Question Bed Lights...WHO!?

I think i read it on here, but does someone have bedlights on their truck. Like an LED system that lights up the bed at night. I am thinking of custom designing a system myself for the bed of my truck. Blue LEDs in a True Blue (dark blue) truck bed.

I've done it but with four regular bulbs. Used clear lenses on clearence lights. Switched it. Lights up under the cover pretty well.

Yeah I actually just ordered the 60" White Lightning LED Tailgate Light Bar...it was 100 bucks...but I figure it will turn a few more heads....Here is a question for you light guys....You can see my grille on my signature and can click the link to my gallery for a better view, but I was wondering if anyone knows what would be the best way to go about putting some kind of lighting behind my grille to give it sort of an erie glow....let me know guys!

Get an LED light bar and put in on the front bumper inside your grill, face it upwards to the hood so that the light runs the full way up the grill. then run the power to the battery and ground the other connection and use a switch to your cab. YOu could add a second smaller light bar for the lower grill if you wanted.

No, i'm looking around right now. OZNIUM seems good so far.

This is kind of what i think you should get.

Noles: This is what i am going to do i think:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/WIREL...mZ250040057818

i will only use the two long tubes in my truck and probably sell the two shorter tubes.

You should get this kit and use the two short tubes and sell the two long tubes, This way you have a remote control to turn on the lighting....how cool!

Crashtheline - I think blue would be really sharp. I've been thinking about doing blue neon under the rails myself!

It's a cool idea in my opinion Music.....do you know if LED is brighter than Neon? I think the Neon tubes are brighter.

Galls is a law enforcement supply company that has a lot of LED gear, since police forces are going more towards led. You can order most stuff without having to be a cop. Stuff that says police or anything like that you can't order if you aren't.

www.galls.com
