That's funny! I was just looking at these and just posted a thread about the taillights. I was gonna go with the 49" but that'll be to short so the 60" is deff the way to go. I think it'll look good on your truck since it's white!! Would it look good on mine being that my truck is black???? I wanted to get the scanning one but they won't have the 60" until April

ALSO! Make sure your hitch Trailor light plug in will be the correct match. I'm not sure if mine is but mine has the three holes and then one really small hole. So I'm not sure if I'm gonna get it cause I don't know if I have the right plug in

I can't see how long a warrenty the seller is offering. He looks to have a pretty good feed back score. I buy off ebay a lot and really have not had a problem when it comes to new items. Besides, you are protected through ebay for up to 150.00 and there may be other protection offered.

So i wouldn't be affraid to buy them.

I got the 60" Xtreme Tailgate bar that has the Running/Brake/Reverse/Scanning Turn signals for my truck and just plugged it into the standard 4 pin trailer lights connection. For the first couple of weeks I had to unplug and plug it back in for the light bar to work. Sometimes I would start my truck but the lights would not come on, dont really know why that happened, but now it works fine. The reverse lights on mine are bright when they are on, but they dont really help with giving extra light for backing up. (p.s. for people interesting in getting the Xtreme Tailgate bar, the scanning turn signals can barely be seen with the brake lights on. So say you turn your signal on then hit the brake, the red LED brake lights are brighter than the yellow scanning LEDs so they are not seen very easily, unless you are right up next to them.)

the one with the yellow/amber turn signals doesnt look good on the f150s. if the trucks had yellow turnsignals in the tail lights i think it would be fine. but ebay is usually no the best place to buy from. i will admit most of the stuff i buy is from ebay but if something goes wrong your pretty much s.o.l. this is what im goin truough right now with a subwoofer i bought of ebay. they said it was under waranty and i sent it back and they have yet to send me a new one or anything so its pretty much a crap shoot.
