Default LED Light bars

Has anyone put on or know if i can put one on an '02 Avalanche, below the tailgate. I tryed with a regular boat trailer light bar and they were too tall and hit the tailgate when it was lowered. Not sure about this kind. I believe these are thin enuf to use w/o any problems. Thanx, Jim

image_num = 0;
function popup_image() {
windowString = '/alerts/popup_image.aspx?partfamilyid=776&imagenum='+image _num;
window.open(windowString,'f776i' + image_num,'width=200,height=200,status=no,location =no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,depend ent=yes');
}
function RotateImage(imagenum,width,height,src,ShowEnlarge) {
var theImage = document.getElementById?document.getElementById('c tl00_Body_ctl00_ctl14_PartsImage_imgMainImage'):do cument['ctl00_Body_ctl00_ctl14_PartsImage_imgMainImage'];
var caption = document.getElementById?document.getElementById('C aption' + image_num):document['Caption' + image_num];
if(caption != null)
caption.style.display = 'none';
var enlarge = document.getElementById?document.getElementById('c tl00_Body_ctl00_ctl14_PartsImage_pnlEnlargePhoto') :document['ctl00_Body_ctl00_ctl14_PartsImage_pnlEnlargePhoto '];
enlarge.style.display = (ShowEnlarge ? 'block' : 'none');
image_num=imagenum;
theImage.width=width;
theImage.height=height;
theImage.src=src;
caption = document.getElementById?document.getElementById('C aption' + imagenum):document['Caption' + imagenum];

I bought one from an auto parts store. (Advance Auto) A company called Optix makes it and it fits mine just fine. Ran about $40. They are universal as most full size trucks (even Avalanches) have the same tailgate width and clearance.

this looks like it would be a cool cheaper mod to do.

I thought it would have been a waist of money but I love it. Plus when you hit the brakes at night, everything turns bright red behind you. They are pretty bright.

I saw one on a truck that the lights light up depending on how much you hit the brakes (or maybe how long you have been on them). They light up from the middle and work their way out. Is this what you guys are looking at, or are these on/off when you hit your brakes?

Mine is on/off, bright with brakes, dim with parking lights / headlights on, and flash on either side with the turn signals.

Flashing with turn signals... that's pretty cool too.
