    Brand new.
    well they could be wired into the door module so when you open the door the lights go on , but figuring that out is another thing.

    Hey, been following this page for a while.
    I have a cap on my truck (6ft bed) and occasionally sleep/camp in there. Would the warm white be a better option in my case? I don't need to be blinded back there and not quite sold (yet) on the white/red combo.
    Would also be looking to bundle with the hood kit, I think the cool white would be awesome there, I feel like I'm never quite in the right spot in my garage to get good light in there.

    edit: now seeing the combo comes in a "pure white". Being a combo kit, is it the same total number of LEDs, but halved between the white and red, making each color less intense/bright than the single color kits?

    The combo lights are are halves but are the same brightness as the single color LEDs.

    Good to know, thanks. Can you comment on my warm vs cool light question? Have you gotten feedback on whether cool white be too bright/jarring in the middle of the night? Or maybe the red/white combo would be ideal for that?

    Its all personal preference. Dimmers ($6) can be adder to the lights as all of the lights are bright. 00 CW vs WW.jpg dual3.jpg

    You mentioned a dimmer, how do I add that to my cart on your website? I too wanna install this in my bed for camping with my softopper, not utility purpose so a dimmer is a great addition. Thanks.

    Sorry dual color is only available with 5000k white / red. I can make a kit that has 2 different light sets, 1 warm white and 1 red LEDs.

    Finished! 6’ warm bed lights plus soft topper addition plus dimmer. Wonderful product! Easy install and managed to secure all wires clean behind the taillight. Thx Matt gecko!

    Ya man! Super happy. Only 2 suggestions would be offer the dimmer without having to source from Amazon and make the soft topper wires a bit longer. I'll post some night shots when I've got em'
