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. Be sure to check out The Straight Pipes car reviews!

Yo umm Chris fix i have an idea as a fun project maybe of you have the time and way more then enough money maybe you can buy an bus that needs repairs and then fix it up and customize it to your taste and make it a minihouse for long distance travels (probably would be expensive) so if you do make it only make it if you have way more then enough money although if you make it it would be hard and if you post a video of you fixing it may you not time lapse so we see everything you see and do but only do this if you have more then enough money and time

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! :)

chrisfix, looking to do this to my truck but not sure if I want to go the magnet route, just a fan of the switch, I noticed you took the switch wire and connected it to the magnetic switch and that was grounded. If I choose to do without the magnetic switch which wire becomes my ground from the on/off switch?
reply

You could have ties into the trailer power in the back. Its already back there, instead of running a wire all the way back there. The center spot on a 7-wire plug is always hot, as long as its connected at the battery. GM trucks come with the wire, but it has to be connected at the battery.

Am I the only one that cringes with that ground connection? I mean after all that silicon, heat shrink and ring terminals to then terminate bare fragile ground wire strand on a thread like that.
reply

I didn't see the silicone that you were using in the description. I very well could have missed it. is it dialectic grease or is it actually a silicone gel or some sort? thanks
reply

Could this be modified and wired up directly to the existing bed cargo light so it comes on if you flip the factory cargo switch in the cab, open any door, use key fob, etc?
reply

Hey ChrisFix, bought the stuff from Amazon, but the wiring diagram for the latch switch is different than yours. Can you say what each cable was for? C, NC, NO, etc?
reply

I can't be the only one irked that he did the whole job clean as hell then just threaded a bolt over a bare wire for the ground instead of a ring terminal, etc.
reply

I have a question, why didnt you just steal power from the running lights in the rear. The LEDs should not interfere with running nor break lights etc.
