$109 for the light bar and $24 for the adapter from realtruck.com

That's not bad at all.

Just placed an order with them. I'll have questions later.

I have the same light bar on my truck (2 years and no burnt out LEDs "knock on wood"), I used the behind the bumber 7-pin T adapter with mine also. There are so many people around who don't pay attention to their own vehicles let alone everyone else. I want other drivers to have as much warning as possible if I am stopping or turning. Hate when people have burnt out lights and you can't tell when they are stopping or turning, most people seem to have forgotten what blinkers are.

OK, where do you hook up the red wire for constant 12v and the white wire for the reverse light activation?

 

Thanks for your help.

[SparkySparks]

I used the trailer plug to power mine and taped into the tails for the white wire.

I ran the red wire into the 7 pin connector under the rear bumper.

 

I ran the white wire into the drivers side reverse light (green wire in the middle of photo)

 

hope these help

 

also dont forget to hook up the red wire under the hood too

Where EXACTLY did you connect the RED wire from the strip? I can't tell from the picture.

 

Thanks in advance.

I used the red wire in the 7 pin connector behind the bumper. if you go under the truck right at the bumper you will see a variety of different color wires (right behind the license plate area). Use the red one.

F I N A L L Y got all my ducks in a row!!!

 

A few things learned by experience:

 

Use the wire taped to the bundle below the brake master cylinder and run it up to the smaller of the two studs on the front of the under-hood fuse block. Install a 40 amp j-case fuse an it's ready to send 12 volts back to the trailer connector.

 

You can tap into the wiring of the t-adapter instead of the truck wiring. The contact directly across from the real wide one is 12v dc, and the one in the center is the back-up lights. I chose to hook it up this way to keep from messing with the truck wiring and I was too lazy to pull a taillight. Being really anal, I also whacked off about 2 feet of the 4-plug wiring and connected the plug back on so it would be neater up under the truck. It works great and really lights up the night.

 

Now, maybe Granny won't run up my *ss!

 

Thanks to Ryan!

I'd sell you mine....only used for a year and a half. Everything works

[RyanbabZ71]

Just thought I would add when backing up in the dark the white LEDs really help light things up behind you.

[BigBlueLB756]

Are we going to mount one on our Tahoes, or would that be too much?

[RyanbabZ71]

My wife got her turn signal mirrors last week and doesnt particularly like the light bar. My lil one does, he goes up to it and touches it

[jpierce575]

I just got my light bar a couple days ago.

 

Ryan, are you gonna come help me install it?

 

 

J/K, thanks for the write-up and pics.
