That's a great deal! Did you hardwire it or use the 4 pin connector? Did you have to splice into the reverse lights to get it to kick on in reverse?
Got any pics??

The reverse lights should be wired into the harness plug because a lot of trailers, campers, etc. have reverse lights.

The 4 pin doesn't have reverse lights, you need to wire it in.

Ahh, ok... That's what I was wondering...

I think I might scoop up that LED glow light bar... It should help when I'm using my reverse camera in very dark parking situations with no street lights.. My reverse lights suck with the blacked out taillights..

It should be easy to splice considering I already have an easily accessible spliced wire running off the black/pink reverse wire that triggers my camera when reverse is selected..

So I'm assuming there is an extra wire hanging off these LED's that gets connected to the reverse wire?

I had this for about a year and half. Worked great. Never got around to splice the reverse lights. All LEDs worked till I got rear ended and wrecked the plug. Still on the truck just going to direct splice the wires.

http://www.gorecon.com/products.php?...ate-Light-Bars I've had this for a year with no issues it puts any other light bar to shame. Used my 4 pin for the brake/running/signal functions and hardwired the reverse and 12v switch into my 7 pin harness. You will want a 60". Anything smaller wont look right

This, I agree, 60 or it will look funny.
