I was wondering if anyone has put any lights on their truck that come on when the doors are locked/unlocked w/ the remote. Like some fords have on the mirrors, that shine on the ground so you can see puddles or whatnot. I have alot of crap in my car, and things fall out when I open the door sometimes, so lights would be helpful. And pretty cool I think. Maybe some White leds under the running boards or the mirror maybe? Ideas? Pics?

 

Never heard of this being done before but someones probably done it. I was thinking hmmm what about some white or colored under car lights like the Glowing ones that you can get for under the car (street glow) perhaps, just a idea.

 

I have been playing with the thought of lights to shine under my truck (more to light obstructions). Trucklight makes LED backup lights and interior lights. These are sealed housings and LED's won't burn out like a light bulb will.

They make steel brackets to hold both these lamps. My buyer gets them from the NAPA warehouse.

 

When I unlock my runner, the interior lights stay on for something like 30 seconds....So I'm willing to bet you could wire some LED's under the running boards (or rocker panels) into the dome light circuit. So whenever the door is open, those lights are on. Just an idea.

 

Those lamps look pretty nice. I might have to get 2-4 of them.

The interior lights are what I was thinking of hooking them to. I have lights in my footwells connected to my dome. I wonder if I can get a seperate power source for the external lights but have them come on and off with the interior lights. Maybe if I had a witch with a remote lead like one for the foglights and just leave it switched on, then whenever the lead got power the lights would come on.
Sound feasible? I have an extra foglight rocker switch just sitting around.

 

How about cleaning all the crap out?

No.

It's usually just things like hats or shoes or work/gym clothes. Or beer cans from passengers.
