LED Tailgate Bars

[chevy15]

alright, what's everyone's opinion on these? I am really on the fence, so that tells me I shouldn't do it but the more I see them the more I like them. what's everyone think? Seems like the biggest complaint I've seen in reviews is that the LED's burnout quickly and your left riding around with 2-3 lights out and it doesn't look very good.

 

for those who don't know what I'm talking about, see link below.

I have had mine for over 4 yrs on my 2010 and no burnt out lights. Make sure to buy a good product/brand

 

I got mine to add more visibility. Enough distracted drivers I figured this may help a bit

 

I have the fire and ice

Only trucks I see with those are chromed out with clear tails and often a spoiler, so that kinda makes me dislike the idea of them but it could just be my area. And yes they often have only part of the bar working with random bulbs burned out.

I've had this one on my 2010 GMC Sierra for a couple years now. No issues or LED's burnt out. Very pleased with mine.

I've wanted one as well but living in the north east I figured they wouldn't last long

Why?

 

Mine has seen temps off 100 to -20 with no issues

Ryan. Ice snow, and salt build up, seems like when I see them around there half on, like mentioned above, always figured it was due to winter

[RyanbabZ71]

Mine has seen plenty of snow and ice and salt over the years

+1 on that !!

Its really just hit and miss. I've always gone with the recon ones. I've owned about 8 of them on several trucks. One had a section burn out, one had a few leds flicker, one had a section of leds go dimmer than the rest. All happened at about a year when the warranty was up. The rest are still going fine.

I had one on my 2014 I just traded and loved it.The reverse lights were awesome

[henrypbui]

are there any of the lights that have a solid even light output instead of all the individual led look?

I just put one on today. Got an OPT7 60" and so far I like it, supposed to have a two year warranty that I hope not to need.
