Led tailgate light bar..

I just put one on my truck, it wasn't a bar, it was a stick on flexible strip with the LEDs embedded in a coating that was about 1/4" thick. Mounted it to the bed flange that sticks down behind the tailgate. It came with a plug that plugged right into the trailer plug, the reverse LED's I had to tap the included extra wire into the reverse light wire from the tail light. It seems to work fine. Only complaint is that the beds flange that sticks down past the bottom of the tailgate is short so you cant always see the strip if your behind me. It depends on how low the car is that is behind me. Mine was only $18 on amazon.

Back to the light bar. I gave up after the 2nd one, and went ahead and drilled 3, 3/4" holes, equally spaced, and installed 3 separate round LEDs, in the fashion you'd see on a dually pickup, or a big truck. They only work with the running lights though.
I'd post a photo, but don't have any on this 'puter, I'm 200 miles away from mine. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll do it when I get home.

I f you want to do a super clean install. I bought a trailer connection junction box and the 5th wheel adapter wiring harness. The harness plugs into the main harness under the back of the truck. I then ran the loose ends to the junction box that i doubled sided taped to the bed cross member. The harness has all the individual wires for 7 pin, then i tapped into the posts for each wire.
