What is a tailgate reflector?

cochino12 · 09-24-2003, 01:57 PM

They are just reflectors that are on the tailgate. I think they only came on dually's and crew cabs, I am not sure what they are actually called.

Those aren't just reflectors, they are lights. They are clearance lights put on duallys. They are required because they are over a certain width. Same with the ones on top of the cab.

Maybe my truck doesn't have the original tailgate but It doesn't have any wiring to them at all. The cab lights light up but the ones on the tailgate don't

Here's mine:

Seems wierd how bright the license plate reflects, but all I did was blank out the numbers. The lights are lit, not reflecting.

I want a tailgate with those clearance lights on them... They just look so cool at night, not to mention the fact that I need a new tailgate anyways
