RECON 26417 Bed Rail Light Kit - Manual (Page 14)

NOTES:
There are many alternate ways of performing this mod. I choose this way to limit
permanently altering the truck (ie drilling) and to avoid using the packaged cheap clips
with 3M sticky tape that would not allow for altering light direction and would likely fail
after several cleanout of the truck with a hose..
As mentioned, lighting activation can be achieved in many different ways each with its
pros and cons. I achieved it thru the use of a toggle switch tied into the trailer hitch
power source so as to be active ONLY when the key is in the ignition. This prevents
lights from being left on inadvertently and draining the battery. Pin switch in the tailgate
would NOT allow you to drive with the tailgate down and lights off if say you had a long
load in the bed thus burning valuable LED lifespan when not needed.
For those that want even more directional LED control…you could cut the PVC conduit
in between EACH light pod and insert typical pipe couplings allowing each section of
tube containing a light pod to rotate independently allowing alternate lighting options. I
thought this was excessive and unnecessary in my case.
HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL AND ENJOY!!!
My fishing buddies and I absolutely love it!
