As soon as I get my Touchlink Bed Lighting from Ford installed, I will definitely post a write-up with pictures. Yeah, I can understand the light kits that don't cost $250 maybe being a better option. The main reason I got the Touchlink kit was because it was initially advertised as working with the key fob. So I was thinking the lights would come on when you unlocked the doors or when the interior lights came on. Time will tell. Hoping the truck arrives today or tomorrow.
This is the description from the F150LEDs site:
That is what I am expecting. For the cost it should do that...lol!
One thing to think about about if it goes in and off with other lights. I had this kind of set up originally on a prior pick up and ended up changing it to a separate switch. Reason was the bed light would turn off when the lights automatically turned off. So whenever I would shut my pickup door, the lights in the bed would stay on for a short while and then automatically turn off. They never stayed on long enough to do what I wanted to do. Ended up putting in lights that had a switch on the actual tonneau cover. This way the lights would stay on as long as I wanted them to. And since I never needed the bed light on without being at the back of the truck, it was no extra work to turn them on or off at the back.
Ideally they are tied to the circuit for cargo lamp and could be left on with the switch on the dash but it's hard to tell if that's the case or not.
