- In this video, we use Ford's built in prewired 12 volt system to install some cheap bed lights from Amazon on my 2022 Ford Maverick FX4
Lights : www.amazon.com...
much nicer than the single LED light that comes in the Lux package. Will be interested to see how the "sticky" mounting method holds after your bed gets really hot or really cold. I've had poor results with anything sticky holding long term on plastic. Metal generally has better adhesion. Nice clean looking install though. you do good work.
Time will tell. I am in TX so it will get hot (and cold) expecting subzero temps this week ! I will definitely post an update down the line on how it holds up. Worst case I spend another $25 in a year or two haha
Should be fine as long as you pre-clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol. Stuck to my 12 F150 for 4 years in 100f+ and -0 temps...
I went with a round switch that popped in the bed extender hole in almost identical location on myF150. Hid everything nicely.
Thanks for this video man! Got my xl AWD back in November and love it! Just subscribed 👍 Keep these videos coming!
XL AWD seems like the sweet spot for bang for buck!
Cool... I was actually thinking about blue lights under my XLT Hybrid Maverick ..
Go for it ! I'm hoping they release a hybrid AWD one day...
Great install, looks clean!
Thanks!
I saw your tag, I got mine at long MacArthur too
They were easy to work with. Shipped to me in TX
Thanks for the video!
Cool! Thanks!!
Great video, but I saw a switch panel on another video installed. Real simple switch panel (drivers side) so maybe I'll try it as it would make things easier on my XL. Again thanks for your video I'm ready to tackle this :)
Thanks ! Yes a switch would be awesome. I’ll have to find that video.
I just installed the lights. Pretty nice, but my only issue is when you wanna add a bed cover you’ll possibly ruin your lights
I don't have any faith in the adhesive strips on the back of the LED lights. Where I live it's down to -20 degrees in the winter, and up to 100 degrees in the summer. That glue will be shot in less than 2 years.
yep, one has already fallen off a bit ! Might try some zipties
Any photo of how bright it is at night? Also any update on switch location? Thanks!
Plenty of light at night, Ill post a video soon
I plan on doing this to my Maverick but was wondering if you could cut the factory switch off the lights and replace it with a rocker switch?
You can wire it to a rocker switch
How do you know where you can cut the LED strip to fit the Maverick bed? Is there a marking you can see with the tape not exposed or do you pull the red backing of the strips to see where to cut?
There are lines on the strip that show where you can cut
hello how are you..any help with the power cord fuse for those lights,my fuse blew and i dont know where to replace it..thanks in advance
Did you use fords provided 12v hookup?
@@TreyJustice hello...I already fix the problem, isn't the fuse blown out,this kind a trucks after 60 minutes shot off the power by self .. 😬
Nice, wondering what else can be hooked up
I'm probably going to install some USB charging ports and a 12 v port for a camping fridge, compressor, etc next !
Any idea where to buy that Ford cord from the glove box? We bought a used Maverick that did not come with the cord.

Thanks! Bought the cord, and I will be installing the lights this coming week. @@TreyJustice
Did you experience your battering dying after the install?
I have not experienced any battery issues. I have not left lights on more than 15 minutes though.
I followed instructions and my truck burned to ground. Rip
