    I do not have it lit when closed.

    I do sometimes forget to turn off the light when done.

    The tailgate is open but the diamond back over closed.

    When I have a tent on the cover or a snowboard mounted on the back the cover can't be open. That's when the light comes in super handy.

    ok, NOW I get it. That makes sense. I stuck a couple of push button lights on mine and only use them when open.

    We’re are you mounting the light on the diamond back cover? Are you manually turning on off with batter pack? We’re are you mounting the battery?

    They are held onto the cover using 3M dual hook velcro .

    On the cover closest to the tail gate cover there is a 45 degree bend that had the word diamond back on it . On the back side of that is where I have this velcroed .

    The battery is also velcroed to the cover and well .

    I wanted this solution so I can open and close the covers with no wires dangling down .

    In the next iteration I will be putting an online timer so if you forget to turn off the light it wont drain the battery .
