Hello everyone I have been thinking about adding bed lights to my 2019 tradesman and have read a lot on here. I came across this kit and was wondering if anyone has used it but main how do you like it? Are the two lights bright enough? I was thinking do 4 or 6 because I have an 8ft bed. Any feed back would be great thank you

You're doing it wrong
Its worth it i love mine but i have also added led strips that stick under the bedrails so i have 8 ft of lighting
Do u have pictures by chance of how u mounted them and how it looks at night?

I like the factory bed lights. I also added more lights to the same circuit.
I like having the button in the bed or on the dash to turn them on, and the reminder light in the cluster.

LED Cargo Bed Lights Wiring ?????
Can you hook up an oscilloscope to see if it is putting out a PWM frequency? Or maybe there is just a pull down resistor on it? I think you ruled that out when you Ohmed it out though.

As soon as I have the free time (ha!) I have an LED strip kit I am going to install with the OEM switch. When I had my 1500 the OEM lights were not near as bright as the picture you attached but I assume they have been improved. Plus I have a bedrug so that will dampen lights and make installing them in the cutout more complicated. I can't speak for the lights in your kit but the functionality of the OEM option looks real nice to me.

I have the MX cap and put the lighting up top, I felt that once I started loading, those under rail lights would get blocked.
There is a 'hump' in the middle and they are higher than that so I'm not concerned about them getting hit.

Thanks... a roll of LED lights from SuperBrightLEDs, aluminum slats, and some longer bolts to replace the the ones that attach the rack on top.
It's wired into the bed lights so they operate just the same and with the button.
