    best way is personal opinion. I do not want to have to drop my tailgate just to get the lights to come on. As far as cleaning I cleaned my rails several times and still had problems. I ended up using the 3M tape. I hope your lights last longer than mine did.

    Ordered one of this from Ebay. Yes, it's 65$ plus shipping but I'm more into that factory look. And from what I read those stick on LED strips tend to come off.

    Should be coming in today. If you're interested follow the link that tomwil posted regarding this kit.

    I installed the 2 8" Shoreline submersible LEDs on Saturday. I much prefer these to the strip. I wish I had done this originally. When I pulled the strip it had yellowed even more that I thought. Now I am sure the plastic will dull on the Shorlines but replacement might take 5 minutes. I drilled holes behind them and all the wire are concealed behind the bed liner.

    Here are the 8" Shoreline submersible that I used to replace the flex strips. May add 2 to other side.

    Shameless self promotion ... check out our Better Bed Light solution here (there are a lot more photos).

    we have a unique solution, the lights are fully adjustable and they are very bright.

    Same here. I just ordered them in eBay too. I found them for 59$ free shipping. Still not sure if I will go with an dedicated push switch (installed in truck's bed); or going the original connection using the harness provided.

    order a stip of LEDs on Amazon, why cheaper. I was able to do the whole bed, then center council and then even under the front hood. Saved a ton of money. came out less then half of what someone sells on there as kits
