Not that I can see.
I missed that in the posting - he posted all the part numbers - based on that list, it must be the KB3Z-14A411 A part. Best price I could find was $21.43 here:
I think it could if you can find the correct pins... I think those two little blue rubber plugs come out. I haven't played w/ it, maybe when I get home today I'll see what happens when I pull on the little nipple ends.
Ok, the two blue plugs come right out, so now you just need to find the correct blade style connectors that go in the plug and your set.
THANKS for looking at that! I'm pretty sure I can make something work. I'm wondering if I might even be able to re-use those blue plugs instead of using silicone - to weatherproof the wires. Will be interesting to see.Ok, the two blue plugs come right out, so now you just need to find the correct blade style connectors that go in the plug and your set.

Well, I got something that works. The silicone plugs were easy to remove, so I removed them and then used some molex pins I had and flattened them and soldered some wire onto them - they went into the plugs easily:
How exactly did you tap into the power supply from the third brake light, then run the wires? When I had mine out, I noticed that there is only one hole in the "tray" under the third brake light, and I have no idea how to run wires through that and into the cab without pulling the headliner, which I'm not planning on doing. Any pointers??I went the same route as MT19Ranger, purchased a set of 60" NiLight LED strips. Got a deal, two 60" strips for $25. They have industrial 3M tape as the method of connection but also came with physical clip mounts which I did not use as I didn't want to drill into the bed frame to secure these cheap lights. I'll just replace the tape or lights if the tape starts to fail.
I currently have mine wired into my center mount light to come on with the two factory bed lights in the center mount (entire center mount upgraded to LEDs). I've done this so that when I press the factory bed light button in the cab these LED strips come on at the same time as the factory center mount bed light.
I may change how I've wired it but plan to keep it linked to that center mount so I can use the in cab button to activate.
You can see in the image of the rear window, the small black wire from the center mount is routed behind the rear glass and then is visible where the bed butts up against the cab. I really wanted to fish the wire from behind the center mount to the underneath of the truck and connect but was unable to figure out that path quickly so I decided on this connection for now. I much prefer a cleaner wiring but it's not terrible and isn't very noticeable I think...thoughts...
Images in order:
~Bed with no lights on (no flash)

~Two pics of the LED strips mounted to the underside of the top of the bed frame right where there's a handy angle as it meets the top. The angle was perfect for facing the LEDs slightly inward vs just straight down.

Nice, I did almost the same exact thing, could you post a pic of the switch and where you mounted it, I'd like to try and change mine to that setup of a switch.I put some bed lights in today. I used the dummy connector from bed power wiring harness. It was pretty easy, I pulled it off and made some connectors with molex pins like @RedlandRanger did. I also put some lights under the hood with a switch that is activated by opening the hood.
