So I want an LED Tailgate Light Bar for my 2003 F150 KR Super Crew Flareside (49" bed) but I cant decide/find a good and cheap one.


I would really like the scanning type and all red (No amber turn signal because my turn signals on the back arent amber) and I want the white reverse as well.


Right now all i'm finding that fit the bill is the PlasmaGlow FireStorm light bar...http://www.plasmaglow.com/firestorm-led-tailgate-bar/
-But I cant find it for under $150 and even then some of the places I find it dont specify if its the Red or Amber...


The other option is the Recon "White Lightning" but it doesn't have the scanning...http://www.gorecon.com/product.php?p...D-Tailgate-Bar
-I can find these a little cheaper but i really like the scanning.


So...anyone have any opinions, suggestions, links to cheaper or know other brands that are reliable/good that do what i want??


Thanks!!

 

Plasmaglow is the maker of the Scanning pattern I believe. Bully (AutoZone's brand name manufacturer) makes one as well, but its a 3-pc and is COMPLETE CRAP for only $30. I've hear of nothing but problems for Recon (I'm not surprised). My Plasmaglow is a little over 5 yrs old. I love it every time my lights are on.

 

Looks like I may be sucking it up and dishing out the cash then...

 

The 2 do not intersect.
My recon line of fire is 5 + YO now, and no problems with it to date, but this is the non sequential version without the backup option on it.
Dad has the reverse option on his '01 for ~ 6 years now without issue.
- this is 2 direct cases in winter climates ( and salt states ) that the recon works just fine.

The recon sequential version is the recon Xtreme Scanning Amber, White, & Red LED Tailgate Bar.
This looks to have amber scanning turn signals, red stop and tail lamps and the reverse function. This seems to be ~ 125.00 + S/H depending on the site.

 

Save your self some money and just go a truck stop or heavy truck dealer and buy some good quality marker lights make your own. My Recon bar didn't make it past two years before it stopped working.

 

I dont recall the brand off hand (I'll try to find it later) but i bought mine at Oreilly for $45 with white reverse lights and I've had it for a year and no problems thus far. Though it is a 60".

 

Mine is an Anzo and I recall they also had a 48" bar in stock but that was a year ago.
