Tailgate led bar help!!

[01HDtahoeNJN]

Okay so i bought a Tailgate LED bar strip 49" not to long ago and realized that this may not fit...out bumpers aren't straight across they have curves so wouldn't it stick out?!

Also i plugged it in to the tow brake lights and got no lights anyone have any suggestions on that?!?!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks guys

do you have the adapter for the socket thats near the hitch?

yea you should have gone with a 60'' light bar

you will need something like this

Yea it's not meant to go on our trucks cause it's ugly.... Do you have the standard circle plug adapter? If you do it may be as simple as a blown fuse, that happened on my 02 Tahoe.

NBS Esky third brake light would be equally as effective but factory-esque!

 

[01HDtahoeNJN]

Kinda figured I shoulda went with a 60 once I put this one up to the hoe.. I do NOT have an adapter so I'll needa jump on that..

Also are others easier to mount or are they all going to stick out on our rides in the corners?!

I do want one, Gimme $750 and we'll call it a deal

 

[Ben]

750? Where the hell are you getting that number? You could probably find one for a 1/3 of that price if you actually tried.

 

[01HDtahoeNJN]

Around 300 for the brake light 400 for the glass which is extremely hard to come buy here and new components and them some change to color match.. It's not like I just buy a light and screw it to the hatch lmao you know that weeman

335 at staring bid without the glass..

 

[03tahoe2012]

yea i know it sucks......

 

[01HDtahoeNJN]

Haha if it was cheap I'd be on the ride already lmao I'm 19 not like I'm raking it in with a decent salary.. On top of all that the junk yards round here don't hold vehicles anymore like they did back in the day I needa make 200 mile trips to the sticks to find decent ones

Where did you want to put it?

 

[MrBalll]

Not sure of the inner workings, but could you just make a snip in the plastic where the overhang is and "wrap" it around that curved part of the bumper. Kind of like side markers?

 

[01HDtahoeNJN]

Pretty sure it'd mess something up but not sure

 

[chauncey0337]

It kinda looks like those led strips that you can cut to length every third led.

 

[01HDtahoeNJN]

no its like a hard plastic pretty sure you cant cut it

here is the bar i have on my yukon
it is flexible and forms to the curves on the top of the bumper

I tapped into the factory harnes and set up a small project box with a terminal bus so I could add http://www.gorecon.com/product.php?pk=55 and only have to tap one time.
This allows for the me to tow and still have all the extra lights work.

Just FYI my truck is black so i like the extra lights for night driving.

I have a question for the op. Were you trying to plug the 4 flat connector in to the 7 pin plug?
If you are mounting this permanantly, then you should wire it in instead of plugging it in. It is going to look like ass with the wires and plug always visible.

Yes/no
I wanted to see if it would work first before tapping into other wires..
