Awhile ago my dad installed some courtesy lights in our boat and since he put them in I have been looking for some to put in my truck bed, well finally found some that wouldnt cost over 100 bucks to do.

Getting four of THESE to mount under the rails in the bed, red in color so that there not too bright and give a custum look.

And getting four of THESE in red, 2 for inside the toolbox, and 2 to go under the hood.

Hopefully I can get them before the weekend and have them installed by sunday, not sure how im wiring them up yet but plan on having them on at least 2 different switches so that I can turn the underhood and bed ones seperately.

 

Awesome! I would like to do the same as well eventually, but with all white lights. That little bulb under the hood just doesn't cut it at night.

 

man i put lights in my tool box,,, one of the best things i did to my truck

 

Lights in your toolbox? Got pics?

Just out of curiousity did you ever consider using the Recon LED lights? Like Big Rig and Line of Fire?? I hear they are supposedly easy to install, and you can wire them right to your switch.

 

 

That is sweet!

 

Nice Dodgeram07 looks clean and I hope mine will be too when Im done its just a waiting game now, freaking sucks waiting on parts

Anybody got a suggestion on wire size, should be pretty small right there only led lights, also any suggestion on what to hold up the wires in the bed and hood

 

i just used 18 gauge because i have alot of it, also yours are LED so they use less power

 

Well I'm a little less than halfway done with it...the leds came in the mail this morning and when I got off work I started on the install, the the lights are mounted to inside lip of the bed with rivets, and I just need to put some wire to them and mount the switch

 

Its been a week but I finally got it finished, been stuck between work, school and rain and been driving around with it all wired except for power too them

The underhood leds were pretty easy and I stole the power from the underhood light, the bed and toolbox were a little harder and I ended up getting power from the fuse block, setup disconnects behind the drivers side tail light so that I can undo them to take the bed off, the toolbox is getting the same disconnects when I feel like messing with it.

Picture of one side, camera is my new phone so the picture is a little darker than in person.
