You are screwing into plastic

Yes you are screwing into plastic, the plastic trim is uneven so tape won't do. That is why you need to install with spacers and clips.

A question for those of you who have installed a tailgate bar on a 2019-2020 RAM with a rear camera: did you have to disconnect the wiring when you removed the tailgate or is there enough slack in the wiring to set the tailgate securely in the bed?

Disconnect, not much of a hassle. Make sure you mount just above rear bumper level to allow clearance for tailgate to open.

One last question do you find them spacers in the screw isle I asked someone and they looked at me like I had 2 heads

According to Lowes these are considered Nylon Washers rather than a "spacer". Most likely the screw aisle. Not sure the exact size needed, but here is an example of what I found. Please post the exact product you buy and what you find to be the correct spacer size. I am looking to put this light bar and the running board turn signals on my truck soon. A detailed parts list and install pictures would be awesome!

Pretty sure down the hardware ailse , may be in the parts drawers, if you find them on the homedepot app it will tell you the location in your store.

I used the one linked below. No cutting or splicing on the truck or opt7 side. , it is a 5 pin so you can use a bullet terminal on the white wire(reverse wire) of the opt7 light bar and plug right in to the 5 pin harness of the above curt adapter I speced below.

I also posted below a not so great pic of the 4 pin opt7 plug connected to the 5 pin curt plug with reverse wire plugged in separately.

A bit late of a reply, but what all did you order to install?

OPT7 Lightbar, CURT Harness, what is the 4 pin OPT7 plug?, spacers, screws.

I also have a set of the sequential running board lights that I will be wiring up. Guessing I can wire them up to this as well aside from the courtesy lights.

So I received my Opt7 3 led light bar today from Amazon. 8 plugged it into the factory 4 pin connector just to test and noticed the amber LEDs are not coming on. The brake light works and running light works. When I turn on the turn signals the red LEDs will flash sequentially instead of the amber. Has anyone else had this issue? I have a 2020 ram with halogen lights, not sure that matters.

Thanks for any input you have.
