeup on while I'm driving.

    I did this on my 2010 raptor, with the add on ford remote start, yes that worked, but as soon as the key got 2mm for the key cylinder the engine shut off. don't know about push start how that would react.

    I have a 4 wheel camper semi-permanently installed on my 3rd gen. It gets distracting when the 3rd brake light reflects off the camper front exterior and rear interior. This has to also be an issue to guys that have tents/camper shells as well. Maybe some kind of 3rd brake light that can be disabled and allows for radio frequency/bluetooth connection to a remotely installed 3rd brake light. I am open to ideas that expound on this or solve this issue (I know I could easily disconnect it).

    put a switch in-line with the truck 3rd brake light so you can toggle it on/off from the cab

    Id like the side fender markers and three high top lights in the third brake light. Like the raptor has.

    The stock roof rails could use forward facing markers in white and red to the rear. Maybe you can even fit some spot lights in the plastic covers.

    Also forward and side facing spot lights in the mirrors might look cool.

    Illuminated shifter, cupholders, door pockets and so on.

    Interior but not regarding Leds:
    Another idea is Audi style air vents for the interior. They have a very good air distribution. And look really cool.

    One more idea for the gashole: newer cars from skoda (check Republic) have a ice scraper stored behind the gas door. I always thought that is a great idea.

    I also did this but I chose warm white LEDs. Not quite as bright but looks more natural.
