Tailgate light bar

Did you tap into the tail light or the 4 pin trailer connection? I was thinking about getting the 5 function version of the bar and tapping into the 7 pin receiver.

I tapped into the 7 pin harness. My lightbar was full function. Running light (I did not wire that) brake light, right and left scanning turn signal and white light when in reverse. I also had to wire the 12v+ for my light bar in the 7 pin harness.

Thanks for the info, that's definitely the route I'm going as well.

The bar from custom dynamics comes with a 4 pin trailer plug so you don't have to splice anything, just plug it in.

I'd rather hardwire so the connections are concealed and I don't have to unplug it every time I'm pulling something that has a 4 pin harness.

Yea every light bar I researched had a 4 pin plug but for various reasons some people choose to hardwire them in. I hardwired mine since the 4 pin functionality did not operate all the features my light bar offered.
