Wire taps. Wiring for people that can't solder. LOL. They're prone to corrosion related connection issues especially around here where the relative humidity averages 90%. Solder and heat shrink if you never want to have to worry about your install ever again.

I was an installer for Circuit City for nearly 15 years, and every connection we made was soldered. I still do that to this day doing side jobs, and work on my own vehicles. I've seen way too many connections go bad due to corrosion.

A solder and glue style heat shrink connection will still be good when the vehicle goes to the big junk yard in the sky.

I installed bed lights last weekend and wired them to come on with the stock bed lights.

We'd love to see pics of your bed lights!

It's actually much lighter in there than the picture shows. My phone doesn't do it justice.

Very cool product, nicely done!

Side question - what is the spec of the wheel/tire setup you have on the Gladiator? Looks like Fuel Shok perhaps, but wondering the size/offset/backspacing/tire size. The stance looks perfect without too much tire outside the fender. Thanks!

Which one are you referring to?

I really like these BUT I had an issue with Oracle lights on our Camaro with the color matched smoked marker lights. Website stated lifetime warranty yet when I contacted customer support she said they would offer a one time replacement but that was it which confused me. With the color matching and options they were not cheap to last less than 2 years. I assume these would be different since they are not on solid like marker lights, maybe they would last longer?
