Putco Blade Tailgate Light-bar Questions

good deal

I can take pics but dark out now and tire tucked back up. Don’t think there is a wrong way to do it honestly. I mounted the lights about as low as possible but could probably go less than 1/4 inch lower, no contact at tailgate. I think with the split lights it’s less than of an issue.

As far as mounting you basically have to make the left side work as there isn’t much wiggle room, then just put the right side at about the same position in relation to the license plate.

Good deal.. I'll try to get to it when I get the truck back from PPF and ceramic coating this weekend. Thought about putting it on before they covered the truck but reconsidered it and will wait until after.

How is the reverse lighting on this? I have the VLED that goes on the license plate currently, but thinking about upgrading to this.

It may be how I installed it, but it's really bright for casting light far away... I don't get a lot of light from the reverse bulbs close to the tailgate, but there is a little cast immediately under it just because of the gap and reflecting off the bumper

Put the 2 18" putco on mine also. I was lazy so I attached them to the bumper right at the top where it goes back flat right on either side of license plate with the clips and works great. Much quicker install.

Hi All - bringing back up an older thread as I am having a bit of trouble figuring out how to get this to sit flush. I dont know if it is because I have the split tail gate, but it doesnt seem like there is any way to get this to sit flush due to the raised plastic (see pics). Anyone run in to this or have any suggestions? Thanks.
