Expert Answers about Chevrolet Truck Bed Lights


  • Switchable Truck Bed Light Recommendation for Truck Bed 7-Way
  • The Light Buster Backup and Utility Light # C8020 that you referenced is actually exactly what you are looking for. As long as the 12 volt circuit of your 7-way is active this light can be used. It has a switch on the light too which allows you to turn it off and on as needed.

  • What Powers Truck Bed Camper Lights and Clearance Lights
  • Typically trailer campers will have 7-way connectors that you'd run to 7-way socket in the bed of the truck which you could install in your Silverado truck bed part # 41157. This will cover the clearance light circuit and have the 12 volt power circuit for the interior lights.

  • Does the Bedrug BRQ15SCK Have LED Light and Anchor Point Tie Down Cutouts
  • You will need to use a razor blade to cut out the area of the Bedrug part # BRQ15SCK so that you have access to the truck bed light and tie down anchor. I attached a picture that shows a similar truck as yours where they cut out the portion of the liner.

  • Could Bargman 84 Series Trailer Taillight be Used on Flat Bed Truck
  • The Bargman 84 Series taillight part # 30-84-103 that you referenced can be used for what you are looking to do if needed. If you installed one on either side of the flat bed you be able to have stop/turn/running light/reverse light. The intended application of this is a trailer but it would work fine on a flat bed truck.

  • Accessing the Third Brake Light Wire on a 2014 Chevy Silverado
  • There are a couple of places you can access a dedicated brake light only circuit on your 2014 Chevy Silverado. First, you can tap into the circuit behind the third brake light on the cab of the truck. You can also get the signal from the CHMSL or stop light fuses. Use the vehicle owners manual and/or power distribution box lid to locate the fuses for the center high mount stop light (CHMSL) or stop light circuit. Another good resource for the third brake light wire under the truck bed,...

  • Recommendation for a Flood Light Intended for Outdoor Use
  • The Custer High Performance Utility Light, # S072, can be used for outdoor applications, such as to illuminate a truck bed. It will cover an area like a truck bed. This light works on a 12 volt system and uses a 55 watt H3 halogen bulb. A better option for a flood light would be # TL35FS, which can be used outside. Or you can use # TL46FS.

  • How To Wire a Truck Bed Converted to a Trailer
  • In order to convert the tail lights on the truck bed to trailer tail lights you'll first need to start with a wiring harness, the 20 Ft 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness part # A20WB. Then, depending on whether or not the brake and turn signals are run through different bulbs/wires you may or may not need a converter, the Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter part # 118158. If the signals are separate you will need the converter but if they are combined you can just hardwire in the above harness.

  • Wiring Utility Bed Combined Brake/Turn Signals to 2014 Toyota Tundra w/Separate Brake/Turn Signals
  • So if I understand correctly, you have replaced the bed on your 2014 Toyota Tundra with a utility type of bed. And this new bed has different wiring requirements than the factory Toyota lights. Is that correct? So, since the Toyota wiring has separate circuits for turn signals and brake lights, I assume that the new bed has combined lighting (brake lights and turn signals on the same circuit). To combine the separate Toyota circuits you will need a converter such as # 119178. Yellow...

  • Truck Bed Backup Camera Options For 2018 Ram 2500 With Gooseneck Hitch
  • I have a solution for you, however, there are not any custom-fit cameras to fit the 3rd brake light on your 2018 Ram 2500. I recommend looking into the VueSMART RV and Trailer Backup Camera - Wireless - Universal Mount - 152-Degree View # HM34FR. This is a very affordable wireless camera that can be mounted in the bed of your truck, specifically on the front bed rail behind your rear window so that you can easily see your goose neck hitch. This camera displays the footage on your phone...

  • Clearance Light Recommendation for 2-1/2 inch Hole In Flat Bed Truck
  • We have 2-1/2 inch clearance lights but they require a 3 inch hole for the grommet like part # A55GB to install. For that you'd want the part # MCL51RB. The next size down is 2 inch but the hole required is 2-5/16 inch which wouldn't work for you.

  • Wiring Multi-Function Tail Lights to Silverado with Separate Wiring
  • It sounds like a converter is needed between the truck's separate wiring and the combined wired tail lights on the retro-fitted dump bed. For this you can use the Roadmaster Brite-Lite # RM-732. You will take the brake light, left turn, and right turn circuit wires from the truck and connect to them red, yellow, and green wires (respectively) on the converter. The running/tail light circuit wire will bypass the converter and go straight to the light assemblies. The converter will then...
