I would think they are. That's an interesting situation. What is the rest of the story?

Yes they are all the same now that they put the tri lights on the lower section of the box on the new duallys. That has allways been the only reason the duallys had a different gate part number
I put those lights on my SRW. My truck now self identifies as a SRW Dually.

Yo brutal, do you have any pics of those lights? I am not sure what you are referring to.

LED Tailgate Lamp Bar?
I have a 2020 Ram 3500 (single rear wheels) and I would like to add the factory LED Tailgate Lamp Bar (68362184AB) (mounting clips, 6509432AA, qty. 2), like other 3500's with dual rear wheels have. My question is does anyone know if the rear wiring has the existing plug in, so this LED Tailgate...

3500 Tailgate light bar
who has installed the 3500 tailgate light bar on their 2500. I have a 2018 Big Horn addition and was thinking about doing this. Was wondering does it bolt right on, and is the wiring at the tailgate already? Any help would be appreciated

I actually did the same on my 2001 dually as i had 2 tailgates (one 5th wheel ) and my original gate was dented when i bought the truck so i used a 2500 gate and a cheap led tri light as you can see in the pic, this was when i was in the process of making a 3rd gen homemade gate fit my 2nd gen i dont have any finished pics but it turned out pretty sweet

Ok Thanks! I was not aware that dually's had them. I did an inventory search looking for what you were talking about and did not see it. They are certainly not an "in your face" addition.View attachment 11028

Why do you suppose they thought it is necessary or just a good idea to put them on dually's and not on all HD's?

Dually's need them by law as they are 8 ft wide the rest of the trucks are under width so they do not require tri lights

Interesting...I don't see how mounting another light dead center in the rear brings attention to the excess width.
Some like them, and that's cool if you do, but after putting some thought into it, that "in your face" LED light strip was what I was trying to avoid. I also like stuff that looks more factory than tacked (tacky) on.

I'm all in with the "factory" look too.

I have no clue but the government says they need it makes no sense to me either
I would hazard a guess so that it doesn't appear as two (perhaps motorcycles) vehicles in the dark.
But <shrug> beats me.

Fair point i never put any thought into it

So basically this factory LED light is just a 4 LED marker light?
It's actually just 3 LED.
Certainly subtle. Again, not like the wide LED stick on bars with tail/turn/stop.
