LED Under Rail Bed Lighting

[Todd1982]

Just got a set of the OEM lights 20979073 for my 2014 Silverado.

 

My truck came with a set from the factory , but I wanted to add the extra 2 like everyone else has done .

 

I don't see the place to mount the extra 2 in the bed .

 

There are no spots to screw them in , unless I make spots 

 

Any ideas ?

When I put a second set in I just measured a good distance between the two drilled some holes put some plastic clips for the screws bolted them up

My kit came with the clips for the wires .

 

I am mostly concerned with how to attach the lights to the bed .

 

Drill holes ?

I used the square plastic license plate screw holders.

There are no other factory locations for the lights if you have the "short" or "standard" bed (they are only supposed to have 2 lights).  The kit should have come with self-tapping screws.  I just held the new lights where I wanted them up under the rail and used a cordless drill with a nut driver to run the screws in (stop before they go all the way then finish the tightening by hand or you will crack the plastic tangs on the housing).  After that just run the wire loom from each light back toward the existing lights and splice the wires together.

Does anybody on here have an 8 PIN connector left over they would like to sell? I got the 6 PIN with the kit I purchased and I need an 8.

The six pin for the '16 and up harness with both Stop Light and Cargo light wires is back in stock on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C488SBN 

 

The 8 pin harness is available on ebay.  User mtushmoo
