How to Install LED Bed Lights (Fun DIY Project)
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 06. 2024
- 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!! :)
Yessss! This is so awesome! This is what it’s all about! This is why I make my videos! Great job!
That's actually pretty awesome.
ChrisFix keep up the good work 👌🏼👌🏼
im not gonna put my age up here anymore but im very young and still enjoy these videos
Get rid of the old boyfriend, I'll treat you better love.

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!! Everyone that sees the lights is impressed at the clean install 👍🏻👍🏻
This was a lot of fun! This spring/summer you guys have to come back and we can do another collab! You guys can review the Maserati or the next car I’m looking for ;) and we can go fishing for the ChrisFish channel!!!!!

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.

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.
You make the best videos! This is perfect for my son loading his 4wheeler after mudding. He usually rides until dark. So this will be a great project for us. Thanks.

Hey! I did it! I installed my own LED's in the back of my ute. I followed your advice and instructions and managed to get it done for about $80. 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. Much appreciated!
Awesome! Nice work and glad the video helped!
What adhesive did you use? How has it held up so far?
@@devonburkhalter9840 I initially did try the strongest double sided adhesive tape I could find and washed the surfaces down with methylated spirits but in the heat of summer it just didn’t hold. Literally melted away. In the end I removed all the tape, which was a real pain in the ass and put dabs of silicone to hold the lights on. So far so good. They haven’t come off.
Got this done today and I am LOVING it! My switch was a little different, but I was able to work it out and it works like a champ! Thanks a million for this.
Awesome!!!

Being an auto electrician you really explained in detail what was required and how to do it, thumbs up
Thanks a lot
Really? You agree with his choice of mounting the ground wire? Shoving it into the threads was ghetto af.
Ryan Prokopow yea the ground wire was a bit odd but I was pointing out his positives
I thought everything Chris done was perfect, except for mounting the ground. So then I came to the comment section to see who agreed. I also put No-Ox-Id on my connections before I crimp. I love Chris's videos....
@@robertjefferson1372 if i use a crimp i put solder in it as well as crimping it. No water can get in there and now it has no chance of ripping out

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!
so many how-to's on youtube but yours are always the most descriptive. great job. exactly how i would have done it for one of my customers.

Wow to drive from Canada just to install lights, I wish my friends would do this. We live in the same building and they can’t even walk down the stairs to return things they borrowed from me.
Lol
They didnt do it for the lights it was for promoting their youtube channel well worth the drive
Is Flanders your last name?
Great job Chriss- keep up the good work- we all like your work.
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.
You know it’s gonna be a good day when chrisfix uploads a video
Love the helpful videos Chris, I’m 14 years old and I got a learner permit to drive and I’ve already replaced an alternator and going to be fixing the worn struts on our 97 escort, keep up with the awesome content! I’ve learned so much already from your videos. 👍👍

@@abenton3284 maybe you can help your dad fixing something that's what I do
Thank you! I am not very confident dealing with electrical but after watching this video I feel much better. I learn a lot especially safe side doing it.
I bought a light kit for the truck bed, but this is so much better for installation than anything the mfr provided. Having the lights come on when you open the bed makes so much more sense. Too easy to leave the light on accidently. Very good instructions. Have to check out some other ChrisFix videos.
*Me happily watching a video on how to install LEDs on a truckbed while owning an 18 y/o sedan *
Same here, just watching a video on installing leds when I very much know how to install leds considering I put 34 of them on my truck along with a strobe module and relay for running lights lmao.
I did skip the wire loom rule tho... Something about running loom along 6 different wiring harnesses adding up to 100+ feet of wire with over 70-80 connectors on them turned me off to that idea.

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.
Thank you for the tips
man your right
@@chrisfix this is what I love about you, replying to comments even after 3 years, absolute legend
love the tips, any info is good info. helping each other out is awesome. help each other out
I’m confused, I ran my lights just like he said and connected it just like he said, my lights come on, but are not bright anymore, connections seem solid, but do i need to install a relay somewhere after the fuse wire off the positive battery side?
Great video on how to install these LED lights. That gives me incentive to try it on some LED lights I haven installed because I didn’t know all the steps to do it. Looks easy enough. Thanks for the video!
So does this increase performance like in a PC?

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!
Making me want to go put lights under all my hoods and in all my trunks... Thanks, Chris!
Lol no prob ;P

@@arian_5.085 extra big capacitors*
@@jarrettc.4417 That gauge of wire can't handle anything close to 50A (probably 20A-30A max, and that's pushing it), and would result in the wire more than likely catching fire in the event of a short. Basically the wire would behave as if there were no inline fuse, and it was connected directly to the battery.
Hey Chris! I spent so much time looking for this exact setup online and couldn't find what I was looking for! All the setups were much more complicated than this! So thanks for making this video! 😊

Awesome video! I’m getting ready to purchase some lights for my bed and watched your video. Well detailed and nice drawing. This will help me big time in installing my set of lights.
This was a awesome, very informative video. You definitely know what you're doing, and how to explain it. Now I'll be doing the same to my F150. FYI, I also enjoy the Straight pipe guys. 3 Thumbs up

Hey, Chris! Hope you're well!!
Another very thorough and knowledgeable tutorial!
Thanks Adam!
Job well done Chris ! Looks awesome and very clean! ✔️
Thanks
Would really appreciate a hardwiring tutorial from the legend himself, there aren’t much in depth videos that explain this topic well on the internet and it can be a game changer since installation for electric mods on vehicles are very expensive
I wanted to install an ambient lighting kit on my car which cost me 60 bucks but the installation in my local shop is 1000 bucks
Glad the video was helpful!
My boy Chris uploaded let’s goooo I’ve been waiting for this. Bless up Chris I hope everything going well.
