Honda Ridgeline Light Bars & Strips for Your Truck’s Tailgate

Bright & Long-Lasting Truck Tailgate LED Bars & Strips

While LED tailgate light bars may seem like a purely aesthetic upgrade, they also serve an essential purpose—bolstering visibility while performing essential signaling functions like braking, reversing, and turning. 

With long-lasting LED chips and dedicated circuits for various signals, high-quality tailgate light bars can significantly enhance safety by increasing the visibility of your truck and its maneuvers to other drivers. Features like integrated white LEDs for reverse functionality cast a crisp, bright glow on your surroundings while reversing, allowing you to back up a trailer, navigate a dark driveway, or parallel park.

Installing tailgate light bars is quick and easy with the included hardware and extra-strong, automotive-grade double-sided adhesive. Wiring ranges in difficulty from plug-and-play to tapping electrical connectors at the hitch.

Popular Types of Rear Truck LED Lighting

Tailgate light bars are available in various configurations, ranging from simple auxiliary reverse lights to emergency strobe and multi-function bars.

Multi-Function

Multi-function LED tailgate light bars typically include white, red, and sometimes amber LEDs to serve various functions: red for running and braking, amber for signaling, and white for reversing. Most multi-function bars feature a 4-pin connector that plugs directly into your pickup’s factory trailer wiring harness, providing a quick, plug-and-play installation. Invest in RealTruck’s multi-function tailgate light bars for effortless installation.
