I install my light bars using a hot glue gun. Use the high quality super stick kind. Works great and holds up very well.

I'm in South Australia and just took it to a shop and had it hard wired without the turn signal because over here our turn signal's are yellow/orange still works good with the brake lights

They sell these with Orange blinkers u know?

Won't this rust?

I did use the supplied trailer connector !

Noah, I recommend first measuring the size of your tailgate before ordering a light bar. We currently have two different types of light bars for both 60" and 49" lengths, red and red with white reverse signals. If the 60" light bar will fit on your truck then I definitely recommend that one, but if not, you can't go wrong with the 49". Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns about the light bar!

Brandon, we made this video to show how easy it is to install the tail gate light bar with the included plug. If you want to hard wire the light bar rather than using the plug, you can absolutely install it that way.

i think you may be able to hard wire it into the existing 3rd brake light wiring, that way, you can also have a light that turns on when the door opens...

If you're going to hard wire at all, might as well hard wire the whole thing. Also: it's easier to splice right into the 7-wire trailer hookup on the left than snaking it up into the taillight like that. One last thing: Always get someone to help you with your tailgate. I don't care how strong you are. Those things can be slippery, and not something you want to drop unless you own a body shop.

Great video

say what you want but I've got one on my truck and did no drilling and no cutting of wires ... set it up with the 3m and took the wire for the reverse light ran it into the socket put the bulb in and closed it up ... call it what you want but I'm not drilling or cutting any wires on my 53k $ truck. hahhaha

yea i might do that too, how is it holding up? So all you did was put on the 3m and then it sticks on the tailgate? I dont feel like drilling on my truck either even if its the tailgate in case if sometime i wanna remove the lightbar.

What is the red wire for??

So.........when wired into a trucks reverse light harness these lights will not only act a backup lights & produce a white light but also turn red & act a extra brake lights & turn signal????

F 250 what did i do wrong ? Factory rear view in tail gate. White wire to backup lights. Going from reverse to drive on column my backup camera in mirror stays on, shift to park back to drive camera goes off. Seems to me when i shift out of reverse camera should go off as it did prior to hooking up light strip. Advice appreciated !

Iam putting one on my truck a Toyota Tundra

i don’t have the thing you plugged it in what do i need?

I am assuming you could mount it on the cab, but I have never seen it done. You would have to extend the wires.

Dylan, unfortunately our tailgate light bars only come in red and red w/ white reverse lights. However, we do offer green underbody lights, green interior lights, green wheel well lights and much more! If there's anything else I can help you with just ask I'll be glad to help! Thank you and have a great day!

if you haul trailers, can you run it a different way to still have your trailer lights?

If your truck doesn't have a flat 4 pin connection, all's you'll need to do is splice the wires from the light bar to your truck's signal wires. This will give your truck a secure, hard-wired connection. If you have any other questions just ask!

just a question haha. i dont really like these light bars anyway. maybe mount it on the cab?

Yes, our tailgate light bars can be installed on any truck and they are available in two different sizes, 60 inches, and 49 inches. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask!

We include a wire harness that will let you hard wire the bar to your existing wiring if you would like to do that. Let me know if I can answer anything else for you!

A cuestión . tailgate light is legal?

Bought these but didn't realize it was meant for a ford. What wires go to what if installing on a chevy that doesn't have the pug in on the trailer hitch?

I tried to install a 26 inch tailgate light bar on my 2011 Honda Ridgeline, however, the light bar interfered with the key lock for the under bed trunk and the lift handle for the under bed trunk. And suggestions, please. I returned the lightbar.

Unfortunately, there might not be anything you can do unless you want to cover the key hole.

It might be difficult to install a tailgate light bar to your Chrysler Pacifica because it is rounded and not flat/straight like most tailgates for trucks.

Could this possibly fit under my trunk lid on my 2003 Crown Victoria?

LEDGlow - Nice video / product. IF you remake this video for an update, I would consider showing a test of the reverse lights in the dark as well, with everything buttoned up (was missing from this final test). It would be great to see what it looks like from the cab direction, too, looking back to see how much reverse lighting it adds to the picture. Maybe even a before and after option to show the difference. I personally never liked cutting into and splicing OEM wiring as it is always a place for failure with rust and moisture. Electrical tape is a poor protector w/o some dielectric or other moisture barrier or shrink tube I believe there are products out there that would allow the merger at the actual light socket (pin insert or something), but that's something I would like to see for my install. Just sayin ... your mileage may vary. Electrons were probably killed in the filming of this video. The lawyers made me do it.

i just installed this on my truck...but when the head lights are on its hard to tell weather the brake is being pushed or not...kinda has one glow..any ideas?

How far from the bottom do you normally go up with the light bar? I have a 04 f250

I wonder if this would work on my pacifica?

Thanks for the comments!

Would this fit a chevy colorado

Not legal in the UK. sadly Good instruction, good video.

My 1997 Dodge Dakota doesn't have a lip between the bumper and tail gate, meaning there is no place for me to mount this product as shown in the video. Are there other alternatives for mounting this product, or is it simply not designed for my truck?

@ledglow

Thank you for the interest in our product! The tailgate bars need about an inch or so of clearance in order to be able to fit between the tailgate and bumper. If there is not that much space, then unfortunately, the tailgate bars will not work with your vehicle.

I have just installed it but left signal light bar doesn't work.

This item is designed more for a truck and is to be mounted just below the tailgate.

Can it be used as a turn signal ❗ Or emergency Lights, For Road service Vehicles❗

@ledglow

6 жыл бұрын

Yes, the tailgate bar will blink when the hazards are enabled and operates as a turn signal.

There should be a lip under the tailgate to mount the light bar so just verify that before we come up with another mounting solution. Also, if you don't have a plug port, you can wire the light bar directly into the rear tail lights. Let me know about the spot under the tailgate! If you have any other questions just ask!

Do you make one of these for a Yukon Denali?

We have 2 options, a 49" and a 60". You will need to measure the mounting location to see which size you will need. Installation steps will be the same as shown in this video.

You can hard wire this light bar as well, I am not sure on the process, but if you call our Technical Support Department at 1.877.LED.Glow they will be more than happy to walk you through the process. If you have any questions just ask!

i bought one of these, but returned the light bar because of this reason below. Question. i have an 02 Dodge Ram 1500. My 4 pin flat connecter on vehicle for trailer works fine. EXCEPT THE RUNNING LIGHT. My 7 pin connector on vehicle for trailer works fine. EXCEPT THE RUNNING LIGHT. What do you recommend? Thanks.

The reverse light wires do have to be hardwired, but the rest of the lights work with the flat 4 pin connection. If you have any other questions please let me know, I am more than happy to help!

I have never heard of this, but I am sure we can figure it out. Shoot an email to Jason@LEDGlow.com and I will have a Technical Support Specialist give you a call and we will get it figured out! Let me know if I can do anything else in the meantime!

if I don't have the flat connector on my car, how do I get the running light and brake light work? any that the same cable?

Our tailgate light bars were built specifically for trucks so it will be very difficult to mount to your 2003 Crown Victoria. Let me know if you have any other concerns!

+Ryan Titchell The screws will not rust because they are stainless steel and the light bar is plastic. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!

I wouldn’t have done that with the key on but whatever
