LED tailgate lightbar
 
I want to get an LED tailgate light bar. I live in the snow and i want to know if they are durable even with salt on the roads.

Well, I'm not sure about salt and all.

I just bought some red led strips last night off of ebay. Got 7 strips for 11 bucks.

They are waterproof, so they might be ok in the salt and all, just try and keep them clean.

you should be fine, i'd just tape up your connections real good

Dont buy a bully bar led strip. Mine had cold solder joints on the main board and stopped working after a month. I electrical taped all the connections which kept it out of the salt and water

Never had a problem with winter killing my light bar...you should be fine. As stated above its always a good idea to tape up the connections though

Reacon's line of fire bar is pretty good. I've never had any problems.

Yep, junk. I have a streetglow that has lasted me over two years through the salt. Two weeks with the Bully brand and one rain and it was shot.
