I have traveled 2 years in my Tacoma/FWC. After my first year I bought a light strip that sticks between the bumper and tailgate. (in the crack, above picture)
I felt that I needed more light notification of stopping, so I bought it. By the time I got around to install it last fall, I felt it was too cold to get good adhesion to attach it.
The light strip has an adheasive peal-and-stick back, and based on my experience, adhearing it to the Tacoma’s composite (plastic) truck bed, it wouldn’t stick properly.
As you look st the picture above the light strip bends up in the center of the strip. This is because there is a square hole where the rod goes into to crank and lower the spare tire. So, I needed to bend the strip to go above the hole. I’m fine with this as I get the coverage I want.
I have 4-way flashers on in the above picture to show the lights work for directionals as well as braking.
You may be thinking that the tailgate somewhat obscures the light strip and it does, but when the camper is on the truck the tailgate is removed. A truck th
It comes with a 4 conductor trailer wire that plugs into the trailer wiring, but since I have a 7-pin round connector I have an adapter installed.
The light-strip will give me more light coverage during my general driving. I will share what it looks like with my FWC camper on future travels.
