    I have a 2003 SR5 Tundra...1st generation...
    Original Owner with just 165,000 miles.
    I want to add an LED tailgate multi function light bar with sequential turn signals below the tailgate. Will this work? Has anyone else made this upgrade? Is there enough room? Would there be any obstructions. A little help would be appreciated.

    I had one on my 2002, it was fine until a rock got between my light and the tailgate and upon closing the tailgate, it pushed the rock into the light and broke that side of it

    Plenty of them on Amazon

    I had one on my 2005.
    Stuck it on with Velcro in case I needed to access the spare tire crank hole.
    I removed it a couple of years later when everyone started getting them.

    That was WAY before they had sequential turn signals and rev lights.

    As @Tundra2 suggested there are several on Amazon.
    Just read thru the reviews and pick one out..
    Measure your space and get the right length..

    Amazon.com : tail gate light strip

    Good luck and welcome to the forum..:thumbsup:

    Mc Tunning or XK Glow are the brands I've considered.
