Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓This LED strip gives your truck a more kickass appearance to complete the look. It's not every day that you see trucks with some pretty neat LED strip lights so be the first one on the road to have LED tailgate strip lamps! These are LED tail gate strip lights with 4 functions: on/off brake mode, left turn signal, right turn signal, and reverse mode. These LED strip lights are universal fit so you don't have to worry about compatibility issues.
What you need
-

-
Thoroughly clean the surface where you'll be applying the trunk LED tail gate lamp.

Use soap and water to scrub the area clean since that place is normally dirty.

Check the trunk LED tailgate lamp to make sure everything works.
