60" Triple Row Light Strip

This product checks all the boxes: easy install, great visibility, easy plug and play. Looks great, functionality is great, has great durability in all weather conditions, wire length is perfect to reach anywhere. And the lights are very bright.

This works great! Better visibility in inclement weather. The lights work as promised and are easy to install. I bought an installation kit to hard wire into the existing lighting and had my truck service shop do the install when I did normal scheduled maintenance. The tech was as impressed as I am. The adhesive has not come undone in hot weather and seems well affixed during winter. On the mountain roads with blind curves, drivers behind me are able to see my lights reflecting in the snow and know I am ahead, just around the bend. The amber turn indicators are well visible. The double row of white reverse lights are unmistakable in broad daylight. Backing out of parking stalls is easier because there is absolutely no way other drivers to not see the lights. The lights look like they belong there and not like some "Hokey" add-on. I am pleased.

First Day Review: I bought the 3 row, 60" strips a few weeks back and just installed them last night on my 2016 F150 XLT Super Crew. I liked them so far. Here are some thoughts: - 4-pin Trailer Harness: Before installing anything, I wanted to test out the 4pin harness connection. I opened the box that the LEDs came in and pugged them right into my 4 pin trailer hookup. All the signals and LEDs worked, but there seemed to be a delay. For example, when the flashers were on, the amber lights on the LED strip would come on a split second too late and not finish before another blink was fired. It was off. Next, I drove around for about 20 minutes with the trailer connection and the LEDs in my bed. I kept receiving trailer connecting and trailer disconnected messages. So I did not use the 4pin harness. - Wiring: I did not use the 4pin connector and did not want to splice into the wires in the trailer hookup wiring. Instead, I spliced the wires at the driver's side backlights (for power, left blink, reverse and ground) and the passenger side (for right blinker). I ran new wires down to a central point near the driver's side. I had to do a few searches to find which color wire was what... but once I did it all came together easily. Not sure if this approach was best, but it worked for me. I will need to go back later and make sure the wiring is 100% watertight with some type of a junction box. And I need to add some protective plastic shielding where the wires touch metal. But I just wanted to get this done last night. - Installing the LED Strip: The strip comes wrapped around itself, in a small-ish box. When I was ready to install them on the truck they kept trying to roll back up... this made it tough to do (more about this below). If I was to do this again I would have laid them out for a few hours (or overnight) so they flatten out. Before installing I cleaned the bed thoroughly with soap/water, a degreaser, and made sure it was dry. Once clean I used took time to center the strip and placing a small piece of electrical tape onto the bed of the truck and the strip to know where the center point is in case it moved. I started on the side of the drive, peeling off a little tape. I applied a bead of rtv silicone adhesive to the bed and pushed the stip against the bed, holding it there for a minute or 2. I worked my way across the bed, ensuring it was lined up/even with the bottom of the tailgate (where I thought it looked best. I had some issues with the beginning of the strip pulling up by the time I go to the end. And then I had issues with the end once I went back to the beginning. I ended up jamming a roll of electrical tape on both ends for an hour or so to ensure it stayed. - Overall: They are super bright. That is both awesome and might be weird. Awesome for more visibility to bad drivers around me. And being able to back up with more light is great. Weird because of them just being too obnoxious. If someone in the car behind me is blinded, that sucks. I may need to have a buddy drive the truck while I drive a car to see. Again I dig these so far. I will update with pictures and more thoughts as I have them.

Purchased this item for my 2019 GMC Sierra and used the feature to deterrmine if it would work with my truck, and this item is supposed to. I live in Minnesota, so didn't get around to installing it until the day after my return expiration. Unit is not complicated so installation should be easy. Before installing, I decided to check the until for proper operation. Sadly, the device isn't properly functioning. The right turn signal doesn't work at all. The brake light function doesn't light up everytime I applied the brakes. Nothing happens when I turn on the hazard lights. The entire rear light strip randomly flashes red lights. The instruction say to mount the rear light in the recess between the bumper and tailgate, but to mount it up high enough to be seen, the bottom of the tailgate will rub against the light strip when you open it. The area is also deeply recessed so it is hard to maneuver the light strip in that area. Only one of the 3 box light strips works as well. My fault for not checking this sooner, and now I'm stuck with a dysfunctional light system.

Good price. Operates better than others I have purchased. Adhesive not holding great, and may need to add brackets with screws to hold down. Slightly annoying that turn signals do not flash synchronized. The truck signals flash, and then the LED strip. So they are on opposite beats.

I recently purchased a 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500HD LZT z71. I immediately began making it “my” truck. Part of the transformation was the installation of this rear light strip. It works great. It comes with a 4 pin connector and another solid wire for the reverse light. The light strip itself has self-stick tape on the back and holes in the ends for screws to hold it in place. It lights up in an attention-grabbing way that your ordinary lights do not. Especially when you are backing up at night! Great for camping. Also sequential turn signals. It was easy to install on my truck ... except, I paid a professional to do the actual wiring (another $100 cost). I have wired vehicles years ago, but I was too trepidatious to do the wiring of this light bar on my 2016 truck. I have heard too many horror stories about two wires touching that should not have touched and the computer getting fried. So, right or wrong, expensive or cheap, I had the professionals do the wiring. The wiring was done using the 4 pin plug that came with the lightbar, so replacement should be just a matter of unplugging and plugging, which even a layman such as myself can accomplish. The real proof of this light bar is how long it can go before the LED’s start burning out. This strip is enclosed in its own rigid case, other than being flexible, so it may last longer. The stiff rigid case may, however, limit your mounting options. I had to mount the lightbar at the top of my bumper, rather than directly under my tailgate.

Was impressive the quality of the product an the light brightness .

So when I first installed the tailgate bar. I had no initial issues as some reported upon installation on their truck. I installed it on my 2021 Toyota Tundra. Very easy to install. I think it would be better to purchase solid model such as the Opt-7 instead of one you have to unroll. On the Nilight Light Bar the adhesion of the 3M tape doesn’t stick as well. You have to apply more pressure and keep straightening out the light bar for it to stick well. At first after watching a few install videos on YouTube I was thinking I would have to install the Redline Trailer module in line with my 7 pin trailer plug and Nilight Tailgate Bar. I went ahead and used the the Curt Trailer 7 pin to 4 pin wire harness. The 4 pin connector connected to the plug on the tailgate bar and I soldered the Reverse Light wire from the tailgate bar to the middle pin wire of the 7 pin trailer connector. The first day it worked. The LEDs a very bright especially the reverse light. The next day when it rained it was malfunctioning. When I would turn the left or right turn signal on the Red Running Light(bottom row LEDs) would blink. The Amber LEDs wouldn’t light in a sequential pattern. Do the following day I realized I had to tighten the 4 pin connector of the light bar and wire harness. I also sealed small spaces I saw between connectors with silicon to prevent water from seeping through and I re-taped everything with fresh black electrical tape. After that even when I drove it in the rain, freezing rain and snow no issues. However recently yesterday(2/19/2021) and today (2/19/2021) I noticed the operation of the lights on the tailgate bar were off. There were no sequencing of turn signal LEDs, didn’t light when Hazards were turned on, the running red LEDs worked, but would blink when the hazards were turned on or if the turn signals were turned on.(Video is attached.It’s lengthy but it shows malfunctioning). I found out this all occurred not because of the snow or rain but it was because I switched my truck from 2-wheel to 4-wheel drive. When I switched back to 2 wheel drive there were still issues. I turned the truck on and off a few times to see if it reset anything. It didn’t. Later during the day when I turned on my vehicle to travel again for a 4th time that day, all the LEDs worked like they were supposed to. I’m really thinking of either returning this light bar after inspecting all my connections again or just buying another one. I don’t think Nilight will be swift in responding to this issue seeing that other people complained about protest weren’t resolved. I might end up going with purchasing the Opt-7 Tailgate Light if I have more issues. I have videos of them working and malfunctioning, but they’re too long I’ll have to shorten them and post them later.
