Do you have the trailer tow package on your truck and if so did the hitch mount show that a trailer was connected? I have a 2015 1500 and I am looking to get the DiodeDynamic Hitch mount with the brake light, but noticed on their website that they are testing to see if there it shows trailer connected or if it plays nicely.
I was looking at one of the OPT7 tailgate light bars but I don't like that it gets in the way of the spare tire drop access.

Depending on the state, the lights might not be legal. For example in Va, it is not legal to add tailgate lights to your truck. This applies to running or directional. Not sure about backup lights.
Before spending the time and money you might check with your friendly state inspector.
Same goes for lights underneath or in some cases even headlights. (possibly you can have under lights, but just not use them unless parked)
In Va you must have the same bulbs for headlights as provided when new, or you won't pass inspection.
Hopefully your state is more lenient.

I installed a Putco 90009-60 LED Tailgate Light Bar with Turn Signal Function on my 07' Quad Cab 1500 in 2014, still working great.
