Line of Fire for Flareside

I had looked but really didn't see anything. I saw that Underdog used to have them but he is no longer around. Where do you get a Line of Fire for a flareside? It looks like the ones on Ebay only go to 49". I am not really a fan of them but my turn signals are to dim on my truck with the modded '06 tails.

What's the length? Maybe a universal kit would work.

I think it's 46".

I saw these. I could get two of them and put one kinda on each side under the tail gate.

That would work. You could even do 3 of them and then just wire the middle one to be brake only. To keep it even looking.

Plasmaglow makes a few different ones that should work:

Flexible 'Cut to Length' Fire & Ice: Fire & Ice LED Tailgate Bar | PlasmaGlow
36" w/ 'Firestorm Scanning LED Tailgate Bar': FireStorm Scanning LED Tailgate Bar | PlasmaGlow
36" w/ 'Night Raider Scanning LED Tailgate Bar': Night Raider Scanning LED Tailgate Bar | PlasmaGlow

I know there are others out there as well....

What I did was I bought a autozone one and just cut it to length.

I've been wanting an LED bar for a while now, I'm thinking about going with the Plasmaglow, but I wish they were a little cheaper

if you go with the plasma glow one, make sure you order it with the optional plug in resistor. when i ordered mine and plugged it and turned on the directional, it would blink the whole bar. called up plasma glow and they basically told me i fried the bar because i didnt have the resistor. i sent the bar back, and they sent me a new one with resistor adapter free of charge.

but, mine lasted a year. and after a year it crapped out. and as far as i know, theres only a year warranty i think. mines been sitting in the garage for at leasst 3 years. the sealant on the one end got eaten away and water got in the bar and fried again. at that point i said screw it. the winter environment i live in was hell on it, and the fact i used my truck for work, landscape debris in and out the truck all the time and all kinds of stuff didnt help either. just my two cents

I took the 49" model, cut one end off to fit.
Don't cut too much, cut just enough to fit between the bed opening.
Seal up the ends.
