OK Here is the deal with Plasmaglow..............'

PLASMAGLOW IS CRAP!!

PLASMAGLOW SELLS CRAP!!

PLASMAGLOW'S Warranty is CRAP!!

PLASMAGLOW'S Customer Service is CRAP!!

They should change their name to Plamadon'tglow..........

This is strictly my opinion based on several products received, returned, received, returned, and never worked.  This is by no means the OFFICIAL editiorial of the Owner or Staff of this site and is my personal opinion.



BEWARE OF PLASMAGLOW CRAP!!!!!!!!!

That would more than likely be Recon which is what I have on my AV.  The white lights only lasted about 3 months on mine before they started flickering and going out, so I disconnected the whites.  The reds have been working fine for 2 years now.

It would not be a plug and play tail light bar, but could be built into one real easy.  One thing you need to check first is if you can run blue lights in your State.  Many states will allow you to run blue lights AS LONG AS the lights are not directly visible and they don't flash.  Check your local lighting laws for color legality.

Lets see if I remember correctly:
The red is actually 6 pieces, two that wrap around the cladding, two long ones & and two short ones for under the tailgate.
The white is the same combination of two long and two short (I think).
The amber warning strip (think wig-wag) is made up of 6 strips.
All of these are double side taped and zip tied to a piece of plastic "L" that is then bolted to the plastic lip at the top of my bumper.

All in total this setup cost me about $200, and at least an hour of labor time before attaching it to the truck.  And it is wired into the truck with a custom made junction box.

Alot of that is going to depend on the dealership up here. Lets just say after getting everything worked out or so i thought i spent 2 hours at the dealership on Fri to "sign the contract" and i still havent signed it because the dealership made a HUGE mistake on the papers.
