    Hi Matt
    I have a 2014 Tacoma and I'm interested in your hood light kit only. Can you send me a picture and install instructions of the kit? I don't even know what they look like. I'm ready to buy today. Thanks

    Finally plan on doing my hood light kit from you this weekend! Looked under my hood tonight and the instructions seem to be more so to the 2nd gen. Anyone have photos or a quick break down of how they ran the wires on the 3rd gen to hide them, or are most people just leaving it exposed on the bottom side of the hood?

    Installed the LED bed light kit. Super easy install. All necessary parts included and simple instructions. Didn't even have to remove my Softopper to install.

    I'll be putting a set of these in my shell when it finally arrives. Has anyone ever added a timer to the wiring harness or switch? With them being wired to a constant hot, I like the idea of some kind of count down timer. Maybe 30 minutes and then auto-off?

    I finally found a 3rd bed rail (you would not believe how hard it was to get one on Guam) so I set aside a few hours today to knock this out. The install was stupid easy except for routing the hot under the truck, but even that wasn't difficult. I took my sweet time and even put the wire in some wireloom and it took all of 3 hours.

    I picked warm white for both the hood lights and bed lights.




    This is the ONLY thing I'm mad about and it's 100% my fault. I drilled this about 1/4in further in than I originally intended. I even pulled the outlet and cubby out to make sure I got it right. Drill bit slipped and dinged the screw and plastic. I might swap the switch to a flip-type later on when I seal the cubby box.

    I have a Silverado with a 5'9" bed and am interested in a kit for it since I think they're a better kit than most out there. How long are the side rail lights? I have to measure up the bed to see if they will fit. Thanks! Also wouldn't mind seeing the install instructions as I may convince a friend to buy a kit at the same time.

    Have you ever done a reverse light kit for anyone? Something that would go in between the tailgate and bumper (red box on image below). Do you think that would throw out enough light to add anything useful when backing up, or would it be too floody?

    If it would work, a strip with a black PCB would help it blend in better.

    I've been trying to find a way to add extra light in the rear without hanging anything below the bumper. The plan would be to operate it with a switch in the cab through my RTMR fuse/relay panel.
