    Less glaring in my opinion, but the bright white does pop more.

    Got these installed. Thanks! I opted for one under each bed bar, so when the bed has camp stuff in it, it still shines down some light into things like the coolers, etc. My helper managed to pull off one of the adhesive strips from the first bed bar (admittedly, it may not be super obvious to everyone how that backing is supposed to come off the adhesive). It's still sticking under there w/o any problems though. Hopefully it hangs on.
    Otherwise, drilled some holes in the bed bar's base to run the wires a little more cleanly. THey're practically all hidden at this point.

    I do concur... emphasis on the less glaring.

    Just ordered bed + softopper lights. Been putting off this purchase for a LONG time but with a camping trip coming up in a week and a half I'm hoping I can get these installed and test 'em out.

    Got my bed/softopper LED strips installed a couple weeks back right before a camping trip. These lights are GREAT. Super helpful to have extra light in the bed.

    Forgot to update this, but I reached out to Matt and met up with him locally. He was gracious enough to demo a few options for me and I was on my way. Install was a breeze with the precut LED strips and wiring. The only issue I had was with the self-tap screw for the frame. The tip would just grind down and I ended up with a blunt tip. I ended up drilling a small hole and using a bolt/nut instead for the ground. From complete darkness to this amazing amount of light in the bed now. Thanks again!

    I do make the under cab lights but don't provide the wiring instructions.
