Added some bed lights

I installed a Truxedo bed cover a couple weeks ago and it was really dark under the cover. So I installed some LED light sticks from OnScene Solutions. I put an 18" Access LED (400 lumens per 18") on each side toward the tailgate and a couple little "cherry bombs" the sales rep was giving away at a show last year, they are 2 LEDs each I think, only about 2" long. Those are up at the front and amazingly enough, they help. I installed a single rocker switch near the tailgate to control them all. Project turned out pretty good.

Looks like it throws a good amount of light.. I've seen some setups not so bright.

Nice job!.

Thanks, you beat me to it. And yes they put out alot of light. That picture was taken with my iPhone, so no special long exposure.

Power came straight off the battery, through a fuse holder. Ran wire inside wire loom all the way to the rear.
