Learn how to install LED strip lights in the bed of your truck or under the hood of your car for less than $30. I show you how to wire the white LED strip lights with a push button switch and a magnetic switch so when you open the tailgate the lights come on automatically and illuminate the inside of the truck bed.
You can also install the LED lights under the hood of your car so when you open your hood, the lights turn on automatically or with the push of a button. In this case we are working on a Ford Raptor pickup truck but the LED light installation process is the same on any vehicle.

Hey @ChrisFix! I just want to say thanks SO MUCH for your videos! I'm an 18 year old girl who knows absolutely nothing about cars and I've always been too scared to buy one, but with your videos I just got an amazing deal on my first car and it's in great shape! You also helped me prove my boyfriend wrong haha because I changed some brake pads, rotors, and did an oil change all by myself which was the coolest thing ever! So keep doing what you do because it's helping millions!! 🙂
I Wana buy a truck even though I don't need a truck. What kind of cheap truck should I buy
That was fun
Why do you have a N20 bottle is that for your driftstang? If that's for your driftstang that is good.
Actually a great idea, but if it was me I would connect it directly to the back light, sure the negative is you must have the lights on, but this would remove that long cable to the battery)
it blows my mind that your channel blew up in the last couple of years i’ve been sub since 800k
What about
N e o n l i g h t s
that is NOT how you crimp those, you want the point to crimp Into the split seam so it curls IN and grabs the wire.
Why do you never show your face? Everyone knows what you look like
What if i wanted to turn the lights on without lowering the tailgate?
Chris should have used a wire connector on the bolt from tailgate ground. Wire through nut and bolt can create problems later. That is a quick fix. Disappointing Chris did that after using connections elsewhere showing and tell you this is the proper way.
Come on guys, let's be honest.. it looks horrible on daylight !!
