I purchased the Touchlink bed lighting kit for my 2019 Lariat a few weeks ago. So far, I'm impressed.

Installation is pretty straightforward and the instructions are clear enough to figure out what's what and what goes where. I ran into an issue with the length of the leads going to the battery not being long enough, but I quickly spliced in an extension--hindsight, it was 100% my fault for not hooking up the harness BEFORE securing all of the stuff at the rear of the vehicle, as the instructions sort of indicate...which I didn't want to have to redo all of that. You will want to be cautious about drilling into the rear bed pillars, as the templates won't sit in a position allowing a flush fit, and there's a structure behind the pillar you'll probably want to avoid drilling into. All the hardware is provided for installation into a plain bed, spray liner bed and a drop-in liner.

The lights are plenty bright enough for whatever you are likely to need them for and give near 360° lighting. I'm not unhappy with the purchase.
