For those who have swap out the factory tail lights to LEDs or other and have a big hole where the tailgate lights use to be, here's what I did. Sorry in advance for crappy cell phone pictures. EDIT: Got some better pictures.
Stop by the local Advance Auto Parts and found these.
Good thing is the factory plug fit into the housing so no need to cut the factory wire. One thing is the factory bulbs is too big so I swap it out with the bulbs from the kit I bought.
This is the end result, it's not as bright as factory because of the smaller bulbs but my goal was to cover up the holes and was not really looking for brightness. EDIT: Now that it's a little darker outside, light ouputs is not that bad.
Great work! The LED tails doesn't come with bed lights? Couldn't you just remove the factory ones from the stock housings and put those in the LED tails?

BBF you are awesome dude!
I have been looking and looking for something just like this. I was wanting to seal the hole from the outside as well and couldn't find anything I liked.
bbf maybe you can find a brighter LED replacement bulb to fit in those lights. I don't know what bulb # those are but it's just a thought if you wanted to brighten them up a bit.
Light output is not bad, I'm sure it can be made brighter but I do have an extra "Fog lights" mounted in the bed under the cover so that's pretty bright.
Like gtumblin said, I got it at Advance Auto parts. I would think most auto parts place should have it or something similar. Look in the trailers lighting section. There is plenty of room when the tailgate close.
Come with the Utility Bed Package:
Utili-track Bed Channel System with four tie-down cleats
• Factory-applied spray-on bedliner
• Driver-side lockbox
• Tailgate area illumination
• Bed-mounted 12-volt DC power outlet
I know this is an old post, but can someone take some more pics, maybe further away? And did you guys do this with the Volant tails?
