Bed light switch is in.  Kit was $46 from gen5diy.com and I picked up an $8 surface mount switch on Amazon.  

 

Might have taken a bit longer than 10 minutes but not too much longer

I did this with the gen5diy switch as well as added the lights below around the bed... a massive improvement.  I mounted the swtich in the hole that passes to the "grab handle" in the top of the bed for a very stock look.

I'm going to move mine up there after I get the taillight assembly out.  Someone stripped one of the torx bolts that holds the assembly in place.  I can run the wiring through the hole behind the grab handle since I have the multipro tailgate.

I moved it over the weekend.  Took a minute to drill out the taillight torx bolt that was stripped.  Then I removed the grab handle, ran the wire through the hole behind it into the stake pocket, then down the stake pocket to the cavity behind the taillight.  Much happier with it now.
