This is what I bought last year minus the reverse lights.

Works great, very bright and haven't had any issues.

I received one similar to this one here for Christmas from my Dad. I installed it last month and ended up notching the bump on the passenger side and messaging it flat with some brass stock and a 3 pound hammer. After install I wired it up a few days later. I cut the plug (wish I would have looked for the T connector for removal sake) and soldiered the wires in. In between testing and assembly I lost running lights, but I am not that upset about it. Also during install I managed to break one of the 3 wires that go from the "controller" to the light, after the plug. That may have been where I lost the running lights. Those wires are super thing. Granted there isn't a whole lot of current going through them, but man they are fragile.

Ok ordered mine today from Walmart since it was the cheapest. I also ordered this (well actually ordered the 5 pin version) so I don't have to splice into any wires and it remains behind the bumper and plugs remain fully usable.

What was the verdict on this install?

Well... I should have read this post first...
I just received my new Opt7 with RED sequential turnsignals.. now i see the tailgate alignment bracket is in the way... damn! I waited for them to produce the RED turn signals..
So, it's for sale... $75 picked up in central NJ, Staten Island or the Queens/Long Island border...

This is the bracket I'm referring to.
Is this bracket on all 2015-17 F150's?
The first picture is looking under the tailgate & above the bumper and shows the area where the Opt-7 brake light is supposed to be mounted. The bracket, washers & hex screws prevent the light from mounting flush to the body. This bracket is about 8-10 inches from the right side of the body.
The second picture if from the center looking toward the right side of the truck. Sorry for the rotation.

What I can tell you in my 2013, I ordered the 48” one because of a “bump out” of the sheet metal itself on RH side.
I really like the OPT7 sequential bar that I also put one on my 79 year old father’s truck too because he liked it and wanted one! Lol!

Sorry guys, I didn't realize I was in the wrong generation of trucks. I did start another thread and I was advised that trucks with the tailgate step are equipped with this bracket...
I'll see if Opt-7 will accept a return.. if not, I'll list it for sale.
Thanks for the help..
