LED bed lighting install!

[adirthechen]

Just installed LED bed lighting in my 2023 XL Hybrid!

Used the provided 12v connection and wiring harness, connected it to a 5-switch marine panel and used one of the switches to power the LED lights. In hindsight, I should have gotten one with less switches, as I don’t know what I will do with the other 4, but I guess if I need them for something, they’re ready to go

Never done vehicle wiring before, but it was pretty simple with what Ford provided. The switch panel came with the 5 switches, USB-A, plugs, 12v plug, and a volt monitor. I wanted something with USB-C, so found a USB-C insert on Amazon that I swapped out the volt monitor for (the insert had a built in volt monitor anyway!). The LED lights were from Amazon, and just needed to go to the hardware store for some connectors.

I've never done any wiring either, so well done, it looks sweet.

I like the color change. I'd been looking to add a strip of white LEDs to help with unloading when we go camping. The Lariat has the light in the back, but it could use more.

Very nice. I see from the switch labels that you are a fisherman. Well done! Looks sharp.

and the purpose is?

To enjoy life a little in a manner that literally hurts no one.

Looks great.. I would love to see how you hooked up the anchor and the bait tank.

Neat. Been thinking about doing something similar.

But just don’t be like one guy around here, and drive with the LEDs turned on.

Some joker in a lifted Silverado with bright LEDs all over the place, even on the rims (not sure how you wire that). At night it looks like one of the space ships from Close Encounters.

I did the same thing with mine. Nice for unloading groceries at night with a tonau cover.

Spam. We've seen bed lighting installation posts since 2021 yours isn't unique or special

Hey, come on. It's special to him and he put some time and effort into the project. I think it's great that he shared. Sure there's been numerous posts about bed lighting, but some folks are new members and haven't seen them. We are a club . . . we should have each other's backs.

You are really ignorant. If the original poster is happy with his work then who are you to criticize
