LED bar installation !!!

[GTC-NOVA]

I purchased a LED bar .....IPCW LED Tailgate Light Bar .... this LED bar needs to be hardwired into the existing back lights (brake, signals, reverse). Did anybody install something like this and can give some expert heads-up? I bet it is not very hard...and I have the time and the tools.

they usually install with doublesided tape.

if u have a tester its extremely easy...do u have one?

they use 3m 2 sided tape i had one on my last truck for almost 2 years with no probs . you need to run the signals off the front and the break needs to tie into the third break light as the rears turn and break use the same circuit. i had one on my last truck and never got around to finding the third break light hopefully Nos can find what and where that wire is the rest is pretty easy.

They come with a 3M self sticking tape, but I plan to put some screws. The place to nstall it is right under the tailgate in a protected space about 1.5 inch wide. Appreciate the help.
