    Currently I have short bed kits completed. Tonight I will make a pair of long bed kits.

    As they are LEDs, probably literally days.

    I ran 3 of these LED's on a small 9v battery (the ones we use in the smoke detectors) for over 3 weeks straight.

    when you say 3, do you mean 3 strips, or literally 3 individual LEDs?

    I want to buy your kit but I'm not an electrical person. Is there any way you can send me your instructions so I can see if this is something I could do by myself? I've seen mod posts about how to do all this, but just wondering what I'd be required to do since you take care of a lot of it by building the kit for me!

    Matt, I am new to this forum but have been subscribing to different mods. I am extremely interested in this mod. You have been doing a great job on this mod great detail and pictures. I would like to do this kit but my financial situation will not allow me to purchase it from you. I was hoping I could get a materials list from you and the instructions so I could possibly perform this mod. If this is an issue just let me know and thanks for the consideration. I would also like the materials list and instructions please.

    I believe it was three strips. When you buy the kit he will send you the instructions. Very easy to follow. You will have no problem. The wiring portion will take about 30 min. To run then wire and connect. If you run into a snag he will help you. You will not regret getting them

    Ordered and received my light kit within a day! I just installed today, took about 30 minutes. Instead of the toggle I used a door jamb switch so the lights come on when I open the tailgate. Awesome kit Matt. Thanks again.

    Love to hear that! Trying to convince the world there is better lighting one car at a time!

    The way the projectors light up the road is amazing, I will never drive with stock halogen headlights again. Ow and the beautiful sharp cutoff line, love it!
