That's my current plan. I took off the cover, it couldn't be easier. The bulb
is like a glass fuse, and it clips into two upside down "U" like metal things,
so wiring through those will be a snap, and putting a toggle switch on won't be
hard at all.

My Dodge bedliner has no drain holes (pain in the a$$), and tapping into the
parking lights doesn't sound simple. I think I'll just put a switch towards
the tailgate, and wire it to the battery.
