-Magnetic Switch (Lights turn on when you open the tailgate
-Latching switch (to turn lights off if you want tailgate open but not have lights on)

Bought I believe everything off of Amazon

Started off with 10A fuse at the battery

Loomed power wire down engine bay and followed factory harnesses all the way to the back of the truck an up into the factory left rear tail light

The Magnetic Switch

Diagram I made for the switch that I used

All wires ran through factory existing openings

Here is a short video of how it operates

Hi All
I got the Ford blacked out emblems and the were too bright for me, so I took them apart and painted them matte black and Carbonized Grey to match the truck. Then I put matte clear on it.

I have tried and tried to remove the tailgate emblem. What is the trick?

I watched some U tube stuff. If i remember you remove the blue ovel with a plastic pry tool at the bottom then the 2 screw under that and you are set.

Maybe my eye sight is getting worse, but is that a Bakflip cover? If so, which one and do you have any leaking issues? I realize some leakage is going to happen, but would like your opinion now that you've had it a while. Thanks.
