This video never gets old for me! I simply love how easy you explain things! I'm doing this same install but with a mod that makes the lights turn on when the tailgate opens, only if it's dark enough! Tried this a few months ago but unfortunately the lights shorted as they weren't fully waterproof. lol Keep up the great content Jesse, you inspire people like me!

[@TexaSteven]

Hey Jesse, you should be able to cut those strips in between the led lights to the length you need. Those led lights usually come in big bales from China so they are made for you to cut it the length you want. Watch a video by Trailrecon where he made something very similar for his back rear window of his Jeep. You just need to use the electrical tape to clean up the end you cut to kestrel out. Planning on using this on mod on my truck as well.

[@JesseRizo]

I had asked my source at auxbeam they recommended not to do that that’s y I didn’t even mention it but I believe u can but to me it’s fine there functional so I didn’t even mind that little part thanks though my friend :)

[@kyledefenbach4363]

Couple things. First off, thanks for the video, making a video while doing this install can't be easy. I did this install with my ram but didn't use the switch, I wired it straight to my cargo lights so they just come on with my cargo lights. If you want to tie hot wire it, you don't need to run it all the way to your battery, you can connect it to your fuse box. Wiring it to the cargo lights makes it so you don't have to run it into your cab at all and you don't have an ugly aftermarket switch in your cab. Also, less exposure for the wires, I think you're okay here but use a solder. They're cheap and you're use to get a secure and safe connection. Either way, thanks for the video. Lights look great.

[@nvidiasniper]

Your video installation is done in detail very informative too.

[@JesseRizo]

[@AllthingsStyledbyPam]

Hi Jesse!!! Wow!!!! I love how it looks at night yessss!!!! I got my snacks so I’m ready for this video lololol!!! I agree it’s not that hard adding or extending the wire because I’ve seen that done before!!! I love how you explain each process of the wiring and splicing!!! Gotta you don’t tape together but separately!!! That’s cool using the wiring cover!!! Black with black and red with the red!!! I definitely agree after all the hard work you don’t want water getting on the wires!!! I loved how you use a clothes hanger!!! Ooh that’s what you did with the harness!!! I love the repetitive of you saying not to tape the wires together and will cause a shortage!!! Sometimes you got to because will do exactly the opposite of what you said not to do!!! Lolol!!! I stayed the end of course to see the difference!!! The LED lights are definitely on point Jesse!!! You are soo talented!!!! I loved your video!!!!! Xoxo Pam 💝💖💖💗

[@JesseRizo]

I will look for one thanks 👍

[@ryanmurphy694]

That looks really nice too many wires for me bud lol! Love the idea will probably look for something a little smaller. Any chance they have a OEM style switch for that? I thought that was going to be your third switch for the Cali Raised panel unless I missed what it was

[@JesseRizo]

It’s pretty bright I tried it out last night and last week on our camping trip lol but yea I agree it is to many wires 😂, no I wish they did I’d have to get one from Cali raised and no I havnt put nothing on it I actually have another light bar for it I just havnt had the time to do it lol

[@FreeTimeFeats]

Dawg just use an add a fuse to tap the existing bed light switch and it will function when the doors open or switched on, etc

[@erickoechling9307]

FYI +: Dude, at 11:44 you show the light strip. You can cut 6 of your LED's off at the cut mark and they'll be the right length. Still a good job

[@PracticalPat]

Jesus man this is one long video but regardless very informative and creative af. That bed lighting could actually be pretty handy when working at night or late and you're haling maybe wood and stuff on the back or maybe even for a late night truck party. Anyways good installation video jesse keep it up man! :)

[@JesseRizo]

I’m thinking a night truck party 😎🤙 lol jk!!! Thanks bro :)!!!

[@Trays7940]

Ok, loved the video! Great lesson in wiring and pretty well done. Question; why did you run the original led wiring back down the length of the truck bed instead of just running the led strips the opposite direction and having all that wire to run up into the cabin?

[@JesseRizo]

Thank you, and because the length of the bed led strips is to long for a 5 foot bed so if I would’ve done it the opposite way the ends of the wires coming out of the led stripped would’ve been exposed in the middle of the bed and would not look good at all so flipping it backwards allowed me to hide the wires if u have a 6 foot bed u don’t have to do it this way since these lights are for a 6 foot bed 👍 I hope that helps

[@Trays7940]

Got it!

[@tonyv1505]

I have a question, can you connect it to the rear lights so they light up when you turn your headlights on? also maybe add a on/off switch on the wire next to the led lights so you have the option of driving with it on or off

[@JesseRizo]

I wouldn’t doubt it I’ve seen a similar install like that before just you will have to do some splicing I didn’t really want to cut into the wires lol but I’m sure u can 👍

[@marroquinjonathan88]

Sick video bro!

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks bro!!! :)

[@vincekimura3937]

jesse, could you connect the led power to the fuse box instead of battery? this would alleviate the need for inline fuse. also, i think you would not have a wire shortage if you reverse the led strip?

[@toxophilite1953]

Looks great! Question: Couldn’t you put the lights in backwards, instead of tucking in the wires underneath the bed cover & back towards the cabin of the truck just have the tips of the lights toward the back? Or did I miss something?

[@JesseRizo]

Yes u can the only reason I didn’t was because I didn’t want the two wires to be exposed right in the middle of the truck the way I did it everything is tucked in but yes u can do it that way you would just have to be careful when u use ur bed that u don’t get something caught in those wires

I purchased these bed lights too and as well a OEM bed light switch do you know of how to properly wire after cutting the factory switch?

[@JesseRizo]

Yea I just did it for a friend of mine the only down side is with these specific lights they don’t have a wire to make the light on the switch light up atleast I couldn’t figure it out I tried different ways but as far as turning on and off the bed lights u can make it happen it’s possible

[@clementesolorzano7131]

Looks good when lite, however I would have used the appropriate connectors and wire. You could have flipped the led strips to avoid running the wire back under the trim. A little to long for me looks good though!

[@JesseRizo]

As these are for a 6 and up foot bed you can’t or else it’ll expose a gang of wire :/ lol I tried it off camera and it looked bad, and true about the connectors I still havnt had any problems and it’s been months since I installed them lol thank you :)!!

[@cpsmonroe1]

Couldnt I just plug into the factory wiring underneath the dummy caps for the OEM lighting? That way it’s controlled by the factory door switch and also the bed light switch on the dash.

You should have poke it thru the gromet .... Up to the insulation sleeve ....then pop the gromet back into the body cavity hole. Then silicone around the gromet wire hole.

[@JesseRizo]

I held off on that for now I’m actually doing a cb install on my truck ;) so that hole ima use to run that wire as well I was going to use silicone once that install is done but great thinking my friend :)!!! Thanks for the tip

[@ttss5726]

This should be title how not to wire..... speaker wire I mean yeah it works but let’s be real use the proper primary wire..... second why cut the connectors off and not use them. I can’t understand why people constant cut them off and never use them, the proper why would have been cut off the connector leave a good 2 inches or so added your wire then use the connector for it’s intended purpose. Third a coat hanger coke on use something that won’t cause damage use a ac and heater 6 foot cable tie. They don’t damage anything and are flexible that they don’t need much room to get thru. Fourth why not use the cavities in the bed to run the wire properly I mean all you have to do is look for where the factory harness goes.fifth runs wire thru a hole that has an edge then sticks the grommet over it pinching the wires... you could have just gone thru the hole in the fire wall again it’s there for a reason. 6th it’s low voltage why are you running it from the battery you could have research and connected it to the pin out on the junction box for a factory look and power. Better yet you could have short cutted and use a add a fuse and connected to the fuse box again not need to run anything from the battery... It’s wiring like this that provides me job security when a car catches fire

[@KevinLee138]

Please do not splice wires like this. Crimp connectors are so cheap and easy to use and make secure connections when done properly. Twisting wires together like that will loosen up over time. If you're going to splice stranded wire like that, do a lineman's splice and apply solder
