    Hello all!

    I've recently purchased a Snugtop Hi-Liner for my '10 Tacoma 5ft bed, I was curious how you all found the best way to put up light's inside the shell? I currently have purchased some LED light strips off Amazon that came with a wiring splitter, switch and is basically ready to wire together. I was mainly seeing if you think the adhesive on the back of the strips will suffice on a carpeted shell or should I drill some clips into the shell to hold the lights on better?

    awesome! I'll definitely try the Velcro, I assume you just put the adhesive sides together from the lights to the velcro and just used the sticky velcro side with the carpeting?

    definitely Velcro on the back of the strips. Will stick great to the carpet.

    I used the long LED ribbon, but with haveing no carpet had to rig up a mount system with perforated metal flat pieces mounted to the window screws.
