Led strip lights in bed

Has anyone done this with a switch in the cab. I saw on TW someone did this but wired it to the interior dome light. I would want it on its own circuit with a switch in the cab. If anyone has seen this done or knows where I can get more info on it, could you post up the link

 

There are several threads on TW as I recall where they have a switch control for the bed light strips. It's really a very easy thing to include. One of the guys on TW sells the bed kits with a switch option included. Not sure if the bed lengths will make much of a difference.

 

Is there any particular reason you want it switched from the cab? I did mine using a magnetic security door contact so the lights come on when I open the camper shell door. I took the constant power coming into the shell light, ran the negative lead through the switch (make sure you use a switch that is open continuity when the magnet and switch are together) and voila! My strips come on when I open the shell.

 

Do you have any pics and DIY instructions... part numbers for this setup?

 

Ditto on that. Great idea.

 

I see that member hasn't been active in awhile, so I'll have to do some digging... They had a somewhat informative video on the subject. Not quite sure yet how I'd want it to operate. This maybe a great option... push button?

I now realize too. 4/2014. Still a great idea. The magnetic security door contact shouldn't be that hard to get.You also can rig it on your tailgate. Lights on when gate drops. Nifty.

 

That link showed the same lights I put on my fire engine and yea they work great.
