Jegs has these on sale just got the email - If I can get a plug type for the plug in under the bed I am considering ordering me these instead and putting at the cab end of the bed http://www.jegs.com/p/Hella/Hella-Optilux-LED-Worklamps/2889960/10002/-1

here is a site with the specs on them http://www.rallylights.com/all/optilux-model-4sq-led-work-lamp.html a little over 5 inches high wonder if they would be too big?

To me those would be too big and too bright for a bed light

Cool! I just ordered one of those. Do you like it?

My Sierra has em I'm thinking of adding a couple more. I'd really like a switch for them at the tail gate.

I dont plan on leaving the tailgate down for extended periods of time, so the tailgate operated switch would work fine. If the tailgate is going to be left down for several hours or days at a time, then I would tap into the existing cargo lamp circuit.

do you have the plug from the end of the wiring that goes into the module? If so what would you have to have for it?

yeah that is what I figured out after I went out and measured as well but the brightness would of been awesome in my case trying to find small parts in my boxes in the bed

Sure do. The cargo does not slide around, and my knees do not hurt when I crawl in the bed of the truck. I also like the finished appearance of it. It fit really well, and does everything I ask of it.

I will look, but I think I tossed them upon completing the install. Will let you know if I find one.

I spliced two GM sets together. I soldered the red and black wires together, and used heat shrink wrap to seal up the splices. Worked well..

i didnt even realize what a good option it was at the time when i orderd, but i didnt get the lights installed

I ended up buying the the plasmaglow led lights off amazon

placed them under bed rails

ran the wiring through the cab vents ( easy ) and up into the third brake light i tapped into the left and right wires of the white bulbs and spliced the ground together and tapped into the ground wire of the third brake light.

now when i press the button for the cargo light on the dash the lights come on!

Before all this I asked my dealer to, and they said "well its still a new truck we really dont know yet ......"

so it only took me like an hour and it was alot cheaper

OH!! and as for the wiring already being there for the lights ... did not see a single thing : (

unless its somewhere inside the truck behind the back panels

can you let me know exactly which wires you tapped in to. Thanks

Can I still easily install these with a spray in bed liner?

On a '14, there are prepunched holes under the bed rail that small clips snap into, and the mounting screws screw into them. As long as the bed liner material hasn't filled them in, you will be OK.
