For those wondering what the connection is used it is a Curt 55384 T Connector that is what you need to do a clean install.

Can you please illustrate what this looks like? Thanks!

I have had this installed on my 2006 GMC Sierra 3500 since they first came out (Only time I EVER purchased from a FB ad). This has been the best looking and highest quality light bar I've ever used, and I have been through SEVERAL. I used the mechanical clip install because it "levels out" the unevenness of a well used truck bed to give a nicer even clean look (versus the peel and stick). I also wired everything under the truck and all I can say is that this light bar is super cool, unique and just a bad-ass eye catcher PLUS it works as advertised and LASTS with zero burn outs or leaks thus far which is well over a year+. Get this one if you are on the fence.

Did you also cut the trailer wires for hardwired? I have a 06 Sierra also.

you're the only one who ever mentioned about a 7 pin adapter that was a genus idea i never wanted ti splice into the 7 pin like everyone else had suggested

To all that have a newer vehicle that have a 7 pin connector on the back of there vehicle that will take a newer curt #56584 is a better option because it eliminates having to splice into your tailight wiring..... the difference is the curt #56584 has the 7 pin splitter but has a 5 pin connector on the other end and the 4 pin will plug into the 5 pin and the extra empty wire is the backup lights that all you need is a crimp on bullet connector on the wire coming from your OPT7 reverse wire..... no cutting or splicing needed... Hope this helps

What's the difference between this one and 55384?

@sirbutchford

6 жыл бұрын

Joseph Tucker .... They both hook into your 7 pin on the backside of the bumper the same but the difference is that the #56584 has a 5 pin flat plug instead of the 4 pin flat plug and that extra pin is your reverse. It makes it so much easier because you don't need to tie into your factory reverse wiring up at the tailight because all the connections are done at the plug..... It took me awhile to figure out that the 4 pin plug will plug into the 5 pin plug on the Curt adapter but after I plugged it in and tested the leftover 5th pin I knew I discovered an easier way that breaking into the factory wiring... Good luck and I hope this helps you.

Good video on an A1 product! Here's my personal review of this light bar ... Purchased one of these w/ the red sequential signals for my "2004 Ram" - did the install using a CURT 55384 adapter harness + also used a short 2-way (2 into 1) harness for an added tow hitch light. Didnt use the 5-pin factory plug hookup at the bumper for anything other than its rear access plug for that CURT adapter. Did have to take the white to the left tail (for reverse) & did this splice where its harness comes up at the frame rail. All was completed within a few hours - all was working perfectly first try with no flaws - yes it all still works after months of usage - never an issue. There is a very short light delay which is of no concern to me - its very minimal - doesnt bother me & all I showed it to once installed never brought it up - it's not an issue to worry about. All lighting is very bright (brighter than most others I've seen in day or night) - Reverse will light up a parking lot - why would u need anything brighter? Ges u could just install some 1000 watters if u need to blind even yourself! BTW - I didnt even remove the tailgate for the install - marked a few lines where the top of the lite bar would be using a grease pencil - it lined up perfect first time - all 3 rows can be seen below the gate & above the bumper. As far as having spare tire access - (my spares in the bed under a bed cover) - if that concerns u than dont buy cuz u will block that access hole. Other than that my conclusion - very impressed with this light bar - highly recommend it - simply a good choice I made ... 'bar none'.

Wasn't about to cut the wiring for the tail light ... took the feed for the reverse light on the light bar , took some of the insulation off of that and took the reverse bulb out of my tail light and put it on the bottom of the bulb and then into the socket again ... works every time! No splicing, cutting ect.. ..

I have a OBT7 Redline Triple LED Tailgate light bar Installed on my 2022 Tundra 1794. Everything works great. No codes/errors on Dash. Then, I noticed on one of my house cameras that when going forward from Braking that the whole light bar flashed Yellow before red brake light appears. It's a quick second or so. Sometimes it does it and sometimes it don't. Has anyone experience that or can check their OBT7 lighbars. You have to have someone watch from behind maybe in a parking lot or driveway.

should have read further in the comments. saw that you'd already posted the link. thanks for putting up with me. 😊

Nice video install tutorial. Where can I get this splitter? Anyone knows the part number?

Just ordered this for my new colorado so excited to get it in tomorrow!

Curt 56584 is a 5 pin so you dont have to splice into reverse light.

best review of this out there man. nice job. i'm sold.

I liked the plug bridge adaptor you used.... Very well installed....

I found out on my 2019 that the wire harness is already set up for the reverse light. You just tap the splitter. Im pretty sure its the blue wire. You don't have to go to the rear reverse light.

Thanks for posting it. I was looking for a video of how it works.

For anyone that wants to do this... there is a much easier way. Open the loom on the trailer harness and spice a 6 Pin Douche Connector onto the trailer harness, then put the male end of that connector on the LED bar. done. 10 Min install. Most trucks will have a reverse wire in the 7 pin trailer harness.

Would you be able to give me a link on where you got that adapter?

Great vid. I am installing my new Opt-7 tri light bar and cannot see which side is left or right. I don't want to put it on upside down and have the turn signals backwards. Thanks.

The OPT7 logo should always read in the correct position. For the triple LED bar, the logo should be on the driver/left side of the tailgate.

Nice video, did you get your exhaust hung up on something? Sorry I’m OCD and it’s bothering me that your right exhaust tip is out further than the left.

Have a question if you can help out plz . I just installed the same light on my truck but after mounting and all my tailgate kinda blocks the reverse and Amber strip. The bottom strip you can see but the two rows of leds up top you have to get on the ground to see the yellow and reverse and ideas ?

My blinkers dont work, but hazard lights do reverse works, can you help pls thank u

you could of all so used a Connectors Quick Splice instead shaving off the wire and wraping with electrical tape

What curt custom wiring harness needed for a 2013 Ram 1500?? Thanks

Where did you get the 4 pin adapter to hide behind your bumper?

Where can we find the adapter you used?? I purchased the opt7 and would rather do it that way

i just installed this on my 97 dodge i got the one with 5050 smd all red turn signals where i think matches better with the dodge tail lights it flashes not sequential

There are connectors that have heat shrink ends. In my opinion, would have been better and cleaner than tape.

when u put it in reverse & have your foot on the break is the white& red on at the same time

@OPT7Lighting

7 жыл бұрын

If you push the break it will go only red.

one question if i may the white wire that is separate on the light bar gets tapped into the reverse light correct and 2nd question does this light bar has to be grounded ? because on that 7 pin to 4 pin adapter the white wire on the 4 pin side is used for a ground if everything what i said is correct please let me know

I had a question, I installed the same OPT7 triple light led bar with the amber singnal lighting. However, once I installed it, i hardwired it to the trailer connection wiring. My backup assist is disabled on the backup camera and the auto shut-off is disabled as well. Is there anyway I can get those features to work with the led still connected to my truck. I installed it on a 2017 F-150. The led light works great, however it thinks I have a trailer connected so the auto-shut off is disabled and the back-up assist is off the back-up screen.

I hooked mine up, looks awesome. The only thing is when my lights are on the turn signal flashed the whole bar red. When my lights are off but brake is on it light the whole amber part for the signal. Any ideas?

O it’s on my 2002 F150 lariat btw. I installed and mounted in the correct spot but it’s like my tailgate don’t allow you to see the top 2 rows of light. If you squat down you can see it is this how everyone’s is after install ?

Is that a 60 inch bar?

Ok so how do you get your spare tire out if you cover the hole with this light bar which you didn't said anything about ?

If I put this on a 2008 f150 with LED's and Resistors, will the amber scanning match my turn signals? Or will it be out of sync?

No mention of the access hole for the spare tire?

So I hard wired this light bar and now my turn signals do not work. Is there something else I need? I am installing on an '88 chevy

How difficult was it to squeeze that bar in without taking off the tailgate?

Does your spare tire hole have enough room to still lower your spare ? have you tried it ?? Thanks

What if you have a a back up camera and sensors? Will it still work? I heard it wont. Unless you hard wire it maybe?

What did you do about the spare tire log hole in that back strip where the light bar goes?

@OPT7Lighting

2 жыл бұрын

Fitment for the Redline Triple LED is based on the amount of Tailgate's available flat surface length-wise. If your vehicle has 48" of available space length-wise across the tailgate then the 48" version will fit nicely. If you have 60" of available space length-wise across the tailgate then the 60" version should be purchased. Spare Tire Access Port Accessibility: The Redline Triple LED will cover any existing spare tire access ports. However, the spare tire can still be accessed and lowered using the proper socket wrench from underneath the vehicle.

Is there a tailgate light bar similar to this but instead of the yellow turn signals it's either amber or red?

Isn't that a 60" and if so what did you do about the brackets on each end?

somehow it bothers me that the tail lights are all red (perfect!) but the light bar flashes amber for signals

Off topic question... what muffler/exhaust are you using? Sounds good 👍🏼

just looked at about half of the 34000 results on amazon for a "7 pin splitter with a 4 pin connector". didn't see anything close to what you used before i started going cross eyed. do you by any chance remember the seller or anything more specific?

do you guys not how the delay on purpose?

@OPT7Lighting

3 жыл бұрын

The 0.5 delay is normal if you are using the 4 pin connection, if you want to not have this, then the hard wire installation is recommended. Hard wire the light bar directly into the tail lights.

How's it doing now? I've read a ton of people love them at first but shortly after having them they start to see that the LEDs get weak in clusters and some go out. Tell me what you think please. Thank you.

I agree. I'd say you can do just that. No need to remove the tail light and dork with the factory wiring. I would also do a little more than just wrap the two wires together and throw electrical tape over it. That will work for a bit but will eventually work it's way loose. Solder that connection and slip some heat shrink tape on it to make it water proof.

If you are using an older Toyota truck or a truck with separate turn brake signal you will need a 3-2 converter or 4-3 converter depending on your vehicles set up to get the trailer connector setup. I used the CURT 58240 Non-Powered 3-to-2-Wire Taillight Converter. I am updating my lights with LED lighting. You will need a power resister for the older vehicles with the old style flashers. My lights work great except the turn signal function is still intermittent and the harzard function is not working for the OPT7 as I type this. The tech support at OPT7 has been.... well..... not really very helpful.... sorry OPT7. Hope this info helps.... I am sure this light bar is going to fantastic once I figure out the nuances....
