I finally got a tail light LED bar for my truck!
Amazon link.

There is one problem with putting one on the NBS body style... there is no place flat that goes straight across:

So I had to make do with the area I had:

Doesn't look the best, but it works...

It even had reverse lights (They still pale in comparison to the JDM ASTAR reverse bulbs):

Same but out door, then just parking lights:

Ah man beat me to it. Looks good like to see a night time pic too.
I was wondering about the curves. Had a plan on using a 60" long L bracket so it's straight across.

Did you disconnect your chmsl?
Nope, no brake lights used in these pictures... I was using the hazard lights and turn signals so I didn't need a helper to take the photos.
I also went back and edited the posts to put in descriptions for the photos.

This looks good. You and and @05Single and the lights. Some cool ideas. Want to see the NBS CHMSL modded all the way across, but not the Esky 3rd. The OEM housing lit up across the entire back window. Hmmm...

You know what this needs?
20170518_195524_014.jpg

Some black Esky vent covers with some red LEDs hidden behind the vents for extra stop/turn signals...

EDIT: Although, now that I look at gettygatz4life thread again about doing that, I'm having second thoughts about that. I'd still like the vent covers, but it doesn't look as cool as I remember...

My buddies. He's in the process of making amber turns in the appliques too. Mix of led strips and eagle eyes.

I think if he had the line of fire it would be too much going on. I think that would be the same for yours too.

I bought a CURT 56584 Custom Wiring Harness (it t-into your stock 7-way trailer plug, and gives you a 5-way trailer plug) so I could hook my LED tailgate light up properly.

All I had to do is crimp on a bullet connector onto the reverse wire, and plug it into the the open port at the end of the 5-way.

I added a 20" LED light bar on a "mini-bull bar" that attaches to the front license plate mounting holes.
I didn't really want to try to drill extra holes in the bumper, so this works out well for me.

I have them set to turn on with my fog lights.

I walked just beyond the first big puddle for this one:
