Thanks for the help everyone.
In the end i just went ahead and tried it direct to battery. No issues/problems trying 3 different styles of LED lighting - just for the few seconds to test. Thought i update should anyone else be in the same shoes.
cheers,

Re: T25 bed variations on rock and roll
My interior is a Bilbo's, and the bed doesn't have a raised platform over the engine bay. Regardless though, i don't think having a platform built up over the engine bay is really a waste of space, in fact it creates space as most people incorporate some kind of storage within it. Whatever bed you h...
