MattGecko LED Bed & Hood light kits

i Bought a bunch more of the zip tie mounts and used those as they stuck much better and are easier to remove if you ever need to.

 

Matt,
I saw some "under cab" lights on the webpage...is there a way to wire these into the door switches to use for "puddle" lights?

 

Sweet idea!!!

 

Another question...do you offer (can you build) a light strip for the bed that can change color? My ideal setup would be a combination of white (normal), orange (Halloween), red and green (Christmas), and red, white and blue (4th of July). Guess I could use a green and blue for the Seahawks as well.

That might be a pipe dream, but I guess three strips that can be individually programmed a particular color...thinking big here...

 

Anyone have a pic the switch and where it's mounted?

 

Is there anything for a 2007 CrewMAX?

 

I used the existing hole in the bed to run my switch. Will post a pic when I can. This was an existing hole in the bed

 

I run my wires through that one I believe.

Yes it can be done but do to liability I do not provide any install instructions that tie into factory wiring.

Wonder if I could put white leds up top and red ones somewhere else so I can choose which color I'd like

 

They will fit site by side under the rail. Each set of lights would have its own bed mounted switch.

 

Nice product...Whats the lead time to southern California?

 

I build orders and ship daily, approx 3-4 days to you front door.

 

I just finished my Diamondback install on my Crewmax and need more light in the truck bed. Can any noob install these? Where do you have to run wire to get power? That's the one concern I have.

 

PM sent with install instructions. Thanks!

 

Ordered warm white! thanks

 

I have bed and under hood LED light kits.... On Sale!

Can you pm me instructions as well? Curious how this is hooked up. Thanks

 

Has anyone tried these with a bedrug installed? The bedrug butts up against the rails and I wonder if there is room. Thanks

 

I have these with bedrug. Plenty of room.

 

I only have a pic of a bed rug in a Tacoma, works great.

 

Go check out the thread, https://www.tundras.com/threads/diy-footwell-led-install.1769/
explains all this as is stated about "puddle lights" I installed mine, in just the footwells for now. open the door, they fade on, close the door they fade off at every seat, not just driver seat. Pics of mine in the last post of that thread^^

 

Thanks for the pics. What did you use for a ground point for the wiring?

 

Received my kit in the mail today for those thinking of ordering from Canada! Too cold here at the moment -20c but looking forward to warmer weather to get this done.

 

I think it's using the ground wire on the tail light brake light.

 

^^Thanks! I was thinking there was a ground point there and thinking of using that as an option. -20c here so can't really check it out myself til it warms.

 

Matt...I also didn't see the "remote" on the website, is it available? Can I see wiring instructions for both the hood & bed lights? I'm doing some other wiring and want to see if I'm using any common items.
Lastly, is there a recommended way to wire a non-remote switch into the tailgate, so they'll turn off/on when opened. I saw a magnetic switch, but thought some type of momentary switch might work?
Thanks

 

I do offer the remote to the forums only. I'll PM you info.

 

I purchased some from Matt and wired them to the cargo light switch.
