Pros: Super bright and simple hook-up for 4-pin towing packages.
Cons: Some might not like the seals but, thats what hot glue is for.
"I actually pulled mine right out of the tube and started to butcher it. I cut it down the connecting block in the middle and made it 2 separate bars, since I was using this for my dune buggy, and 48" was way too long. I would check your unit and make sure the ends are well sealed. Other than that, it's a great addition to any vehicle lighting system"

Pros: Bright Leds Extra Safety
Cons: Flimsy, Cover's Spare Tire Crank Hole (Dodge Truck)
"I like the look of the LED Taillight Bar. Installation could have been a little easier if the bar was more rigid. I read alot of customer reviews before purchasing and used some other customer's ideas while installing. I chose not to use the supplied 3M tape because I have Line-X bedliner sprayed on the area between my tailgate and bumper and I wasn't sure how the tape would act on the bumpy surface. I chose to use metal screws. I used the existing holes on the bar from the mounting tape brackets and drilled holes into the truck. The bar is very flimsy and I had a hard time getting it on straight. I cut up a wood paint stir stick and taped the peices on my bumper and set the bar on top of the peices. I drilled 2 holes and put in the screws and stood back to look at it and could see it was already going downhill. What was happening was the screws were forcing the bar down. I redriled 2 holes a little higher and when the screws pushed the bar down it was level. After the first 2 screws I had my brother stand back and watch for levelness as I drilled the rest of the holes. It is easier to have a second person eyeing it up while your mounting it. Before I installed, I used masking tape to hold the bar at different heights while working my tailgate up and down. Once I found where I wanted it and knew the tailgate would not hit it I removed the tailgate. This made installation alot easier especially with drilling holes. Alot of customers had complaints about water getting into the bar on the ends. The bar is sealed on both ends but I went ahead and used clear silicone on both ends for extra security. I tried the bar out tonight and it looks great. My levelness is still alittle off but the LED lights are so bright you can't tell. The one incentive for me to buy this bar was price. I paid 50.99 for the bar which usally they run between 70 and 80 dollars. I don't think they are worth that much and I still think 50 bucks is kinda steep for what your getting. 2 of the LED's in the bar are bent down a little bit and you can see that when the bar is lite. Came from the factory that way. Another issue with this bar is it covers my spare tire crank hole. I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel. I knew this when I bought the bar. The mounting metal is thin enough I think I am going to use my tin snips and cut the metal at the hole so I won't have to remove the bar if I get a flat. Take this into consideration if the bar will cover your crank hole and you are using the 3M tape. That stuff does not come off without a fight. Overall I like the bar and I like the added safety with the extra turn signals brake and tail lights. Hooking up the bar into your electrical system is a breeze if you have a 4 flat connector. Most newer trucks with tow package have both 4 flat and 7 round. I did not know this until the last truck I owned, for newer Dodges with tow package the 7 round is in the bumper. I thought this was all I had until I was under the truck one day and seen the 4 flat tucked up behind the wiring harness. So if you think that 7 round is all you have take a look up behind your bumper you might be surprised. The bar has it's ups and downs but overall after dark it looks great!"
