I've been wanting a light in the rear of the truck for awhile now, but I didn't want to stick a traditional light back there. I wanted to do something that hasn't been done before. I picked up a set of these www.ebay.com/itm/281279453523 for $40.00.
I pulled off the rear of the top near the back trim piece and drilled a series of small holes to accommodate the screws and clips the lights came with. I then added a drop of super glue on the back to make sure the screws won't back out. Clips installed:
I drilled another hole and installed a little on/off switch.
I had previously installed a 12v socket in the rear, so I tapped into the power/ground to power the LED.
I plan on removing the cabin light, recovering the headliner, and sticking the other one up front.
Installed:
Here it is lit a completely dark garage:
It's a LOT brighter than the pics denote, as is typical of trying to take pictures of lights with a camera.
