Anyone ever put one in? A Tailgate Light Bars that go under the tail gate? I have been looking at them and I want one that is hard wired. Where can I find A ok place to tap into? Any advice?

Recon makes some too that my buddy's have used. They started with the line of fire, then both upgraded to the Fire and Ice bar (does reverse). Install is a snap (two sticky pads) and as far as taping in somewhere, they come with the 4 pin trailer plug so it is plug-n-play. If you truely wanted to hardwire it, you could tap into your tail lights like I did for my toolbox lights.

im not sure what kind i have, but its from advanced auto, my parents got it for me for christmas, just a red one, not a fancy reverse one, cause im pretty much flat broke so i cant afford the upgrade, but i tried the stick pads and failed horribly, so i zapped in a couple of self taping screws, and used the 4 pin connector, good to go.

How did you fit it over the spare tire hole? I've thought of one of these but that thing is directly where the bar would go. I'd hate to have to rip it off to change a spare.
