Customer Reviews

  1. The light bar is great. But no instructions were in the box. Watched YouTube videos to install. Originally wired to trailer hitch, but kept getting false readings on dashboard at start up. So I disconnected from trailer hitch. Took Putco installation instructions off the internet. Followed wiring instructions for a 2015 F150. The instructions were a bit confusing. Did the bridge wiring under the dash. And after all that there is no power to the light bar. I will try again today to get this thing wired.

  2. Love it. Works great, looks great – nice and bright. Had to hardwire mine because 2016 F150 has trailer awareness feature.

    – Steve Carroll
  3. for the money it should be programmable nice unit though only one I found that cooperates with BLIS and trailer assist took an hour or two to imstall directions were adequate

  4. I really thought it would be hard to do. But I did it by myself w/the instruction. It came out perfect lights look great.

  5. I installed the Blade Tailgate Light Bar on my new Tacoma. The increased visability from behind is great especially with so may distracted drivers today. It was plug and play with the quick connect wire harness. It is a quality made product with a Putco 3 year warranty. I highly recommend it.

  6. Head and shoulders above the competition…plug and play makes installation quick and easy, and the look is unrivaled. The only option if you want the best.

  7. Installed on a 2020 GMC Sierra SLT with multi-pro tailgate. Once I figured out how to remove the tailgate, the rest of it was a breeze. You MUST remove the tailgate to install this bar. Great product!

    There is no plug and play option for the 15-20 F150 trucks, the only way to install is to hardwire.

  6. I'm interested in purchasing the Putco 36" Blade Red, White, Amber LED Tailgate Light Bar for my 2021 RAM 1500 Crew Cab Limited 4x4. Will the referenced bar need a plug-n-play harness? If yes, which harness is required? Thank you.

    That will not work, with the new technology on the trucks it will detect the light as a trailer and it will not function correctly.

    A So why do they sell one that says it fits on a 2023 Colorado, with no harness?
    A FYI installed in my 2023 Chevy Colorado Z71 today with four pin connector works without reverse lights trailer software recognizes being plugged in but in the settings options you can pick not trailer accessory and works fine. Didn't want to splice in the white wire for reverse lights
