Do the tail lights have two bulbs, one reverse and the other for everything else?

Yep. If it only has two harnesses for both you're going to have to wire it to the headlights. Mine was the same way, but if I had a blinker on it worked. Until I hit the brakes. Then the tail lights flip.

Awesome. Glad you like it here. :) Wish I could help but I don't have a light bar with the amber color, so I'm not sure how it works, I just have one with the red and white lights.

My bar is the same one as yours. Wire the brake wire to the 3rd brake light. And the turn signals to the head light turn signals. And then everything else to its normal position. Nothin else is needed.

Very much so, when I first placed it it was too close to my tailgate, and when I opened it it smashed right on top of it. No damage to it at all.
