    i first did this with my old tacoma. recently did the same for my tundra. figured i'd share here in case someone else might find this idea useful ...

    i wanted more light when camping and hooking up my sled trailer in the dark. the inside edge of my topper door seemed like an out-of-the-way location. i used this LED light strip and this switch. some pics below.

    plenty of light:

    here's where i mounted the LEDs:

    here's where i mounted the switch:

    can't believe i waited so long to do this. it's a game-changer and doesn't cost much. let me know if you want more info or pics.

    That looks great! Where did you pull the power from?

    thanks @grant.ducckk :thumbsup:
    i tapped into a line i had run previously for interior lights and usb power inside the topper. it runs from the battery, along the frame and up alongside the driver's side taillight into the bed.
