My Lightsaber (RansRAM, wanna duel?)
Santa brought me one too.. I'm up for a duel anytime, RansRAM! 
I installed this a few months ago.. only for the bar to finally give out due to operator error (I removed the tailgate to install.. and forgot to snap the rear camera wire loom back into place before I closed the tailgate.. doh!). So, the first bar got cracked and was removed.. I left all the wiring in place however, just tucking it up into safe 'storage'.
Finally installed the replacement a few weeks ago. Here's a pic of how I wired it up again.. hopefully it is understandable! And a video of the bar in action! (I wish I knew how to edit videos.. lol.. you'll know why at the end :shy

I won't get into this lightsaber battle because I cheated and have more lights... :gy:
Sure looks good though!
Edit:
JUST KIDDING!!

I have no plans to replace the entire tail light assembly.. but have been trying to look in to just replacing the stock bulbs with LEDs.
You know, I actually freaked out back when I first saw your lit flaps. Despite how much I liked yours, I love my chrome Canadian imports more. To each their own. I passed on more light in favor of that touch of chrome. :smileup:
Thanks Shawn!
I am keeping my truck's stock appearance as well. This bar is hardly noticeable during the day and, well, obviously noticeable at night. :wow:
Here's a few day pics of the tailgate.. unless you're looking, you can't tell it's there.. I continue to surprise my friends who end up following me somewhere at night.
I think it is the perfect mod. It does not change the exterior (daily) appearance of the truck.. while I still get my addition of more lights at night. :smileup:

Thanks for the link! I will certainly be grabbing some of these soon.. 2 in cool white for the reverse and 2 in red for the brake.. right?
Would I need resistors for these to avoid hyper flash?
Thanks Brandon! Have fun lighting yours up!
I highly recommend this bar and Recon overall! Great customer service and superb quality built products. :smileup:
Now that looks awesome, the dual is on. Here are some well deserved reps for the pics and video. :rep:

Great, thanks for the info! Bookmarked!
Are there any options for the brake/turn signals with no need for resistors? Probably not, but doesn't hurt to ask. Do the resistors come with install info? I've been reading quite a bit on the lighting section and have read that if not grounded or mounted properly they tend to burn paint..? I am not an electrician by any means and would hate to have to bother you guys more than a couple of times on the same topic. :shy2:
I don't recall that movie.. my reference is obvious.. Star Wars. If I go ahead with my most recent mod attack, I may give RansRAM a run for his money.. what, being armed with a double-sided lightsaber.. Darth Maul material there! lol
Speak of the devil! Move along, there is nothing to see here. You didn't hear anything.Now that looks awesome, the dual is on.
Thanks for the rep, hun.. much appreciated. :shy: And, yes, the dual is on! :gy:Just name the time and place..
You can run but you can't hide. LOL. You can find on another thread that my Ram has a name, it's "Vadar" no s#%t it's mean and sinister looking but all good in the end. :smileup: So ya some side by side shots would be cool, I do have LED tails and third brake so the back end is all lit up nicely now and I get tons of compliments on the recon light bar.Speak of the devil! Move along, there is nothing to see here. You didn't hear anything.
Thanks for the rep, hun.. much appreciated. :shy: And, yes, the dual is on! :gy:Just name the time and place..
Vader, huh? My Ram also has a name, kind of. I started calling her the Millennium Falcon in some of my earlier posts. Was even thinking of getting special badges made with the Rebel Alliance symbol, even though that wouldn't be a true match as the Falcon was always a Merc for Hire. But that idea went out the window when hubby (my resident Emperor, lol) said all badges will remain stock. So, now I'm thinking of a special additional badge of some sort... I'd love LED tails and 3rd brake too.. but, again, I have to run everything by the Emperor.
I frequently get compliments on my bar too (and my unique mud flaps). There are a handful of other truck owners (not just Rams) in my town who have light bars.. but none of them have the scanning turn signals.. theirs just flash either the right or left side of the bar.. pretty boring! So, through others I have learned that I have accomplished my goal of having a standout rig.. at least in my neck of the woods. :smileup:
