12V constant near rear of truck?
Is there a 12V constant near rear of truck?...or do I need to run to the front? I do have the tow package, if that helps. Thanks!

Rear of the cab or near the tailgate? Does it need to be 12V hot at all times? (I assume that is what you mean by constant)

What are you connecting? You may want a dedicated line/fuse.

If your hooking up the recon light I would say run your own stuff. It will be fused and done right, sure it'll take some work but you won't be splicing into the factory stuff.

This is what we ended up doing. It was for bed lights...not recon's though.

Just curious what you used for a switch for the bed lights? I'm going to be doing the same thing, and I am trying to figure out the best way to turn the lights on and off (toggle switch, tailgate trigger).

I bought the dual light kit from here...comes with a tilt switch.

That's a nice product braindonor, thanks. Also, the truck came out nice with all the darker mods (harley etc).
