I am planning on putting a wood flatbed on my truck. This will mean that I will need new tail.stop/turn and backup lights

Any ideas?

These are cool.

go steel?

I was thinking of having the lights extend all the way across the back

Can you just use a tailgate bar or does DOT require two separate lights?

DOT requires a certain amount of reflectivity on the back in addition to light. You taillights have little reflectors in the middle. I think the reflectors can be separate from the lights though, but not certain

Not sure how DOT would view a light strip as the only rear lights.

But, before I worry about DOT, I have to like what I put back there. Somehow, the light strips I have seen/found so far all seem a little "too slim" for my taste.

I want to be sure that when seen from the back, at night, there is no doubt the they can see the back of my truck - and that, during daylight my turn and brakes can be clearly seen.

I am just not sure that a thin light strip can do that if it is the only lights on the back.
