Added some lighting to the shell, some PICS
Was wanting some better lighting for the shell so I got some led strips, think I will get some cold cathodes next time. These were nice since I could just run a 9 volt on them and not deal with anymore wiring then crimping on a 9 volt battery case.
Oh I will be cleaning up the wiring tomorrow and maybe the bed rug too
My camera sucks at getting this kind of lighting to look decent:

Light output is alright, would prefer it to be a little brighter. I will have more feedback when I use it in a really dark area on Thursday. But it is more than the bulb that came with the shell could put out.

Got them on ebay, I will get ya a link. They are about 4' long and flexible.
Yea, they each have a 9-volt battery case with switches on the case.

Took about 10 days to ship since it was Hong Kong.
He has some other stuff in his ebay store that I just found that might be a little better...

That will probably be what I end up going with actually.
Nothing else back there yet. Still have to wire in my third brake light and will be putting in another 12V source back there. Was actually thinking I should head to vatozone and get some of that weatherstripping.
Got it used, and just picked it off his truck and set it onto mine, didn't check underneath to see if it was still there. Just more stuff to fix in the coming months...yay...

It's not bad to put on. It's like $20. All you have to do is take the cap off, put the stuff on the shell or the bed rails and set it back on and you're good to go.
