New Light Mods!! (updated pics)

Here are the two mods I've spent the last week working on...sorry for the crappy pictures...but I suck at that...

First is the fog light mod...great mod just look cool and is pretty simple...

Here is the other mod...it's the bedlight mod...IT IS SO FREAKING AWESOME...I can't believe I took so long to do this one, its gonna be great to have some light back there...

Love the bed lights!!! Like everyone else, I can't imagine why toyota would not put cargo lights on their trucks. Where did you get the TRD Sport decal on the windshield?

The sport decal was made by a friend of mine...he owns Underground GRFX he mostly does performance cars...but I happen to hang with that crowd back home so he made it for me.

Really like the bed lights. I've been looking for the right lights to use. What type/name lights did you use? Thanks, Kelly

I bought the crappiest foglights they had at autozone 20 bucks for the lights another 10-15 in wire and connectors and thats all

I did both of these mods too. I used PIAA 1500 back up lights for my bed light mod. Check out my link

What did you use for switch?

used an on-off-on switch in the bed to control them and I still have to buy the door switch to make them come on with the tailgate down

I liked this idea so I followed suit. Found some cheap fog lights at Autozone for $20 and wired em up. When I say cheap, I mean CHEAP. Blew 4 fuses before I figured out the light was shorting internally. Taped it up and good to go. They put out a rediculous amount of light. Was hoping to figure out a way to mount them such that I could flip them over to light the outside when camping and such, but I gave up on that for now.

Excellent idea to use lights with grids for better protection.

Is it possible to make the lights flush?

I was going to do this mod also, just waiting for enough time.

My thought was to use licence plate lights, they would give off just enough light to see the bed and they would be directional so I could aim them down the bed.

That and they are cheap!

My two cents..

I need to take some daylight pics so you can see...bu mine are mounted inside the cubby holes and are definately protected...disadvantage is they aim towards the tailgate but there is enough reflective light to make it work just fine, they will be great when my bed cover gets here next week

 

[herculean]

Yes it's possible to make them flush. I actually mounted one recessed first but I didn't like that it cut off the edges of the light beam. Also, with the pivot mount on fog lights like these, if it gets hit with cargo it will rotate back into the pocket rather than taking the impact. I wanted a lot of light so it wouldn't matter where it was pointed and I think these accomplish that pretty well. There's lots of room in those pockets to do what you want and wiring is pretty easy. I grounded both of them to the frame bolts holding the spare tire rack.

here are the daylight pictures of mine installed...and a shot of the super sweet tailgate switch i finally put in...
