Nice.
Would like it to turn white when going in reverse to help out camera vision.

OP, I like it, but did you Photoshop or is it a real mod?


More pics pls. If the colour and intensity of the strip don't match with the tail lights, it won't look good.

Not real. Recheck the first post.

The references to Dodge is a compliment, I think. Chrysler has some of the better designs over the past 10 years.

The stock led taillights are not very visible from directly behind in rain. I'm going to add a lightbar under the tailgate because the truck can "disappear" in heavy rain that we get daily for about 6 months a year.

I feel exactly the same about the OEM LED tails. Here's my ID bar.

Doesn't look perfect, but I'm using paint... You get the idea...


I'm really starting to like this.

Looks a lot better than the LED strips everyone puts along the bottom of their tailgate. Would be cool if Ford did something like this. As an aftermarket mod it would be questionable.

I agree. Without integrating it into the tailgate, it would look terrible. It would need to be flush mounted.


Another way it might not look terrible is if it was tinted. If the tail lights were smoked to match, it wouldn't stand out as much when the lights are off. At least on my magnetic truck.
