Defect LED technology has not only drastically reduced the energy consumption of the lamps, it has also created completely new design options, such as a 3D tunnel effect, light curtain, indirect reflectors and glowing body. Rear lamps therefore also have a growing influence on individual vehicle design, not only for passenger cars, but also in the commercial vehicle and agricultural sectors. They can even serve as a distinguishing feature for the relevant brand – a trend that HELLA supports with customised designs and corresponding optical systems.

Fuses can get blown due to high voltage or get damaged due to power surges and similar situations. When a fuse is bad, it affects all electrical accessories connected to it; a bad fuse can restrain electrical current from getting to connected accessories, and that includes the tailgate light bar. Solution(s):US law prevents any taillight colors other than red, amber, and white. Hence those are the only color variations you’d commonly get in these LED light bars. At the minimum, a tailgate light bar should accommodate red and white colors — with the red LEDs functioning as the running lights, brake lights, and turn signals, and the white as reversing lights. Though, it’s nicer if you can get one capable of producing amber color too for clearer turning signals and hazard lights. Ease of Installation This particular tailgate light strip has a rust-resistant aluminum chassis and is available in either 60- or 48-inch lengths (with the 48-inch housing 780 LEDs instead). The bar also has IP67 dust- and water-resistant rating and a pre-installed adhesive foam tape for easy mounting.
