Bed lights for access cab

I bet the relay is already installed on the truck, mine was, and I ordered one like you so if anybody wants one
make me an offer I can't refuse LOL...

 

Hi,

Got my LED Bed Lights (Toyota OEM) installed today, went and ordered the needed Bed Light Switch (Toyota OEM), popped out the Switch Panel on the lower left of the dash, removed the blank off plate, and popped in the Switch. The relay switch is already there. The mating wiring plug for it is right below where the switch goes, in a dead socket. Pop it out from there, and into the switch. I turned it on, and voila the Bed Lights came on.

You can either have them come on w/the door lights, or simply do it manually, shutting them off when not needed, w/the positioning of the switch settings.

A very easy upgrade once you learn what is needed for the upgrade.

 

Thanks for posting up the switch info. I just got done putting the lights in and trying to figure out how to turn the lights on. Another part to buy - so that'll take these lights to $120 total for bed lights...

 

It's a cool mod to have and a great addition I really like mine too.

 

If you're buying the truck new, the bed lights are available as a port-installed accessory. The add-on price of them as a port-installed accessory is greater than the price of the bed light kit from the parts department. Seeing this, I opted to add them myself as a part. But, since I have the Access Cab, it turned out I needed the switch as well. I would have come out ahead with the port-installed accessory.

To sum up: If you have an Access Cab, go with the bed lights as a port-installed accessory. If you have the Double Cab, get them as a self-installed part. The cost of that switch (standard on Double Cabs, not present on Access Cabs) is more than the lights themselves.

 

Has anyone found an option for a center mounted cargo light that isn’t the MESO one?
(Apparently the ACs have the 2nd gen center brake light which is not the same shape/design as the 3rd gen making a retrofit impossible)
