Getting Cargo Light BRIGHT!

[Half Assed]

The lines/ridges in the factory cargo light lenses are to help aim the light downwards BTW. A clear plexiglass lens won't aim as well, but it's better than nothing.

I was thinking about getting this and making the whole thing a cargo light, then mounting a red led strip behind the rear window for a 3rd brake light

I'm still thinking this is our best bet, lemme see if I can find them cheaper somewhere!

I'm also unhappy with the cargo light output. I was thinking about running LED strips along the entire length of the bedrails on the underside and under my tool box. It wouldn't do a ton for stuff that was high up, but I guess I have flashlights. We'll see if I get serious about trying this. I suppose if you wanted to have some fun you could use blue lights or green for some lighting effects. I'm sure I'll just do white if i ever attempt this. Shouldn't be too hard to tap into the cargo light switch circuit.

I was considering the same thing; as long as the lights under the bed rails are triggered by the cargo light switch, along with the 3rd brake light, it should work out really nice

you could add led bed rail strips very easily

I like the idea of bed rail lighting, I'm just not to that stage yet in bed storage yet! I still need a tool box and am going to weld up some angle iron on the bed rails and make some kind of exo-cage for it.

But good idea!
