Default Lights in Bed (Under Rail)

If anyone has pics/info on what lights to use or how they did it, that would be great. I want lights tucked up under the bed rails so I can see under my roll up tonneau cover at night. I am having touble finding WHITE lights. I am looking for like Neon or LED or whatever. Thanks for the help.

EDIT: I did find these:

sweet man! I would like to see how bright those are when you are done. I am looking for useful light not for looks or anything. The ones you are using look like they are pretty bright. I would like to see pics for sure. How many 24" strips did you get?
Thanks

24cm lol...it would take a ton to do along the entire side, but i bet a pair up front and a pair at the rear would do what you are wanting

recon lights makes exactly what you are looking for. might not be as cheap as what you can find on ebay, but the quality will be top notch.

These would be long enough to wrap the 3 sides of the bed!

Scuba:

How bright were the 72cm strips? Was it enough light? I found 120cm on ebay too, but by the time you buy 3 of them at $15 a piece, you could buy this kit with the remotes:

Does anybody know if neons still work good in cold weather?

Pics would be cool! thanks
