I got my Rev from FORD today. Looks great so far. Next step is bed lighting and I have searched the forums and can’t find what I found a couple months ago. Instead of the flexible cables with tape on every light fixture, there were hard plastic tubes in either 48 or 60” lengths. Those are the ones I am trying to find.. I searched through a bunch of YouTube links. No luck
they were a bit more expensive than the $24 amazon ones and I planned to d
hook them up using the directions from the FORD accessory lights. Which means they will come on when the fob is pressed or the doors are opened. Thanks

Maybe I'm confused. I have a 2024 Ranger XLT and it came with bed lighting on both sides of the bed you turn on by a switch next to the head light switch.

You are not confused, but even upgraded versions of those to LED is still pretty dark. I want/need lots of light. I also want to be able to turn them on with either the key fob or when the door is opened.

I'm confused. After reading this I checked my 2024 Ranger Lariat and I don't have rail lights. Could the spray in liner have covered them? When I hit the switch only the lights on either side of the 3rd stop light illuminate.

Your Lariat should have bed lighting. Mine does about halfway down the bed above the wheelwell. There is a clear lens that projects the light about 45 degrees.

I Don't know what I did wrong when I first tried to turn them on, now I am able to turn them on. Thank everyone for the info and feedback.
