    Matt,
    I'd like to get your bed lights but want to use a different switch. Do you know if this switch would work?

    Yes the Chris4x4 switch are the ones I recommend for the cab.

    Couple questions.
    1: Is it possible (easy) to activate the lights both from the bed switch AND a switchpro in the cab?
    2: Do you have any more pics of the lights with the softopper? I'm a little weary of having blinding lights above me at night if sleeping in the bed with the softopper on. I get that I can just unplug them but still curious.

    EDIT: Answered 1 for myself in post #1003. That's on me to figure out.

    A remote could be added to give you the ability to dim the lights.

    Matt, could you also send me instructions for the under rail lights for my 2006 Taco that I ordered today.

    Also would like: a pin switch for my tailgate; and extra wire and dual switch instructions for bed & cab switches.

    What a great product you offer. I've read all 54 pages piecing together the information I needed. Thanks to everyone who contributed.

    Oh, and happy birthday today !!! I'm probably the oldest person and female on this site! Age is a state of mind. xxxx

    Got my lights today, installed and nothing. I have to take another look over the weekend. I have a feeling the connections are the issue, I didn't have enough time to get the soldering iron out. I should have taken my time.

    Redo crimps and try to connect to an external battery. I had similar issue. Recently figured it out.

    I got out the soldering iron and fixed it up, the wires are super tiny coming from the LEDs.
