I can't figure it out

It's pissing me off that i can't figure out how to turn on the rear led's in the bed. I've searched, bla bla bla. All i can find is aftermarket stuff that looks identical, but these came factory. Anyone?

(Picture is from google)

 

Is there a small button by the bed outlet?

 

lol

 

If it was preinstalled it's wired to the cargo light switch on doublecabs. I believe it's wired to your dome circuit if it's an access cab

 

They should have done it right and made it turn on when gate is opened.

 

When you figure it out. Can you tell us how much light it makes. I am interested in getting two of those.

 

That's how I wired mine

 

I like your bottle opener

 

write up and parts list sir?

 

No button, no inside switch, no clue, what the fuck?!

Unless they are broken, they are not turning on. The dealer didn't even know. It's a brand new truck so I am at a dead end here...

 

warranty that shit

 

I wonder if the installer forgot to wire the lights.

 

like how they forget to fill the transmission and grease the zerks?

 

Those would have been installed at the Dealer. But ya.

 

I was trying to make a joke about toyota's terrible quality control on the 3rd gens but oh well lol

 

That's what I was thinking. I tried everyway possible with the cargo switch and nothing. Was hoping someone would chime in and say there's a button by the muffler or some shit

 

I was trying to make a joke about the terrible quality control that most dealerships have.

Wired to 7.5A fused circuit to Battery. Purpose is when driving with tailgate down with a full load.

 

So yours didnt come with them? I see a bunch of 2nd gen write ups on the aftermarket ones, but mine came with it??

 

I have those lights and they come on with the bed light over the rear window.

Is that bed light turning on when you unlock the doors or turn the switch on in the cab? If so and these aren't, someone f'd up.

I find the bed lig doesn't come on when you open or unlock the drivers door make sure the switch in the cab isn't turned off.
