    Has anyone figured out how to run chase lights to the bed outlet. That way I can just use the outlet switch to turn them on and off? Thanks!!

    i mean well outside of my skill set, but standard house current converted down to a 12v likely wouldn't be super tough but well outside of what id know how to do

    So you're looking for a 120v A/C strobe light with low amp draw?

    Basically I was planning on running two BD S2 on my shells rack. But I was wondering if it’s possible to just run the wiring to the outlet using some sort of adapter. (Have zero knowledge of watts and wiring) and it seems a lot easier than running wires to the battery and setting up a new switch.

    nah, other way around switch at dash, power lead from battery to switch, ground at the switch to frame, a ground for the lights and a power lead from the lights to the dash mounted switch.
