Tailgate LED bar
Anybody have one of these LEB bar's that fit between the tailgate and the bed & show brake & turn signals?
What do ya think of em, worth getting, would you get one again & if so, what brand.

I've had two over the years. Personally love how they look, however most are made with very poor quality. The first one I had died within 2 months of owning it, and the second made it about a year.
My advice is if you do get one, first read reviews about the product you're buying, and secondly you'll most likely want to seal the electrical connections you make and the ends of the plastic tube (if it is tubular) with good sealant. Condensation kills these things so fast.
All that being said my favorite is either PlasmaGlow's Firestorm bar or Recon's Xtreme bar. Scanning amber turn signals and white reverse are nice touches.
Here's a vid of the Recon in action:

I personally like them I like the look and function. Just make sure you find one that is sealed well from water etc. If its not you can end up with burned out led sections of the bar over time.
Another thing to keep in mind is you have to be careful how you mount it. Remember the body is now aluminum if you use steel self tapping screws like they provide for most of these brake light bar kits it can cause galvanic corrosion. Automotive tape may be the best bet for this type of install.
