Bed light?
Here's my problem:
I recently put a snugtop lid on my 05 SCREW short bed. It's awesome except for the fact that now it is impossible to see in there when it's dark out. I was thinking of running some LED type bars under the bed rails -- if such bars even exist.
Anybody have any other ideas?
Thanx!

I had the same problem on my 95 Chev. I found the easist solution was to get a battery powered RV light attached under the cover near the tailgate. It was going to be a PITA to run the wiring and figure out a spot for the switch. It gets hot under there but I never had any problems with leaking batteries.

I was under the assumption that a light was an option on most caps. It seems to me that everyone I know with a lid has a light under it. I just assumed it came with the lid. silly me for assuming!!

KevinM, Is your light battery operated or hard wired and what did you mean by remote light? Thanks

There is a great little magnetic light I got at Wallmart. It's a beige thing, but it fits nicely against the rear under the tail lights on the inside. You do forget it there if you don't use it for a while.
It's a Coleman and under 15 bucks.
