I made my own bed roll lights. I did it not only for he cost but to see if it was possible.
They came out really good if I do say so myself. I have brake, tail and signals.
All for under $30!

 

Right on.

I've seen something similiar to this before. It was on a severely lowered custom. Guy used those '53 Cad taillights (long pointy lenses) in the same spot as yours. Didn't look half bad, truck had alot of other custom touches done to it aswell... would have helped to have a picture.. One of my non-camera moments.

 

Came out good, must feel good doing it yourself.

 

Ok, I like it. Mind sharing what you used to make them up and how they're secured in the roll?

 

I like them. I agree with Drewski 2, would like to see/describe how and what you did. I've also thought about making a set for the front parking lights.

 

Those look great, give us a little hint ....lol

 

What did yo use to make them. They look Good.

 

Of course I will share! That what this is all about!

I used a silicon rubber tube that fit in the bed rolls pretty tightly. Any rubber tube could work as long as they fight fairly tight in the bed roll.
The wires were soldered to the pigtails and one to the side of the socket for a ground. All three wires were shrink wrapped for protection.
The socket is for 1157 bulbs from Auto Zone (most auto parts stores should have it).
LED bulbs:

The assembly was pushed into the bed roll and capped with the plug. The LED bulbs fit nicely into the cap plug and fits perfectly into the bed roll.

I got the cap plug from Ace Hardware.

Those look good! Thanks for sharing

 

Looks awesome. Sure feels good to invent something that is so paractical eh.

 

It feels even better to share it with everyone!

 

Cool beans! Thanks.

 

Really simple with great results!!!! Thanks for posting.

This will be on my "to do" list in the near future.
