Default Tailgate LED bar installed

Install went well! Spliced the reverse wire to the drivers side tail light reverse lights and while I was under the truck doing some wire management to my surprise there was a free hanging 4 pin connector spliced into the 6 pin (win!)so I was able to hide all the cables and leave my 4pin free on my trailer hitch. The reverse pic you cant tell very well but in-between each red led is a white led. Happy with the outcome. What do you think?

What brand/model did you get? I know there's some low end ones around that have failed or gotten water and didn't last.

Mine was an eBay buy for $40 so if it doesn't last forever I won't be too upset. I checked it over and its sealed up well. I also sealed up where the wires enter the bar a little better.
