Any suggestions for bed lighting

Hey any suggestions for lighting under the rails of the bed. With the tonneu cover on and a bedrug it gets pretty dark under there and I am afraid of the dark.

I was thinking of some sort of led strip lighting like the Lincoln Blackwoods came with. Thanks for the replies.

They make a "line of fire" LED kit. Do a search on eBay for it. May not be the overall effect you're looking for, but it's a start.

Maybe hook up a push switch in the tailgate to turn it on/off? ...or if you only open the top of your cover, one on the bed rail...

They also make those LEDs in a rope that you could wire up under there. They come in all sorts of pretty colors

Hehe thats what I was going to suggest when I started reading. It does give off pretty good illumination. Sorry I don't know where to get the stuff tho.

I suppose that I could always use candles for the bed lighting

I was thinking about a push switch for the tailgate or hooking it up to the cargo/interior light switch. I'll figure something out.

im thinking of getting a light from a rv store that has a push button on/off right on the light and mounting it under the lid.

One of these days I'm going to get around to this. Mounting some neon tubing along the inner sides of the tonneau, wired to the battery, and activated by a mercury switch. That's how I'd do it.
