Debagged Tailgate Partial and Diode Dynamics LED backup lights

[LyleLukas11]

So after doing some research I went with the Diode Dynamics 410 Lumens Backup lights.........

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was also pondering debagging the entire rear end but I just did the chevy emblem and glad I stopped there. Looks very even and cleaner on the rear end.

What color White did you pick?

 

Looking to do my Reverse and Licence Plate lights for starters.

 

I have an OPT7 Tailgate Light bar would like all those whites to match in the back.

XP50: Each of the four sides of this bulb contains two 5W-rated chips, and the top is fitted with two more under a projector lens. Housed in an aluminum casing with textured finish for maximum heatsinking properties.

 

 

This is the exact one I chose.........

Curious what technique you used to remove the tailgate badge? Heat gun and a scraper, or heat gun and fishing line?

I debadged my tailgate when I got my truck. Best method I found was to use a heat gun to get the glue hot then start at one end and start pulling it up with your fingers. Once you get it going you can angle the heat at the glue that's left holding it on. Most of the glue/double sided tape stayed with the decal. But whatever is left can be rolled off using your thumb and then cleaned up from there with goo gone
