I don't know if this pic will work or not :( (and it may only work "sometimes", stupid geocities)

I took the plugs off my factory taillights and wired everything into it, it all just plugs right in :)

Edit: my truck only LOOKS crooked in that picture :p

It worked for me, but I figured it was only because it's my site and I had the "proper" cookies or something....

Try this instead? (http://www.geocities.com/votegop/flatbed/flatbed18.html)

I used Samurai lights also.
They are easy to mount and work great.

BTW - just use crimp on male blade type electrical connectors, they will slide right into the factory harness plugs for the tail lights, and you won;t have to cut a single wire ;)

Easy enough to rewire the new Sammy taillights and splice on Toyota plugs.

Are you talking about "Blue Lights" on the rear of your bed? If the answer is yes plan on getting pulled over in California, the only vehicles in California that can have blue lights to the rear are law enforcement vehicles!!~! and that is anysize light:eek: :usa: :eek:

I made it at work. If you would like one, just tell me a font type, size, color, and 5 bucks and you can have one, or anything else you might like.;)
