I will fab a plate around the pipe in the bed to protect it. I did not want to drag the hose across the tailgate or bed top either.
I haven't done much research yet but the LED should be thin in comparison to the stock incandescent and LED's are sealed so there is no arching issue. I agree things would be tight.

I can't find any better pictures than these....
