Tailgate led light bar


Recommended Posts

Posted

Looking for some tech advice, I just installed a light bar on my 2016 Sierra Denali and I need to connect the reverse light wire. What's the best place to hook it up. Thanks for the help 45d9cc75cbc230a18eaf74b54367da37.jpg

looks like some guys are tapping into the wires on the back side of the trailer harness, my 2500 Hd has a 5th wheel wiring harness at the rear of the truck,so im going to tap into there for my light bar. i didnt install yet how did you line yours up so its straight across?

I actually fit it in and mark it then took the tailgate off and set it in properly and plugged it the to the trailer plug but it has a separate wire for the reverse light. This is the one I got

Recon makes one of the best light bars. Ive owned 2 of them and both worked flawless for the duration. They have more lights than most and are brighter too.

i saw those but for $35 bucks the one I got is surprisingly bright ,someone I know have them on his truck for about 2 yrs now with no problems so I figured I'll give them a try

i haven't hooked up the reverse light yet ,I have to figure were to tap for a reverse signal. I did put 12v to it and it was actually bright. The quality and the light output is actually bright . You have to try these bulbs in your reverse light you will be happy how bright they are 9e74be10c1882d273e1d295f5e36538c.jpg70c5e1d27719f888c5671a3d16bf8815.jpg464ceb383fc205b6007e9dbdc19b6826.jpg

I'm not a fan of the ones with the reverse like because on most it cuts down on the number of lights in the bar for brake verses reverse lights. The bar I always got was just for the brakes and turn signals.
