OPT7 Tailgate Light Bar 60-Inch

A basic tailgate light can leave important signals hard to notice, especially when a truck is braking, turning, or backing up. The OPT7 Redline Parlux adds a row of rear-facing lights with several signal functions in one strip.

Its sequential red turn signals and startup animation give the rear of the truck a more noticeable look. The listing says the lights can be visible up to 30 feet.

The key buying detail is installation: the right harness depends on the truck and its equipment, and the harness is sold separately.

Technical details

This is a rigid, 60-inch tailgate light bar with an aluminum body and a triple-row LED design. It provides running, turn, brake, reverse, and hazard functions. The turn signals are sequential, when reverse is selected, the white lights flash three times before staying on continuously.

The bar is described as fully sealed with an IP67 waterproof rating, and the listing says its transparent-glue design can handle temperatures down to -20°F. That makes it intended for wet and snowy conditions, though the available information does not describe how the bar performs after long-term exposure or physical damage. OPT7 includes a one-year warranty from the order date.

Compatibility & requirements

Installation is not one-size-fits-all. Trucks with a factory trailer tow package or towing sensors require the separate OPT7 Hardwire Kit. The hardwire setup is listed for 2015–2025 F-150, F-250, and F-350, RAM 1500, 2500, and 3500, and 2015–2018 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500, 2500, and 3500. The listing specifically says not to hardwire 2019-and-newer Silverado or Sierra models.

For plug-in setups, the OPT7 Easy Connect Harness is listed for 2019–2021 Silverado/Sierra 1500 and 2015–2023 F-150. The USCAR Harness is listed for older 2005–2014 pickup trucks. These harnesses are also sold separately, so the light bar alone may not provide everything needed to install it. Check the truck’s year, model, and towing equipment before ordering. A 60-inch bar does not establish fit for every tailgate, without that measurement, the available mounting space remains uncertain.

Usage tips

Before mounting, identify which harness matches the truck and confirm that the intended wiring method is allowed for that model. That matters most on newer trucks with towing sensors, where choosing the wrong setup could turn a simple installation into extra wiring work.

For a practical use case, the running lights can add a visible strip at the tailgate during ordinary driving, while the brake and sequential turn functions provide additional signals when slowing or changing lanes. The reverse-light sequence is a specific feature for backing up, not a substitute for checking the area behind the truck. A solid pick if you want several rear-light functions in one rigid bar and are comfortable sorting out the correct harness. It might not be a great match if you need a confirmed plug-and-play kit in the box or want a vehicle-specific fit guarantee that is not provided here.

Before you decide

Is the wiring harness included? No. The listed hardwire and plug-in harnesses are sold separately.

What signals does the bar provide? Running, turn, brake, reverse, and hazard functions, with sequential turn signals.

What happens when reverse is selected? The white reverse lights flash three times, then remain on continuously.

Buying verdict

This OPT7 bar makes the most sense for a truck owner who wants multiple tailgate lighting functions and has confirmed the correct wiring route and mounting space. Its aluminum body, sealed construction, and reverse-light sequence give it more specific appeal than a basic light strip. The tradeoff is that compatibility depends on truck details and a separately purchased harness, so skip it if you need a clearly confirmed installation path before checking your vehicle’s year, model, and towing setup.
