    I did not see on your site the price for both bed and under hood lights?

    @azTony
    I just verified the option is there, under Tundra bed lights there are drop down menus to choose from.

    I have a softopper and it utilizes clamps, does it interfere with how its mounted under the rails?..

    The light strips are 10mm wide, provided the clamps don't cover all of the underside of the rail they will fit.

    Will these work under a Leitner Designs active cargo system and a decked two drawer system installed in the bed?

    For the bed lights, where does the manual switch mount? How will these hold up if I were to haul a load of gravel or dirt?

    Also, I have a CrewMax without the cargo rails. You mentioned it was better to have the rails. Could you elaborate please?

    As for the engine lights, where is the manual switch located?

    Thanks!

    The lights mount under the bed rails which help protect them. If the truck is used for a lot of construction I'd not recommend them.

    For the full under hood light kit $65 includes shipping to USA. Hood lights purchased with a bed light kit the under hood light kit $51 (the two kits share parts).

    I had a similar setup on my previous Tundra, but I also had lights underneath the cab to light up the footwell area. Do you offer something for that? It was basically two 60" strips and I wired them to the cargo lamp. I am definitely interested in the hodd and bed lights you have.

    Undercab lights do not include install instructions as they are tied into factory wiring.

    I only have a Tacoma picture:

    Couple questions. Just ordered my bed and hood light kits. Is there a way to mount the bed switch without drilling? Like mounted on the bed rail itself? Also, is there a way to get power to the bed without drilling by using one of the rubber knockouts at the front of the bed? I have a bed rug installed...not sure if that changes the install at all.

    For running power to the bed, one option is to use the opening near the tailgate. At the top of the bed near the rails there is an opening that you can pass wires through and they come out behind the tail lights. So just remove the tail lights to get access and pass the wires down to the bottom and underneath of the truck, along the tail light wires.

    Here's how I have my power and lock wires running into my bed and connecting to my shell:

    Installed the engine and bed lights. The bed lights I glued to a T nut that slides in the bed rails. Didn’t have to drill a single hole....the tail light comes out with 2 screws and allows full access for wiring. The engine light I used the pin switch. The only issue I had is with the lights sticking and Matt is sending me more tape.
