Considering doing some bed lighting.. which lights and the best way to get 12V?

Decided I might like some bed lights. I’ve seen a few write ups, but really haven’t seen the best place to hook up to 12V. I expect to run it all the way to the engine compartment, but id prefer to do a quality install if it’s not too challenging. Is there an empty spot in the fuse box? Should I use a relay?

On the lights.. what is everyone using? I’ve seen some use the “position pods”, but I fee like I prefer the ribbon lights under the bed rail. I’ve mostly only found cheap Amazon ones though.. are people having luck with those?

 

I bought these a feww weeks ago but have not installed them yet. They were on sale at the time and the price was right to take a chance.

Oh dude, that’s exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks!

 

@mattgecko

Full kit, great instructions, great service.

 

Agree with the above, get the Gecko kit and be done. Great quality at a fair price.

 

I’m glad, it’s on order!

 

Also a bump for Matt Gecko.
Great instructions and pre-wired.

You can go the cheaper route and buy a set and just make your own if you're inclined but its all in a set already and hes done all the work!

 

Mattgecko LED strips are awesome!
