i have the recon white lightening version. I really like it. it does have the white reverse lights, but they aren't that noticeable when backing up, especially if you have your foot on the brake. mine is cracked cause i put the tailgate down, without noticing something wedged in between the gate and the bed. I may replace it with the new extreme version, which has amber lights for the turn signals, whereas mine just has brighter red leds. I like the amber big rig running lights they have too, I've seen them on a dually and they look badazz. if you just want a red light bar, i'd get the plain line of fire. I think they are around 75 bucks right now.

Personally I'm not a fan of the 'line-of-fire' lights as some call them. I've never really seen one that stayed real straight when mounted and it seems like alot of the LED's go out fairly easily. I like the simple 3 LED I.D. bar that is 3 red marker lights right in the center of the tailgate. Clean, simple, effective.

If you want something that looks stock Ford, see:
Truck-Lite - Catalog Product : Model 15 Polycarbonate ID Bar
You didn't indicate what kind of "strip" you wanted.

I got the 4 function line of fires when they first came out on Amazon
and fits and looks good on my 05 Ex....
REALLY like the fact they the idjuts have to be exceptionally low on the totem pole to miss not only the HUGH Ex stopping in front of them, but also the bright brake lights !
They mounted really well under the doors ! and are protected there..

Well guys, I finally got one of these. The brand is OPTX (street glow) and my father-in-law got it for me at Advance Auto parts, they had it in stock for $59. The quality looks to be really good, and it fit like a glove and looks great. I too hard wired mine as I thought it would be cheesy just plugged into my trailer plug. Hopefully it will last awhile, but looking at it I dont see why it wont.
Oh and I did end up hooking up all the functions. I wanted just running and stop lamp part to work, but that would have required running a wire from the cab of the truck either from the brake switch or roof mounted light, as the brake/turn share the same bulb in the stock lamp. I may change it later but I didnt have the ambition to do all that today...it is christmas lol

I personaly agree with Enduro4321 100%. Those LED Strip lights are not the greatest. No matter what brand I ever bought, I had someone point out to me that the lights are not even and the brake and turn lights seems to fade out. I have notice this issue on other rigs , when they pass me on the freeway. I guess something happens to the solder joints inside. LED lights are suppose to last a long time, I would not buy those light strips anymore, waste of money...my 2 cents.. Shame,, they look cool at night.
I bought the same light as Enduro431. If you get the 3 light id bar that is made for the dually directly from Ford, it will fit the holes already made on the beds without the dually as well. No drilling needed. I hooked mine up to the trailer hitch plug. Took less than an half hour to install
Do a search on here under id light bar. A member on here did a great mod thread using this Ford OEM ID Light Bar. I think it cost under $40.
