    I'm having some difficulty getting the LED Tailgate Bar to work properly. Any suggestions, comments, insight or help would be very appreciated. (PS: I'm not knowledgeable on electricity or auto wiring at all)

    ok cool. there is a way you can tie/wire up those led strips to the tow package. i don’t really know exactly how it works have never done it. hopefully a member that has done so will come alone and help.

    think there is an adapter that can be purchased... either a 6 or 7 Flat to 4 prong round adapter that will directly plug into the OEM Trailer/Tow plug.
