Expert Answers about Tailgate Light Bar


  • Is the Hopkins Tailgate EasyLift Compatible with an LED Light Bar Under the Tailgate
  • Light bars can sometimes interfere with the installation of the Hopkins Tailgate EasyLift, # 74211. I spoke with my contact at Hopkins to see if they know of any fit issues with a light bar and he told me they did have some reported complaints about light bars interfering on Dodge trucks, but he did not have any information on GM trucks. I do have some information that will help determine if the EasyLift will fit with your LED light bar. To install the EasyLift on your truck, you will...

  • Will Rampage SuperBrite LED Tailgate Light Bar # RA960134 Fit a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500
  • Yes, you can use the Rampage SuperBrite LED Tailgate Light Bar # RA960134 on your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. Weather or not it will fit with the tailgate seal you mentioned I cannot say for sure. I can tell you that the light bar is 7/8 inches tall so you should be able to measure the space below the tailgate to determine if the height will be a factor.

  • Fit of Putco P92009-48 Tailgate Light Bar on 2019 Honda Ridgeline
  • The Putco # P92009-48 light bar you'd looked at isn't considered a 'confirmed fit' because Putco hasn't tested it on your vehicle. If the gap between the top of the bumper and the underside of the tailgate can accommodate the 48" long x 5/8" tall x 3/8" deep size of the light bar, there's no reason why you couldn't use it. You will need to make sure that you have at least 3/8 of available room under the tailgate so the bottom edge doesn't contact the light bar. The Putco light bar would...

  • Recommended Tailgate Light Bar For A 2013 Ram 1500
  • I'm not quite sure how your camera is blocking you from installing a 60" tailgate light bar, but we do have some solutions from Putco that plug into the back side of the factory 7-way using the Replacement Quick Connect Wiring Harness for Putco Blade or Red Blade Tailgate Lights # P529004. You could then plug the light bar into the 4-pole connector on one of their light bars (listed below) for a super easy installation. Separate 18" lights # P57CR (this one comes with the # P529004...

  • Tailgate Light Bar Recommendation for a 2019 Ford Ranger with LED Tail Lights
  • We may have something that works but if your right directional light isn't working on your 2019 Ford Ranger you'll want to check the bulb, assembly, fuse, and wiring. A tailgate light bar will help make your truck more visible but if that signal isn't working on your truck and the right directional didn't work on the tailgate bar I'm not confident that any tailgate bar will work properly until you get your truck light fixed. The Rampage SuperBrite LED Tailgate Light Bar # RA960135 gets...

  • Will The Rampage SuperBrite LED Tailgate Light Bar RA960134 Fit A 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn?
  • Yes, the Rampage SuperBrite LED Tailgate Light Bar # RA960134 will indeed fit a 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn. You will just need to have access to a 4-flat connector. If you do not have one already, I recommend using the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118384.

  • Can Access LED Tailgate Light Bar be Used in Place of Regular Reverse Lights
  • Access LED Tailgate Light Bar # A90148 is used in conjunction with reverse lights but it doesn't replace them. On a vehicle you need to have a reverse light on each side of the rear of the vehicle. A single light in the center, even a long one like the Access light bar, would not fit that requirement.

  • Will the Putco Red Blade LED Tailgate Light Bar # 92010-60 Work With My 2019 Ram 1500 Classic
  • I do have a fit for you but the Putco Red Blade LED Tailgate Light Bar # P92010-60 will not work with your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic. The # P92010-60 is made specifically for Ford pick-ups. The option for your Ram 1500 Classic will be the Putco Blade LED Tailgate Light Bar - Stop, Tail, Turn, Backup - 60" Long # P92009-60. This light bar is designed to fit your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic.

  • Rampage SuperBrite LED Tailgate Light Bar 2017 Ford Explorer
  • I am not sure what you mean by "triple light" but the Rampage SuperBrite LED Tailgate Light Bar part # RA960134 has stop, turn, and tail light indicators. It attaches to the vehicle using a 3M automotive-grade adhesive tape and plugs into a 4-way trailer connector. If you need a 4-way trailer connector to plug the light strip into, then you can use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118540 for this purpose. The Rampage SuperBrite LED Tailgate Light...

  • How To Add a 4-Way to a 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 To Use with Tailgate Light Bar
  • In order to add a 4-way trailer connector while also retaining the 7-way trailer connector on a 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 you can use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118384 which offers plug-n-play installation. This will then allow you to plug in a tailgate light bar like the Putco Red Blade LED Tailgate Light Bar part # P92010-60 and still tow a trailer if needed.

  • Will Rampage SuperBrite LED Tailgate Light Bar # RA960134 Work on 2019 Honda Ridgeline
  • The Rampage SuperBrite LED Tailgate Light Bar # RA960134 that you referenced is really a universal product that should work great on your 2019 Honda Ridgeline. The light bar simply mounts with the included 3M tape between the rear bumper and tailgate. It uses a standard 4-Way connector for power so as long as your Ridgeline is equipped with a 4-Way flat trailer connector this will plug right in. If not you can add one with the Tekonsha T-One # 118778 that will plug into a factory port...

  • Will Putco Red Blade LED Tailgate Light Bar - Direct Fit Work On a 2022 Ford F-150 with Smart Hitch
  • I do have an option for you but I checked with Putco and the Putco Red Blade LED Tailgate Light Bar - Direct Fit part # P49CR isn't a fit for a 2022 Ford F-150 with the Onboard Scale/Smart Hitch. Instead, you'll need to go with the Putco Red Blade LED Tailgate Light Bar part # P92010-60 which plugs into the trailer connector. Please note, this may trigger a trailer message on the dash and in which case you'd need to either add resistors inline on the light bar harness or remove the connector...

  • Adding a 4-Way Flat Connector For Tailgate Light Bar On a 2021 Ram 1500
  • Yes the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118384 will plug and play into your factory tow package on your 2020 Ram 1500. This will allow you to plug into a Rampage SuperBrite LED Tailgate Light Bar # RA960134 on your Ram.

  • Installing the Rampage Light bar on a 2020 Ram 1500
  • The Rampage # RA960137 Tailgate Light Bar you referenced is NOT a fit for your 2020 Ram 1500. However, the Rampage # RA960134 IS a confirmed fit for your Ram. The light bar plugs into your 4-pole trailer lighting connector. If your truck does not have this connector you can install the Hopkins # 41155 Simple Wiring Harness. I have included links to these product pages and a review video.

  • Will Putco Red Blade LED Tailgate Light Bar Fit 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 LTZ
  • The Putco Red Blade LED Tailgate Light Bar # P92010-60 will fit your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 LTZ, and the harnesses are going to be the same between a Silverado and Sierra. This light bar even has instructions that are specific to a Silverado LTZ, which I have linked for you. I have also linked a video review for you to take a look at.

  • Will Installation of Rampage LED Tailgate Light Bar # RA960134 Interfere with Spare Tire on 2012 Ram
  • The Rampage LED Tailgate Light Bar # RA960134 that you referenced is intended to install in the gap between the tailgate and bumper on your Ram 1500 SLT using included automotive-grade pressure-sensitive tape. If your Ram is like the truck pictured in the linked photo (with the spare tire pulley access point on the right side of the bumper step) then this 60-inch light bar will block access to the spare. To be certain I checked the Ram truck belonging to an associate here at etrailer.com...

  • Can 4-Way and 7-Way be Used at the Same Time for Trailer and Tailgate Lights on 2012 Ford F-150
  • Yes, you can definitely do that. I have attached a link to our selection of LED light strips that are compatible with the tailgate on your 2012 Ford F-150, like the popular Pilot Bully Fie Strip # BLS-1103, and then you can use an adapter like the Pollak # PK12716 for your trailer. The only time that this should be an issue is if your trailer has a LOT of lights, but since these strips are all LED and don't pull much power I don't see why you'd have any problems. If you wanted to eventually...

  • Is the Putco Red Blade LED Tailgate Light Bar Compatible with Boat Trailers
  • I have a possible solution for you. First, though, the Putco Red Blade LED Tailgate Light Bar, part # P92010-60, is not designed to be put on a trailer or be completely submerged. Instead, I recommend using the Optronics Fleet LED Trailer Tail Lights w/ Grommets, part # TLL12RK. It's fully submersible and has brake light, turn light, and turn signal functions. It has standard 3-prong plugs included. I've linked to a video review of this below.

  • Trailer Connector With Both 7-Way and 4-Way connection For Tailgate Light Bar
  • Yes, I recommend the Curt T-connector 7-Way and 4-Pole Flat part # C55774 that plugs into the factory 7-way port on the back of your truck and gives you a 7-way plug and 4-way trailer connector to plug your light bar into.

  • Using 4-Pole Trailer Adapter Part # 118384 for Tailgate Light Bar on 2008 Silverado
  • You are absolutely correct. The 4-Pole Trailer Adapter part # 118384 would plug inline to the connector for your existing 7-way trailer connector. If you need a mounting bracket for the 4-Pole, we offer part # 18144. To see the installation instructions for the Adapter, click on the link below.
