Just finished an install. Will have more pics shortly...

You guys all using tape to attach the lights?

Yes, the LEDs I bought have 3M tape on the back that sticks very well.

Amazon.com: LEDwholesalers 16.4 Feet 300 SMD LED Flexible Strip with Waterproof Sleeve,12 Volt Clear White LED Ribbon 5 Meter Reel, 2047WH: Home Improvement

I was able to get the rear cargo mod, hood mod, and rock lights out of this one strip, and I had about a foot or so left over, too.

More pictures. It's like daylight under the truck! What's nice is that most of the light really stays directly under the truck.

Why not any lights in the wheel well? Other than looking cool as is, it would be more practical if changing tires in the dark. No?

....um

Where, exactly, did you get this idea from again?






LOL- Looks great!

I dunno ... just didn't think of it, I guess? Probably easier to use a headlamp since most of the focus is on the lug nuts during a tire change and they would be backlit with lights in the wheel well. The strips under the rockers seemed like a cheap and easy solution to what would otherwise be a complicated rock light install.

Ok, not hating just wondering. I'm more practical about such and will most likely do something in the wheel well for night repairs. Still looks cool!

Definitely keep us updated on what you do. I still have LEDs left over, and of yours works I may copy it.
