Putco 900648 Tailgate Light Bar for Chevrolet Camaro - Rear Light Bar Accent

The Putco Tailgate Light Bar installs in minutes using supplied 3M tape or mounting screws for a secure installation. Can be used with towing / hitch packages with no wiring required if you have a hitch. Wiring is a breeze with the color-coded instructions. Available in a white / red (brakes, running lights, reverse lights). The LED bulbs are bright, long lasting and sure to turn heads.

Delivery was quick. The Light Bar was as I expected. Looks really nice especially at night. Installation was another story. First the product it self.The product is great if you are using it to connect to a trailer wire harness you just plug it in and your done. If you are hard wiring it to your vehicle here is the problem- the fuse wire is about an inch from the bar not giving enough wire to work with so that is frustrating. there are five wires- two white and three black.-reverse,ground,L turn,R turn and running. The instructions are useless they only identify what the wires on the light bar are for and not what to connect them too. so I had to use the web which was next to impossible because I have a 2012 camaro and no info yet. If you buy it, here are some tips installing on a 2012 Camaro... buy new scotch locks the ones they give you are too big. after drilling hole in bumper connect the L turn signal wire to the left side wire harness that is on the bumper to the yellow with black stripe wire (if you are standing behind the car its Left side behind driver) . the white reverse wire goes on the Left side wire harness connect to the light green wire. On the right side connect the Right turn signal to the green with light stripe on the wire harness on the bumper, connect the running lights wire to the Right side wire harness on the bumper to the brown wire. I just grounded the ground wire to metal on the frame. final the fuse wire you will see a plastic support on the bumper run the fuse wire under that. be sure to test before you put bumper back on. If you have questions feel free to email me at [email protected]. This took me awhile because I had to figure it out myself so I hope this info is helpful. Too me the extra time was worth it the light bar looks great. Good Luck.

Rell :

This was a Christmas gift from my wife, and I just installed this today on my 2011 Camaro. The LED light bar looks really nice, works great, and seems to be high quality. I agree with the other reviewers, however, that the instructions are really poor. This product is being sold to fit 2010-Current Camaro, so I would assume that the manufacturer would have done the research, and listed the wire colors and locations on the tail light harness that you have to connect to. Not so. Instead, they just tell you to take a voltmeter and figure it out yourself!!!

The wiring scheme for the 2011 Camaro is as follows:
LED Light wire 1 (White wire; Ground) connects to Black wire on inside passenger tail light.
LED Light wire 2 (Black; Brake) connects to Brown/White wire (running lights) on inside passenger tail light.
LED Light wire 3 (Black; Passenger Turn) connects to Green/White wire (Passenger turn) on inside passenger tail light.
LED Light wire 4 (Black; Driver Turn) connects to Yellow/Black wire (Driver turn) on inside DRIVER SIDE tail light.
White LED light wire (Reverse) connects to Green wire on either Reverse light.

I didn't use the supplied scotch lock connectors because they were too big. Instead, I soldered the connections and put heat shrink tubing over the splices.

When you drill the 1/2" hole in the fascia to route the wires through, be sure that the hole clears the little mounting nub on the back of the fascia.
Dress all the wires with tie wraps.
There is a little cubby hole in the rear of the fascia that is convenient to stuff the fuse.

To remove the fascia, you will need a 7 mm socket, and also a T15 Torx socket. There is a good video on how to remove the fascia on YouTube. Search for "2011 Camaro Rear Fascia Removal".

The installation took me about 3-4 hours, but I really took my time and made sure it was done properly. Of course, this also includes a significant amount of time that it took to figure out the tail light wiring, information that should have been in the instructions!

Buy it

I have a 52" light bar I bought off ebay 4 months ago now all of a sudden there 3 upper lights on the opposite end of where the wires come have stopped working  how can I fix this problem 

Good evening,

I hope you have a good day. I'm interested in being a distributor of your brand. I am from Panama City, Panama and right now the market of the led bars in here is great because people like to invest in their cars. I already sell lights in my city, but now many people wants to buy led bars and I believe it would be great if your brand comes to Panama. 

If you have any question, please contact me. 

Greetings,
