Bed lights

Installed my new "OEM" bed lights....thank you Lexus of North Miami.

I did modify the way I hooked them up. Per the instructions they will come on and off with dome light and/or when the door is open. I didn't like that and wanted complete independent control of the lights, even if the truck was not running. I could've used an AAF link in the fuse panel, but it was just as easy to run a fused lead from the battery. I bought a couple of older OEM rocker switches a couple of years ago to use on a project on my '13 Taco that I never got a around to. So I just used one of them to control the lights.

Switch in the off position.



Switch in the on position and lit up.

 

That's a really clean looking setup. I installed a switch in the bed so I could turn them on and off back there also.




Here is what I did because I had a softopper the install afforded some different avenues.
