The attachment limit is 5mb, and the original video is 25mb. I was struggling to find a format to convert to that's within the limit. The avi was the 1st one I found that worked and I ran with it.

Learning curve for me.

I like them! It reminds of the Ford Raptor front LED lights!

Interesting. This would be ideal if the price is reasonable (not shown on website right now).

Yes I agree...it would not be blocked by the bumper and would also shine on the hitch!

I took the time to hard wire mine which I thought was a better look.

BTW, I splurged a little and got the one with sequential amber turn signals - mustang style. There are so many out there that it was hard to determine what I believed would be best, but I'm pretty happy with mine.

It's very bright, and so many leds that it looks like one solid line, unlike one I had before. The solid line, I think, gives it a very nice, clean look.
Do you recall the brand name of the light bar, really like the looks. I found this online but not sure if it's the same: https://www.carid.com/putco/60-switc...VKiRoCWkzw_wcB

That "looks" like better quality than the two I had. I remember one of them was a Rampage. $200?

On edit and search, the other one was a "Fire & Ice". Looks like both of those are at the lower end. Perhaps if I'd done more research, I might still have one. I don't recall there being a lot of choices then.

From Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HUJW75O..._t2_B00Z8TGR4G


From the manufacturer:
Redline Triple LED Tailgate Light Bar with Reverse & Sequential Turn Signals - OPT7

A bit cheaper directly from them.
