My Custom Underhood & Bed Lighting
Thought I'd post some pics of a new mod I did last night, and a simple story about the addition to the bedrug. Bought a module with two remotes, one in the cab the other on the keychain to turn my bedlights on and off. Very responsive remote much better than my CA-670 turns on and off very well and even has a similar distance compared to my remote start. A lot of people ask to turn on the bedlights when they go back there, they can never find the switch so now I just hit the button on my keys. I also bought a new bedrug, my last one had a little bit of a chemical spill on it and warped a little.
The underhood lighting is nice, I am always finding myself under the hood without light, so for me it's very useful. Came out a lot brighter than I thought. It was a very clean install, all the wires are hidden as well as the lights and transformer. The switch is on the front of that plastic radiator cover/cowl, so it's easy to find when I can't see anything.

Here are the bedlights at Pismo. You can see my spotlight pointed in the air, it actually can be seen from pretty far, I use this as a "flag" so other duners can see me when I am on the other side of a dune, and so people I know can find me @ comp hill. Don't know why the pic does not reveal this well. The second pic was just a pic I had made into a poster because my friend had it done for cheap...might mean something in 20 years.

Looks good.
Ive been meaning to do the same with mine, becasue like you, I am also under the hood or in the bed with no light it seems like, and even with the cargo light on my toolbox blocks a decent amount of light going into the bed. When I first got this new model truck and found out it didnt have an underhood light I bished about it for 3 months probably
Id like to use one of those door style switches to the lights come on automatically when the hood is opened, and shut off when I close the hood...
Do you mind me asking where you got those lights?
