Pacer Performance Tailgate Light

Pacer Performance Tailgate Lights: Visibility You Can Count On

Pacer Performance has been a trusted name in truck accessories since 1965, and their lineup of tailgate lights is a prime example of why enthusiasts and working-truck owners alike keep coming back to the brand. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, Pacer has developed a focused family of tailgate lighting products that prioritize safety, ease of installation, and broad vehicle compatibility — all hallmarks of a company that has spent decades refining its craft.

The Outback Series: Multi-Function LED Light Bars

The centerpiece of Pacer's tailgate light offering is the Outback Series, which comes in two distinct configurations — the F4 and the F5 — each designed to mount cleanly between the tailgate and rear bumper to increase rear visibility for following vehicles.

• Outback F4: Pacer's Outback F4 Light Bars feature bright red LEDs with four functions including running light, brake light, right turn signal, and left turn signals, mounting neatly between the tailgate and rear bumper to add visibility. The 60-inch version is a popular fitment that fits most full-size pick-ups and some sport utility vehicles, and includes a simple 4-prong connector for hookup.
• Outback F5: The F5 version comes in two options — amber turn signals or red turn signals — with both featuring white backup lights. This adds a fifth function (reverse/backup lighting) over the F4, making it a more comprehensive solution for drivers who want maximum rear-end communication.

All necessary hardware and wiring is included, and the lights can be hard mounted or installed using included 3M self-stick tape, giving installers flexibility whether they prefer a permanent screw-mount setup or a clean, no-drill adhesive application.

Dualie-Style Tailgate Lights

Beyond the Outback light bar series, Pacer also offers Dualie-Style tailgate lights — a more traditional marker-light aesthetic for trucks that need a classic look. These come available in red, amber, clear, and blue lens colors, making them a versatile choice for custom builds or for matching existing truck styling.

Why Choose Pacer Performance for Tailgate Lighting?

Pacer Performance Products was founded in 1965 on the simple foundation of creating a unique group of automotive accessories of the highest quality while providing a level of customer service that was uncommon in the automotive aftermarket. In the tailgate light category specifically, this philosophy translates into products that are engineered for real-world truck use — not just aesthetics.

The Outback Series tailgate lights are more than just a third brake light; these multi-functional tailgate lights feature running light, brake light, and left/right indicator functions, making them a meaningful safety upgrade for any pickup. While other companies have come and gone, Pacer has continued to create new and innovative products, having created entire product categories that did not previously exist. Their tailgate lights reflect that legacy of category leadership in truck exterior lighting.

Whether you drive a full-size domestic pickup or a sport utility vehicle, Pacer Performance's tailgate lights offer a straightforward way to enhance your truck's rear visibility, comply with road safety expectations, and add a polished, purposeful look to the back end.
