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.
Aside from increasing your, your passenger’s, and other driver’s safety on the road by bolstering the visibility of your signals, tailgate light bars can also improve the visibility of your surroundings while reversing at night.
Tailgate light bars with 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.
Tailgate Light Bars come in several configurations, ranging from simple auxiliary reverse lights to emergency strobe and multi-function bars.
Multi-Function LED Tailgate Light Bars perform—you guessed it—multiple functions. These bars typically include white, red, and sometimes amber LEDs to serve various functions, i.e., red for running and braking, amber for signaling, and white for reversing. Most multi-function bars include a 4-pin connector that plugs directly into your pickup’s factory trailer wiring harness for a quick, plug-and-play installation.
Why we love it:
Amber, red, and white LEDs perform various functions (running, brake, signal, reverse)
Stylish scanning amber turn signals
Vibrant white reverse lights
Classic red running and brake lights
Simple plug-and-play installation
Sleek one-piece design
SAE and DOT approved
Emergency/strobe tailgate light bars are marketed towards construction crews, tapping into existing strobe modules to get the attention of passing vehicles. These bars feature strobing amber/white LEDs, replicating the hazards and strobe lights on safety vehicles.
Why we love it:
Selectable scanning and strobing light patterns
Ideal for road crews, plow trucks, and service trucks
Dual-row LEDs for maximum visibility
Wiring and mounting hardware included
Available in 49 and 60-in. versions
If you’re looking to bolster your pickup’s reverse light output, consider outfitting it with an LED backup bar. These bars feature high-intensity white lighting to better illuminate your pickup’s surroundings, easing parking, reversing, and backing up a trailer.
Why we love it:
Doubles the output of factory reverse lights
Ideal for hitching up a trailer or backing into a driveway at night
Improves backup camera image quality in low-light conditions
Completely waterproof
Easy peel-and-stick mounting with included 3M adhesive tape
Choosing an LED tailgate light bar can be a hassle, especially with all of the options on the market. When selecting your next purchase, consider the following:
While most tailgate light bars mount below your pickup’s tailgate, between the tailgate and the rear bumper, others mount higher up, like the Anzo LED Tailgate Cap. Before placing your order, verify your preferred mounting location and consider factors like your vehicle’s height and aesthetics.
What’s your size preference? Do you prefer a full-width offering, like the Race Sport 48” 5-Function Triple-Row LED Tailgate Light Bar, or the subtle styling of a Recon Mini LED Bar?
While larger bars may offer more visibility due to their higher LED chip count, smaller bars offer sleek, minimalist styling.
Finally, consider your ideal functionality. Whether you need a multi-function bar, a reverse bar, or a strobing bar, we have you covered.
While an LED Tailgate Light Bar is a worthwhile upgrade individually, consider bolstering functionality and aesthetics with these alternative lighting options.
