[QUOTE="kevinbakon, post: 943874, member: 66834"] I used the Recon Cargo/Bed lighting in mine . . . I installed a toggle switch on my console, ran 14 gauge wires behind the dash, along the side paneling, out from the bottom of the cab, cut holes in the bed for the light casings, ran the wires between the fenders and bed, pushed the casings half way through, glued, set & reassembled the truck . . . end result is a clean factory-looking install! The most difficult part was removing & reinstalling the undercarriage (wheel wells). I deviated from the project that I mimicked (Aaron Lyon), where he installed the clusters through the tail lights, using a snake instead of removing the wheel wells. I've had it in for over a year and a half and absolutely love it . . . plenty of light, no hanging wires, etc. My only complaint is that this is the second Recon product I've owned and both have had a cluster of bulbs go out on me . . . Three times on my 3rd brake light & once on the bed light. Luckily, I only used 6 of the 8 clusters, so when I find the time, I left enough slack to do a replacement. Below is my original post . . . I took 50-60 pics along the process, but never got around to doing the write-up. Feel free to email me if you need any pics or pointers . . . good luck! [/QUOTE]
