You must have a tailgate step....that keeps the tailgate in place when lowered

They're just T15 912/921 bulbs. I have some inexpensive ones I got on Amazon that are almost 5 years old now. They were in the cargo lights on my 2012 and I pulled them out and put them in my 2018. You can't buy the exact bulb anymore but here's a link:
Amazon Amazon

They were $8.49 for a 4 pack. Loads of choices on Amazon.

This is awesome. Do you have any close up pictures? This one is pretty blurry. I'd love to see how flush they sit against the plastic. Also interested to see how they fit in the hitch. Thanks!

Here you go. Added a dimmer switch and these are all wired up with the front raptor lights on a toggle switch

Haven't seen anyone doing this yet. It would be cool if someone picked up on it. Raptor LEDs in the front

@dkj313 can you drill those holes in place, or do you have to remove the plastic?
