Ordered 3 Lamp Bar Beneath Tailgate Above Plate

OK, what the heck?

I know it's for duallys, but I got tired of looking at those 2 square holes; it just looked like something was missing.

Same part for 2006 to 2018 55277299AB and 2 special snap-in nuts.

Amazon has them, OE stuff too.

The link wasn't working for me.

I did look up the part #, though.

Are they reasonably bright?

They are so bright that I didn’t even know I had them! LOL

Just kidding, here are a couple of photos, one with just lights on the other with brakes applied.

They do look great.

I didn't know you had a limited!

Let's talk about that 5th wheel now, O.o.

Thanks, man.

OE is just three incandescent bulbs; aftermarket makes all kinds of super bright ones, blinker types that flash on for a second or two when brake it applied, etc.

I'm an OE guy and I see lots of real bright LED's that looks like the brake light is stuck on.

At night, I want to be seen, but it's just an option I don't have and want.

I fixed the link too.

I put the Mopar one on mine; not too bright.

Yeah, not looking for bright, just matching running lamps.

OK, mine showed up today.

Was there a pigtail to plug it in for those who did it, or did you splice it into a lic light lamp circuit?

As you know, mine came installed from the factory, but in case you don’t get an answer, I have attached the wiring diagram for mine.

They wired it in with the side marker lamps.

I hope this helps answer your question.

Thanks, Bob; yes, no wiring connector in place, and I didn't expect one, I would have liked to have the mate for the original, but I did install a waterproof 2-pin connector on it and tied it into my LH lic plate lamp.

Works like a champ.

I did not cut my original wires; I just skinned them back, wrapped them in the new pigtail, soldered it, and wrapped it up tight.

Installed, wired securely, so they don't move in the wind and break over time.

Looks great and like it belongs there.

I always like customizing or adding items but using factory parts.

Most people don't even know it's added.

It looks like it belongs.

I've added the roof lamps, upfitter switches, this bar lamp, Uconnect, cabin air filter, deleted muffler kit (this was a great add, feel the power, no more noise) factory trailer brake kit.
