Got my LED bed lights installed!

I got 2 4' strips from Oznium. I got them installed yesterday and was pleasantly suprised with the light ouput when the sun went down. The lights are very small, probably only about a 1/2 wide. They are flexible and waterproof and come with 3M tape on the back. I ran some clear silcone along the top and buttom after I installed them because Im not %100 sure they will stick for the life of the truck to the bedliner. I will add some more pics to this thread when I get some night pics. Thanks to everyone that has posted pics of this...this is going to be one of my favorite mods!

I installed a door jamb switch and a 3-way toggle switch so I can turn them off when I need the tailgate down and I can turn them on with the tailgate up.

Here is a pic with the LEDs not lit up...

Now that's not bad. I might have to look into this. I've often wanted some light in there, as the tonneau blocks the stock bed light. I haven't done anything to this point because I use my truck like a truck, hauling dirt, mulch, rock, etc. on occasion, and was always concerned anything I installed would get damaged. This looks like it might be pretty durable.

I'd add the tailgate switch, but would wire them into the parking lights instead of a toggle in the bed (that would end up broken for me).

Sorry for the crappy pics, my camera doesnt like taking pictures w/out the flash at night. As you can see, she throws out some light!

With the cover...

Cover rolled up...

Not sure what you mean by black or red? Im assuming thats what they are calling there new mufflers?

I bought mine a few years ago when you had to buy the entire cat-back system. It is a corsa sport muffler, which is the most aggressive sounding muffler they have.

Yeah they have the dB series. Red being aggressive and black being most aggressive. Is this what yours looks like?
