    Matt, I'm interested in the digital instructions for a 2020 Tacoma with the 5 ft bed. Please.
    Excited about this project.

    Thank you.

    Expedition Essentials TPAM with wiring cover. Warm White LED Hood Lights (Matt Gecko) Warm White LED Under Bed Rail Lights Red LED Under Bed Rail Lights Overland Equipped Auxiliary Power Box (Aluminum mount, 100 amp Breaker, Blue Sea Systems 12-circuit fuse block, Positive and Negative Battery Leads) DiamondBack HD Tonneau Bed Cover
    20200330_134218.jpg 20200330_134237.jpg Installed Mine Sunday! Very happy with the product and the results!

    First, installed the Under Hood Lights (without connecting to battery)
    Second, installed an Overland Equipped Auxiliary Power Kit (aluminum frame/platform, 100 amp breaker, 12-circuit Blue Sea Systems (BSS) fuse block, leads to + / - battery terminals, bolts, and install instructions)
    Third, installed warm white bed light kit AND Red bed light kit, and ran power to BSS accessory fuse block.
    Fourth, attached hood light kit to BSS accessory fuse block.
    Then--was finally able to test the Hood lights, then the bed lights.
    --SUCCESS!!!!!!!!

    Then, Monday AM, installed Diamondback HD Tonneau cover...thus, the NEED for the bed lights.

    Overall Extremely Happy with all of the above products (though the OE Kit could use a small re-design to eliminate interference with other underhood equipment/wiring)

    I received my set the other day and can't install until I get the Velcro I ordered so I can attach on my camper shell. Can't wait!

    My camper shell is a Snugtop and has the USB ports in the back on the driver side. I already ran a wire to the battery for the USB ports, my question is can I just splice into that using the fuse tap? The USB box has fuses already, but I would be splicing before the fuses and there is no fuse before the battery. Im planning on just installing the toggle switch on the driver side since all wiring will be on that side.

    Yes you can use an existing wiring run as long as its 20 gauge or bigger and there is an in-line fuse (directly connected to the battery) rated at 5 amp or less.

    Great, thanks! I think I'll just install the inline fuse at the battery then and splice the lights at the rear. Easy install!

    The one who dies with the most stuff wins.
    Hey Matt I have your lights installed on the underside of my bed rails since I used to have a tonneau cover. I've since moved to a cap, and I want to add more of your lights to the roof of the cap and tie them into the same switch and wiring that my existing lights use. Is this possible?
