Choosing a Putco Blade tailgate light bar involves two separate decisions: the space available behind the tailgate and whether you need amber or red turn signals. The 92009 models illuminate amber for turns; the 92010 Red Blade models illuminate red. Both families add red running/brake and white reverse functions, but neither model number alone proves vehicle wiring compatibility.
Choose amber or red turn illumination
Red running and brake, amber turn signals, white reverse.
Red running, brake and turn signals, white reverse. No amber turn function.
Colour swatches show functions conceptually, not the actual LED layout or wiring sequence.

Product length is the nominal light bar length. Measure clearance for the tailgate to open, license plate and trim, and any sensors or camera.
Five checks before installing a tailgate Blade
- Measure the straight mounting space behind the closed tailgate and confirm clearance when it opens.
- Select 48 or 60 inches by available space, not by truck badge alone.
- Choose amber-turn 92009 or red-turn 92010 according to the intended signal display and local requirements.
- Confirm the truck's trailer-light circuits and whether a separate vehicle-specific plug-and-play harness is required. The basic Blade is not supplied with a vehicle-specific plug-and-play harness.
- Check for interference with backup sensors, cameras, tailgate operation and other lighting before securing the bar.
