Bed Lights
Has anyone tapped into the bed light wiring to add more lights? Just looking for location and wire color. Thanks!

I'd be curious to know if anyone has upgraded the factor bed light to these from Recon...
are they that much more brighter? worth it?

I have been very happy to have bed lights for the short period of time that I have owned the truck. I too would like to hear a review as there is always room for improvement.

I think I might have to order a set of those Recon upgrades. My only concern, after owning Recon products on previous trucks, is that the quality won't be there.

As long as they are bright and last I'll be happy. Luckily it's not a critical light so I don't mind trying them out.

Are these purely a replacement for the stock ones, or is the wiring there if you didn't get the stockers from the factory?
