Question Bed Lights?

Those who have bed covers, have you mounted any lights in the bed? What brand, was it battery or hard wired, and where did you get it and how much? Any and all ideas welcome.

Thanks,

Adam

I went to the local junk yard, and took the hood light out of a Taurus.

Basically, any tilt switch will do. I just know the Ford hood lamp had an integrated tilt switch, so I looked for Fords.

Wire it to 12V, mount it, and your set. No messing with pushbutton switches, etc.

Cost: $5

Oh, forgot to mention...make sure you mount it in the right direction, otherwise it won't turn on when you want it to.

It helps to have 12V handy when you figure out how you're going to mount it. Or, a continuity tester.
