    Awesome! Somehow I assumed that's what you did just based on the build. How did you go about wiring? Where did you tap the power wire? Did you use a relay? I'm wanting to wire bed lights the same way.

    Honestly, I ran the wires through the front of the bed, down under the truck, along the frame, up in to the engine bay, through the firewall, in to the fuse box.
    I know, it sounds like a pain in the ass. It was.
    But i had time on my hands that day and it was the best way to get them to work right without seeing any wires anywhere.
    I did this 3yrs ago and they're still working fine.

    I've read a couple people wire it a couple different ways to tap into the cargo switch. From what I've read the safest way is to use a relay. Just wanted to see how people are tapping the cargo light. Thanks!!

    Plus I think this is the cleanest way to wire bed lights. So it's worth the extra work
