    No experience with the LED Cargo Bed lights YET! Just ordered a set, they are not available here on the west coast but are on almost "ALL" of the trucks i saw on my last visit to San Antonio. They are wired into the interior lights, come on with the dome lights. Very nice if you have a tonneau cover!. Will update after i install them!

    Many of us love @mattgecko under bed rail lighting. Full kit, easy install, great instructions.

    Does it cost a bit more than assembling parts yourself?

    Most likely. But in this case, for me, it was worth it.

    Building and installing The led strip bedlighting "mod" is very..very basic. :notsure:
    I did front grill led's , footwell lighting (glovebox, console ect..) underhood lighting and the bed lights all for the price of One premade kit. :anonymous:
    One of the easiest mods I have done.
    Tied with plastidip badges:thumbsup:

    Got a how-to/write up with the parts and install process? That would be more helpful than just telling us that you did all of that cheaper than the pre-made kit.

    It's really simple. Read through that write up...Then do some ebay searching.
    I used solder on some stuff and Quick connectors on others..remote controller ect..depending on your situation.
