Can Rampage SuperBrite LED Tailgate Light Bar # RA960137 be Hardwired Into a 2015 Ram 1500

Expert Reply:
The Rampage SuperBrite LED Tailgate Light Bar # RA960137 plugs into a 4-Way flat vehicle side connector. If your 2015 Ram 1500 does not have any kind of trailer connector you could either add one using # 119250KIT or you would have to cut off the 4-Way plug on the light bar and wire its wires directly to the taillight wiring on your truck.
To hardwire it to your truck you will first need to test the taillight wiring behind the truck's taillights using the circuit tester included in the kit or one like the # PTW2993 if you are not using the kit. Having someone sit in the truck and operate the lighting functions will also be helpful. The 4-Way end of the light bars harness has 4 wires. The white wire is ground. The brown wire is for running lights, yellow is for left turn/brake lights, and green is for right turn and brake lights.
If your 2015 Ram 1500 came with a factory 7-Way trailer connector then all you would need to power Rampage SuperBrite LED Tailgate Light Bar # RA960137 is a 4-Way that Tees in with the 7-Way wiring, # 118384.
