LED light strips for Bed - Orientation

[nunucello]

When installing LED light strips for the bed on each side, how should you orient the LEDs ? Downward/Vertical or Horizontal/Facing opposite bed side ?

Thank you for all of your help.

First, I found that one strip of LEDs was plenty of light for me and it saved a lot of work running wire under the back of the truck. It really simplified installation. I installed them horizontal which helps light up the entire bed from side to side. You'll find there is a flat area near the top underneath the overhang that is perfect for attaching them horizontal.

I have my lights mounted at the bed rail. On the inner lip so the light points towards to side of the bed not downward.

Looks perfect. Great work. Really appreciate the pics. Thank you

I have mine mounted like @Lone Star Proud . The strip was longer than the bed but instead of cutting it, I just turned it 90° inwards and stuck it to the tonneau cover.

That looks really good. I love the pic. Dogs look amazing as well

So this is where dogs go on Saturday nights. I can almost hear them howling to Stayin’ Alive. Need one of these too—

That's where I positioned my light strip - hoping it's not too low (I'm still waiting on Amazon to deliver posi-taps today so I can tap into the factory bed light/switch) but looks good on yours

Same here. Just drivers side is more than enough

I have strips on both sides tucked up under the bed rail. I ran the wires under the truck from the passenger side to the driver side. Easy & clean install.

Just installed these on the vertical wall of the bed

That look really good. Your LED strips are pointed down yes ?
