    Take a video on your phone, get a free photobucket.com account and put the video on there. Then you can post it in here.

    I used my bedlights this weekend while camping. FUCKING EPIC!!!! It was 10 o'clock at night and i needed to use my bed plug in to pump up an air mattress. WAS KICKASS!!

    Hi all
    I just re-did my LED cup holder mod using the same LEDs that RAPR used (the 10pack...but i used orange) and I have one issue. The lights are kind of like small spot lights that shine a circular light on the surface they're pointed toward. That looks kind of ugly. Does anyone else have this issue?

    Do you have the flat wide angle LED's? I got those because they shine out instead of the pointed LED's that direct the light at one spot.

    I used blue LEDs in my three console cup holders (I have a 5 speed manual transmission). My lights come on with the ignition and do a great job lighting the cup holders.

    No..those are the "cone" ones.

    Here's the ones I bought:http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-x-LED-5m...040?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5ae79da188

    I love em....they are damn near flush when mounted and you can barely feel them in the areas I put them.

    With those other ones you have, you could always mount them behind your grille or inside the bed cubbies or something.

    That looks really good man! I wonder if it can be wired to a contact switch, so that when the tail gate is down, the lights go on???

    Thanks for all the good information.

    I figure if I open it up and find the image, I could remove it and then print out whatever image I want onto Overhead Transperacy Film and it should work.

    I gotta see this!! I'm guessing you would have to take the door apart and possibly drill into the bottom of the door for mounting?
