It will be interesting to see how they handle the seasonal heat and cold temps. However for the $$, there is little risk.

I wonder if they'll magnet-stick to a spray-in bedliner?

Currently have a 25 lariat and had back fusion surgery recently so unable to mod anything yet. These are in my cart a long with the new worksport nexus tonneau cover that need to be installed prior to winter.
Wishing you a smooth recovery and hope each day brings you a little more strength, comfort, and progress. Be patient with yourself and take the time you need to heal.

I installed a tonneau cover and the factory bed lights weren't bright enough for this old guy.

I was at Costco this weekend and picked up these under cabinet light strips for $28. They're rechargeable, motion sensors, and switch activated.

I upgraded the magnets to neodineum magnets (didn't think the stock ones would take a Bo Duke RR crossing jump) and stuck switch beside the 120v outlet

How are these working for you, now that you've had them for a while? I grabbed a set a month ago too, had the same brilliant idea, but took mine out. Mine, at least, sucked. The amount of light was great, and they stuck well to the bed, but didn't respond to the switch more often than they did, and rarely reacted to motion. Seemed like after a day they just turned themselves off.

Mine are working great.
I originally had them on "motion activation" but they drained quickly.
I changed the to work from the switch and they've been fine since.

Mine don't even seem to respond well just sitting on my workbench, regardless of what I set them on. Maybe I need to return this set and try again.
