Default Tailgate LED lights

Anyone got under tailgate LED pics. I am thinking of getting some, but probably not the long single bar. Two shorter ones may work better.
Anyone got them yet??

I purchased the Recon Xtreme one and love it. Looks great and is very funtional. It is the long one piece though so I don't know if it will work for you but they may have a two piece.

How does it look? Just wondering how well or if it blocks the hole for the spare tire access underneath.

I have the recon one piece. Works well, but you never get an even light output out of these due to some of the LED'S being slightly out of place. You can really notice this at about 10 ft. and beyond. I have looked at others and they are the same.

Is that with brakes applied or just the lights turned on?

I have the Recon Xtreme which is the full width 60" bar. It misses the spare tire crank hole if you install it correctly. I like it. At first I thought it was a bit ghetto with the scanning turn signals, but now I am used to it and have had several positive comments on it. Plus it improves visibility from the rear on turning and slowing down.
