Depends how dark they are.I have never personally owned some but I have seen some really dark one.The night you shouldn't be worried about,its the day when they are hard to see.

hope this answeres your question...and if your wondering, that bar is the fire&ice...it has white led's for reverse....i love it...you can plug it in to your trailor lights, or you can hardwire it...i hardwired it, and i also attached it perminately to my tailgate so i can tuck it in high and deep, so it can be seen when unless your at eye level when turned off...also, with it perminately attachd to my tailgate, it folds with it, if i didnt do that, i couldnt have hidden it so nicely...its worth the money imo...

i do think i might niteshade my tails and cargo lamp however

Nice truck Night Runner! Most states it is required to have a red reflector visable.

i would believe you are refeering to my pics. that is called a Fire & Ice light bar, it is made by Plasmaglow. for the rams, you would need the 60" bar, which you can get from their site for $180. mine is a 48" (well i do have a 'midsize') and retials for $160. i bought mine new off ebay and i think shipped i paid $120...maybe a little more, ive had it for a while...they have a new one called the Firestorm, which is kickass, but i dont like the amber lights, plus its another $100
