Tacoma Bed Light Kits

Be sure to check your fuse as well just in case. Also if anyone else is having the issue with needing more wire, let me know and I can get more shipped out to you.
As of now still waiting for install pics from the 9 kits that have been sent out.

 

Finally have a 2 day weekend coming up.... hopefully I'll be posting some pics for you. Still TBD though cuz it's my wife's birthday and my availability is dependant on what she wants to do. Sorry it's taken so long....

 

It happens. Take your time.

 

I will hopefully be getting them on today, on opting for a half day today at the office since we are slow, so I'll keep you posted.

 

Cool. Still waiting on my order of double sided tape to make more kits. Hate waiting so long. I guess in the mean time I'll male the new thread. Stay tuned

 

So here is where I put the hole to feed the wire through.



Upper right corner is where it comes in from and you can see from the butt splice location its about 18" short



All wired up, just need to pop the switch in the cubby and loom it up. Right now I'm waiting on my new battery tray (should be here tomorrow) so I can put the new battery in and then finish up the install. Can't wait!

 

Its getting there. Also sorry for the inconvenience for needing more wire

 

No big deal. Cut, strip, crimp, repeat.

 

Good thing I added more connectors. Lol

 

Since I have a tonneau cover, I located my switch on the side the bed rather than inside the pocket. I also ended up soldering the connections to the switch and using heat shrink to give it some added protection.


Here is a shot of where I drilled my hole under the rail.


Battery connections. I plan on coming back later to solder and heat shrink these connections as well.


I went ahead and just put the wire inside the loom before I ran it to help protect the wire a little better that piecing it together afterwards.
Shown here is where I dropped the wire down from the engine bay through the wheel well.




Dipped back inside the frame.




Where I went around the gas tank.




Back side of rear wheel.


Last point of the frame before going to the switch.

Finished product looks awesome! Tried to get it as dark as possible in the shop.

:Woot: glad you liked it

 

Interested in a kit for my LB as im putting my tonneau cover on this weekend and it would be great to see under it without flipping the whole thing up. Is there a how-to? I didn't have time to read through the thread

 

.

 

Lmao. I don't like giving out the how to unless a kit is bought. If people don't like it, I'm sorry but I can answer any questions you ask. Also if you see Pistol Pete's photos its basically how you run your wires

 

Paid Monday evening.
At my door Thursday
Can't wait to install.
Thanks again!

 

Received yesterday afternoon, installed it this afternoon. Took about an hour to install and looks great, I followe pistol Pete and rain the shrouded wire in tandem all the way back. The wire ran very nicely and I zip tied it periodically along the way back. I had about 3 feet of extra wire and shroud. I used the extra shroud in the corners of the bed. My iPad is being a pain to post pictures so ill post a couple now and the rest later.

 

Here is the switch

 

I had about 3ft left too. I used the excess in the corners as well. Looks very clean.

 

Here are the first pictures, Running the wire down the firewall into the wheel wall and along the frame with the existing wiring loom.
