    See if whoever makes that light has a lense, would be a cheap route to start.

    Those are Cali-Raised Ditch Lights. I think I want to use them as ditch lights, and replace them with lower intensity lights for the bed.

    Not a bad idea, and I don’t think Cali makes a lense anyway, they have their designated 18W 3x2 amber pods.

    Could do some Rigid diffused lens lights and that should be better light dispersion and intensity

    Revamped my aux panel. Went with a powertray panel this time. Rebuilt a new RTMR since my old one was trashed trying to remove pins/wires after the eBay seller installed the pins backwards.

    I still have some work to do and tidying up but that’s enough electrical for one day.

    Ive tried and further away seems to work better. The phone mic tends to pick up all the air it's pushing and the mic is not tuned for anything other than voices.

    Just a suggestion, but you could probably clean up those two wires with fuses by only using one larger wire with a fuse and mounting a distribution block on the tray.
