signals/lights in ends of bed rails on AD?

Putting my plans together and I have seen pics of trucks with small round lights in the ends of the bed rails.

Anyone know a source for some bright LED yellows or orange that will fit in there?

Searched but haven't found much specific so any help is mucho appreciated!

They are called "bed roll lights".

Would be pretty different putting blinkers in there.

Plan is for brake/running lights in a roll pan so something stealthy for the turn signals. Fills in those empty holes as well...

I found some white ones but no amber so far.

I know where to get all sorts of styles and sizes of LED's, so worst case is get the red ones and change out the lens.

Long time before I need them so I'll continue to hunt now I know the correct nomenclature!


solidaxel.. you got any projects to spare?

You mean these, Barjan 1 3/4 " they come in amber or red, you have to make an angle mount.

Those are a little larger than I want but definately an alternative.
