if you do decide you want it allot quieter inside the cab, go to pep boys and get their rubberized under coating. degrease and pressure wash your undercarriage and spray the hell out of the cab trying not to hit brake line connections. you will be amazed at how much more quiet and solid your truck feels and sounds.

the gallon kit should easilly do your bed i did my bed which is only 5 foot, both bumpers, around the fenders, rockers, about a foot up the doors with a gallon if you want to do more than the bed you might need the extra quart though as a factory bed would probly take alote more than mine did

yeah ill get some pics for you tommorow,but its not hard to do at all.There are 3 screws that hold it on,so i hope you dont mind puttin 3 holes in your cab plus a 4th one for the wire to go through. But u will have to make the harness to plug into the plug on the light because as you know there is no wires ran up to the cab for a light.All you have to do is get some wire crimps and crimp the end of the connector to the socket, one is ground and one is power.I just put the ground wire on the ground with my sub behind my seat and ran a wire to my tailight and spliced into my brake light.Theres really nothing to it just time consuming. But its well worth it. Ill get you some picks

sorry couldnt get any pics of the harness that i had to make to plug into the brake light harness, my camera decided to break today. But just get some slide female connects and slide them onto the prongs in the light harness and crimp them down good, one is ground and one is power and you cant mix them up it goes eaither way. I just crimped the connector on and then wrapped it really good and tight in electric tape, just make sure the connectors dont touch each other, and then i ran the power wire back to my brake light cut the wire that goes into the bulb and put both wires together with wire nut and wrapped in electric tape. There are two wires that go into the brake bulb one for brake light and one for parking light, the one you need to splice into is the solid colered one, the other one is solid with a stripe thats for parkin lights.I hope this all helps you out the best i can without pics. As for my corner lights and brake light yeah they are really bright, but i didnt buy covers i painted them black with a light coat of taillight paint and they look sweet, my turn sigs in bumper are also blacked out
