there were a couple of guys that have them on their trucks around here. they posted pics of em in a post about backup lights or bed lights. shouldnt be too far down the list if you dont feel like waiting for new pics to be posted.

Several people have those. But if you want one, don't hesitate. That is definitely on my list. I'm going to get one of those before I tint my taillights though.
I can't remember the name off-hand, but he posted just 1-3 pages back in the "Show Us Your 3rd Gen" thread. Then find all posts by him to get the picture. Or wait for him to get on, and post it up.

I am looking at getting one of these myself next week, but I my concerns are

1) This appears as if this cover your hole to get to your spare tire
2) Dodges don't have a standard 4 prong plug in. Would you then
a) hard wire it (says you can but difficulty level into tail light or would it need both since they function as blinkers)
b) just buy the 7 prong to 4 prong conversion plug
c) are you able to get the combo 4 prong 7 prong hitch lighting like that of a Land Rover

I think those light bars look good on the back of a truck. However, I saw one the other night where a guy must have tried to hard wire it and did it wrong bc when he turned on his turn signal the whole thing started to flash. That looked really bad. As long as it is hooked up right it is a pretty nice little mod.
