Installed Some Under Bed Rail Lights

[Z7What]

I bought two 4' flexible LED rope lights a while back on ebay. I really kinda forgot that i had them. Today i decided to install them.

I bought two 4' lengths of 3/4" aluminum angle and some double sided tape.

First i started by double sided taping the light rope to the angle stock. I measured and centered them on the and drilled some holes. I then tapped them for some allen headed button head stainless bolts and then simply wired them to my dome light. What ya think?

Heres a video!

That'd be handy as hell for hunting. Too many times my brother and I have changed clothes out in the field, and tried to gather everything up in the dark.

Need a how-to and parts list.

your bed is too clean and scratchless.

That would be cool to have on my truck, but honestly I would break them.

Even though I have like 8 hooks in my bed, I would still put a tie-down through those...

I have been wanting to do some in the corners though, but just singles.

Looks really nice. I like how you cant even see them when looking in the bed till they are on

Looks good man. I had been thinking about doing that. Where did you run the wire into the cab at?

It will look real good lighting up my bedcage...

If you look on the passenger side cab floor from underneath you will see a rubber grommet. I ran it through that!
