Learn how to install LED strip lights in the bed of your truck or under the hood of your car for less than $30. I show you how to wire the white LED strip lights with a push button switch and a magnetic switch so when you open the tailgate the lights come on automatically and illuminate the inside of the truck bed.
You can also install the LED lights under the hood of your car so when you open your hood, the lights turn on automatically or with the push of a button. In this case we are working on a Ford Raptor pickup truck but the LED light installation process is the same on any vehicle.

Hey @ChrisFix! I just want to say thanks SO MUCH for your videos! I'm an 18 year old girl who knows absolutely nothing about cars and I've always been too scared to buy one, but with your videos I just got an amazing deal on my first car and it's in great shape! You also helped me prove my boyfriend wrong haha because I changed some brake pads, rotors, and did an oil change all by myself which was the coolest thing ever! So keep doing what you do because it's helping millions!! :)

Two notes: 1. I would strongly recommend testing before zip-tying everything and reassembling the tail light. (put fuse in, test, pull fuse out again, tidy up, put fuse back in, test again) 2. I would put the switches on the positive side, so that the LED tape goes straight to "ground" on the negative side. This way, if something shorts out along the way, it's more likely the lights will be stuck off, rather than stuck on.
@toms4123
@toms4123 2 роки тому
A couple of things worth mentioning, learnt when rewiring my boat: 1. The primary choice of fuse does not depend on the load you intend to connect. The wire is chosen to be able to support the intended load and connection distance, then the fuse is chosen to have an equal or lower current capacity as the wire. If the fuse is rated higher than the cable, a short is likely to end in a fire. 2. The wire needs to be multistrand as you have used, never use solid core wire eg intended for a house, vibration will break it. 3. When the solder connection is shown in the cideo, a difference between the LED tail and the wire for the run to the battery on the right is visible: left = silver (presoldered), the right shows bare copper. Presoldered is chosen by the led manufacturer because it does not corrode. I have not yet found a “waterproof” connection which remains just that in boats and cars.

Thank you so much for installing the bed lights! I've enjoyed them for the last few months and they've been working flawlessly. None of the double sided tape has come off so to everyone doing this, follow Chris' instructions and don't skip the isopropyl alcohol!!

Hey Chris, I just wanted to share a couple of suggestions which may help you for future. I have been doing electrical wiring in vehicles for 30 years so plenty of experience. I've also fixed a lot of other peoples problematic wiring issues. You do a pretty good job, however a couple of important things caught my eye. Using marine wire, which is tinned from factory would help with any corrosion issues. Secondly the ground wire at the back wrapped around a bolt without even using a connector made me cringe. If you are going to go through the trouble of running a wire from the battery, run power & ground, that way you are making a good solid connection at the same location, and you are creating a loop between the battery and the device. A bad ground will cause lots of problems down the road. Marine grade epoxy heat shrink connectors will save you the step of using the dielectric grease. One more suggestion is to run the wire from the battery back towards the cab, then across the firewall and down. I'm certain your videos will help a lot of folks. You might want to look into Power Probe's soldering guns and torches. They will make your life so much easier.

little tip- you could find an unused fuse in the fusebox that gets power when the truck is off, then put an undervolt-protection circuit on it so it cuts out if the truck's battery voltage gets too low. This is pretty common practice for things like dashcams :P only difficulty is getting it from internal to external, unless you have a free fuse in the enginebay fusebox.

The toughest part for me was running the conduit and wire under the body of the vehicle. That was a challenge but I got there in the end. A little bit nerving when I had to drill the hole for the button switch but it worked out fine in the end. Thanks for all your tips and advice. It really did help to make it a good secure fitment.

Today is November 11, 2020. As a subscriber, I have no idea how I missed this video back in January! I just replaced my old vinyl tonneau cover with a hard, Bak Flip MX4 cover. Once that was done, I couldn't wait to tackle this project! I have a 2011 Toyota Tundra with the OEM bed rail system. I also have a sprayed in factory bedliner. I decided to run the led strip under the rails. I used 99% isopropyl alcohol to clean the surfaces but also ran the 3M high bonding tape all the way around, just to make sure the LED's would stay stuck. The more difficult part was figuring out the wiring on the switch as the wires are different colors than yours, Chris. It didn't take long to figure that out and I felt tremendous satisfaction when the whole install was complete! It looks amazing and works perfectly! The only issue I have is the LED strips were beginning to sag on the ends of the rails I attached them to so to solve that, I wrapped each of the rail ends with a black zip tie. So far, nothing seems to be sagging! Thanks again Chris for another educational, fun project!

Just finished my install following these instructions and it looks great. it looks even better since i was able to mount the strips to the bottom of my roll cover rails and it lights every corner of the bed. i did have to run the ground to the ground under the bed on the frame since the bolt on the bed was not enough. i also ran the battery to a power block so if i want to add more connections for power in my bed i can.

Just a small tip from an electrician. The next time you need to hook up a ground I would advise to crimp a large connector washer (eyelet perhaps in your country?) to the ground wire. I have a feeling that those threads nicked the copper enough for it to pop off from vibrations one day. Usually the ground is the most important as a good ground connection can also nake sure your fuse does blow when you need it to blow the most. Everything else was great!
