Under tailgate lights
I'm rather fond of the led strip-lights that fit under the tail gate and signal turns, brakes, tail lights. Where are these available and are there a variety of them or they pretty much the same? Best prices? They hook up to the 4 way trailer plug, right?
Thanks!

You can get them at almost any parts store. They run about 50 bucks well thats what they were when I got mine last year. You can get the nice one called the Line Of Fire for I think its like 60 and it has the reverse light on it too. I dont know the website for that but you can google it. Yes you can plug it into the 4 pin trailer hook up or you can hard wire into the back of the plug. I hard wired mine in today cause I use to just plug it in but one of the prongs corroded. They are nice and make a truck look sweet.

I have the RECON Fire & Ice model. It has white LEDs for reverse as well as the red ones for everything else. It was about $100 CDN. Simple install, with the exception that I had to notch it out for the tailgate assist spring thingy on the right side of the tailgate.
I get lots of comments about the extra visibility and that it looks really cool.

i have a plasmaglow brand from Truck Accessories | Pickup Truck Accessories & Truck Performance Parts | Stylin' Trucks it is the "fire and ice" version, and looks great. where i live we get A LOT of rain and mine has no moisture inside of it. ive had it for just over a year, and no porblems. when you wire it in though, you will probably need to install a resistor into the parking lamp wire for the light bar. otherwise, you wont be able to notice any difference between the normal/bright when it flashes. i called plasmaglow and they sent me the parts for free. if i remember correct, i paid about 80 for the light bar.
