In my other post I explained a simple mod that I came up with to light up my truck bed once the BAKflip cover is installed. I wanted to get it done this week since my cover should arrive any day now. Well I just finished it tonight and it turned out better than I thought.
I ended up removing the left rear tail light (driver side) and splicing the bed light straight into the running light feed so that it will come on whenever the headlights or running lights are on and the tailgate is open. I used a normally-closed momentary switch from Radio Shack and it works like a charm.
If anyone wants to do this and has questions then reply or PM me. It is very easy and should only take an hour or so but I can help if you get stuck.
