Default New LED Truck Bed Lights installed

I finally installed these LED truck bed lights that I got for Christmas. They are sweet, very bright. I'd prefer 3500K color to match my modified high mount LED cargo lights, but they only come in 5000K.

Wired them into the cargo light harness in the 3rd brake unit.
Drilled a few holes in the bed of the truck and down low in the back of the cab. Ran the wires thru the interior, tucked it under the molding trim. There are already holes to feed the wires from the interior to the 3rd brake compartment. Pretty easy install. The cold temp outside was the hardest part of the job.

That ought to light up the bed! Are they mounted so they don't get crushed?

Thanks. Yes they are flat and up high enough that nothing should bother them.

The rope light is a good way to do it too, probly tuck under the rail better.

i just have to make up my mind on exactly what i want to do. i think i might have a bit of a toss up between the white lights and the multi color lights i have. both are pretty cool.
