Oh I saw that one before ..... must have missed the amber ones. Lol. These things are definetly cool though and if you want something that seperates you from the rest of the crowd that already has a tailgate bar, these are the ones to get.

I have the same thing as Rengnath but the one without the sequential lighting, called the white lightning from recon, i think it works pretty good for added reverse lighting

Those reverse lights do make a difference. They can light up my whole driveway. Now I just need to change the reverse lights in the housings to LEDs so they match.

I hate waiting for shipping .... it takes so long.

When I ordered from Recon, they actually had the bar on backorder (I didnt notice when I purchased it) and it got delayed for about 2 months ..... that was the longest wait ever!

When you use LED's in the blinkers, the truck sees them as a blown out bulb because of the low current draw and the signals will "hyper flash", meaning they blink real fast like when you have a burned out bulb. The resisters are needed to add load so the ey dont hyper flash.
