LED Pickup Tail Light Bar – 108 SMD2835 LEDs, 12V 6W Triple Mode for American Trucks

Improve rear visibility and signalling on your American pickup truck with this dedicated LED tail light bar. Offering daytime running, brake, and turn signal functions in a single streamlined unit, it replaces the need for multiple separate lights. The 180-degree wide-angle beam and 108 bright SMD2835 LEDs ensure you are clearly seen in all conditions, while the original-vehicle connector means no cutting or modifying your truck’s existing wiring. Available in three lengths to suit different tailgate or bumper positions, this light bar delivers reliable, straightforward illumination.

Features and Construction

The light bar combines high-output LEDs with a practical triple-mode design, using colour-coded wiring for simple installation and consistent performance.

LED Output and Efficiency

108 SMD2835 LEDs are arranged at 72 LEDs per metre, drawing just 6W from a standard 12V vehicle electrical system. This provides enough light for clear daytime running, brake warning, and turn signalling without draining your battery, and the 180-degree wide-angle lens covers a broad rear field of view.

Triple-Mode Operation

The bar supports three primary modes: daytime running light (constant white light), left and right turn signals (amber flashing), and brake light (bright red constant when braking). A fifth wire enables a combined brake-and-turn signal mode. Switching between modes is managed through five colour-coded wires (red day positive, green left turn positive, yellow right turn positive, white brake positive, grey negative), allowing you to integrate with your truck’s existing light controller or aftermarket switch box.

Size and Physical Fit

Three length options are available – 155cm, 120cm, and 90cm – all with the same 14mm width and 6.5mm thickness. The slim profile fits along the tailgate, under the bumper, or across the rear frame. Choose the length that matches your truck’s rear width to ensure even coverage.

Uses and Placement

Designed specifically for American pickup trucks, this light bar suits both work and recreational vehicles that need clear rear signalling in all lighting conditions.

Brake and Turn Signalling

The bar can function as a combined brake and turn signal, or as separate lights depending on how you wire it. This is useful for trucks with aftermarket bumpers or removal of original tail lights where standard light clusters are no longer in place. The high-contrast red and white lens colours match typical US vehicle rear light regulations.

Daytime Running Light Function

Running as a constant white light during the day increases your pickup’s visibility to other drivers, particularly in bright sunlight or on highways where large vehicles can be harder to spot. The low power draw means you can leave it on without affecting battery health during normal driving.

Benefits and Buying Value

The key advantage of this tail light bar is its all-in-one functionality combined with simple installation via the original vehicle connector, reducing time and complexity.

No Circuit Modification Required

The supplied connector is designed to plug directly into the matching socket on American pickup trucks, so you do not need to cut, splice, or solder any factory wiring. This keeps installation straightforward for DIY users and preserves the vehicle’s electrical integrity.

Protection and Reliability

The integrated constant LED driver includes overload protection, short circuit protection, and over temperature protection, which helps prevent damage from voltage spikes or accidental shorts. This built-in protection is especially useful in truck environments where vibrations and temperature changes are common.
