BED LIGHT BUTTON FIX!!!!!

[Czajka90]

So I’ve been doing some research on this nasty trickery that has played some of us. The lack on a button on the bed lights to turn them on. I found a picture of the bed light kit offered by Oracle and noticed that their Jeep gladiator had a button on the light. I also found that the 2019 Dodge Ram had buttons in the light too. Well attached are the pictures of the lights on Oracles Gladiator and you can slightly notice the top of the lights appears to have the RAM logo on them which you can also conspire to the Mopar bed light kit offered for the RAM, part number 82215272ab. I’ve also taken the liberty which I regret cause to take the light out of my gladiator and take pictures of the back side. Note, the lights are 3M taped to the bed, not clipped in. They will not stay in place if you take them out and put them back in. You will need to get new tap. The connections are the same as the RAMs. So for around $130 on Amazon, you can buy the kit and switch the lights, which have new 3M tape and ditch the harness that comes with it since you won’t be needing it. I am going to be ordering it shortly and will update.

Is there a bypass wire so the light can be switched on without turning on the dash switch?
Can you take a picture of the bed with the light removed?

Does that mean you can turn them on at will or does the bed light switch on the das ave to be on too?

I’m not sure about any bypass I’ve also noticed that the Dodge Ram light had two of identical connections for the left side light that has the button. The wire harness for the ram comes with two plugs. The Jeep gladiator has short jumper connectors that plug into the harness from the rear of the frame and then go up to the light about 1.5 foot cables on each side.

I'm confused. These lights come on whenever my Jeep is locked or unlocked.....just hit the unlock button?

This.. how do you control the lights now? I can't imagine that they are CAN. Do they work w unlock, the dash switch and the new switch in the bed?

Any one know if we could just take that stupid switch for the cup light and floor light and use it as the bed light switch ??

 

[#HuckleberryJeep]

No additional wiring needed to control them directly from that button?

Not sure what you are saying because like others here my bed lights come on and off when I lock the jeep or unlock it. I can turn it on or off manually by pressing the button to the left of the steering wheel that looks like a headlamp shining on the ground...I actually thought those were my fog lights at first.
