    A few mods here and there and counting....
    None. Run the wire all the way up to the battery via fuse box/inline fuse.

    How much light do they give off? Can you see much of the bed when on?

    I can see all of the bed pretty well when it is dark. they look meh if the sun is out, but after dark, under my
    black softtopper, they work great.

    I ran a wire all the way back from fuse box in engine compartment. I bought a roll on Amazon, and couple of connectors to connect the strips. Cost less then half of what some of the people charge with whole kits on here and I was able to do under hood, glove box and center console, with waterproof switch in back. Just order it yourself on amazon, trust me!
