OK so we get this knock on the door around 6pm today and I go to the door and there it is my fire & ice led truck bar.
So here we go again--I take the tailgate off clean the area up and Amber is helping me get it on:naughty:----the leds that is:naughty:

Anyway the video is getting uploaded to mobilme now and will post the link in a few.
Ok so where do I hook up the white wire again and will I need more of it? I really want to have the back up one's working.

I have no clue how to that. Do I take out the taillights ?

yea you have to take the taillights off and find which wire is for the reverse and splice into it. I dont remember which wire it is but someone will chime in

I watched the video again and it looks like you have the factory tow package, if so on the 7 way plug in it will show on the outside which pin is for the reverse lights so just look behind the plug and tap into that wire. Should be the WT/LG BACKUP LAMP FEED

Its the white wire with the green stripei belive. Put your parking brake on, throw it in rev, engine off btw, and touch the wire to the pins on the plug. The one that lights it up is it.
