Under tailgate LED's
I've got one of those LED lightbars installed below my tailgate. I can't recall the brand. Anyway, it's one of those with the running lights, stop lights, turn signals, and backup lights, all wired into the pigtail for my 7 pin trailer hookup. The other day, I inadvertently backed into a pile of snow, and now nothing works on it. I'm suspecting the ground broke loose, and hopefully tomorrow will be able to look at it closer. But, I'm wondering if anyone else has something similar, and what I could expect as far as longevity. Any problems? The 7 pin still has power.

Turns out the snowpile and backing into it was coincidental. After fooling around with the ground for awhile, with no luck, I took a closer look at the bar itself where the wires enter. It's burned and discoloured. Looks like I may have found the problem. The dealer will be seeing me soon.

I just replaced the bad one with a Rampage. If this one goes, I'll do the same as yourself. I always had those on any F250 on up I've had. I've a new in box three light LED just sitting here. I just thought it wouldn't be "quite right" on a 150.

I just put on a set from vato zone and so far i like them.
The glue backing seems very strong...
Will see how well the led's hold up... but twice as bright now when backing dat a$$ up.
Dont remember the brand but i just got the brightest ones with the button on the package to test the lights. Each light strip is about a foot long.
