    DIY'd some LEDs for the Diamondback a few weeks back. Finally installed them last weekend.

    Some LED strips I placed in an aluminum channel with a plastic diffusing panel powered by 3 AA batteries. For now this does what I need. Down the road I may consider hard wiring if I feel the need.


    Used 3M tape to adhere to the underside of the bed cover.


    Some shots in the dark. It looks more blue on camera than in person. I used bright white LEDS.


    MESO map lights arrived today and got them installed.

    No, it comes with all the hardware needed. The locking hardware is an option and believe they are security torx bolts, but don't quote me on that.

    I'll have a set of V5s for sale once I decide which color route I'm going.

    I usually get double meso items for repair and LED burnouts. I travel with a box of spare parts for a quick on the go fix. That and the resale is always there.

    I was debating ordering both myself so I can pick and choose whenever I feel like it. But I forgot to enter the TW discount so I’m kinda glad I didn’t

    Your truck's not a 2020? You switched to the 2020 grill. Looks good. I actually do like the cheese grater (not necessarily better) when it's blacked out. Never had to clean/dry one though.
