The company is called opt7 , there is a 48” or a 60 “ of the light . I used the 48” because if you have the tailgate step , there is a bracket in the way on the bed body that would interfere.
I tapped in to the trailer harness for the reverse power input and used a body ground. My goal was more reverse light and this is the answer for me. I bought the Baja lights and mounted them like everyone else but honestly I hated the look. It was too cluttered so I took them off.

Looks awesome any chance you can post some daytime up close pics so we can see the light bar?

Simply curious...does this light bar only function with the reverse lights?

If so...I’m interested in this as well. Don’t need brake and directional lights.

It’s pretty much like all the other ones you have seen out there aka the blade from putco that has the blinkers and brake lights. All I wanted was the use of the reverse so that all I wired and for how cheap of a mod this is .. can’t go wrong imho

Start of by getting a deutsch dt 6 pin connector

The crimping tool needed

For wire sleeving I used

and use some regular shrink tubing for the ends to hold everything in place.

The nice thing is the truck side of the harness will never have to be changed once you build the connector... never have to trim it , re do it or all the other hack jobs I have seen out there.

The input side (male) side of the harness is “do as you wish” . Right now I have three inputs used for aux 1-3 for my front lights.

hope this helps a bit, there are some videos on YouTube on how to actually built the connector but it’s an easy process.
Thank you very much
