OPT7 Sidekick 78" Running Board Lights — 2PC LED Strips with Sequential Amber Turn Signal & White Courtesy Lighting

OPT7 Sidekick 78" running board lights are an LED side skirt kit that combines high-output white courtesy lighting with synchronized sequential amber turn signaling for safer, more visible entries and lane changes.

These 78-inch Sidekick strips mount along the vehicle's rocker panels to illuminate the ground when doors open and flash as an amber sequential turn signal when linked to your vehicle lighting. Built for rugged use, the bars are fully sealed to IP67 standards and use strong 3M adhesive for long-lasting attachment. The kit includes two full-length strips designed to fit most trucks and SUVs while providing both functional lighting and a modern styling upgrade.

How do these lights improve visibility when turning?

When wired to your vehicle's turn signal circuit, the Sidekick runs a progressive amber sequence across the strip that extends the visible signaling area lower on the vehicle. This makes your intended movement obvious to adjacent drivers and pedestrians, especially in busy traffic or low-light conditions.

• Sequential amber pattern synced to your turn signals for clear directional indication.
• Lower mounting height increases visibility from neighboring lanes and crosswalks.
• High-output LEDs stay noticeable even during daytime driving.

What does the door courtesy function do and how does it help passengers?

Opening a door triggers a bright white courtesy mode that lights the ground beside the entry point, offering safer footing and a premium welcome effect. This practical illumination reduces step errors and shows off the vehicle with a neatly integrated glow.

• White courtesy light activates when doors open for safer ingress and egress.
• Evenly distributed illumination along the entire 78-inch length for consistent coverage.
• Can be tied into parking or interior lights for customized behavior.

Are these running board lights durable for harsh weather and daily use?

The Sidekick strips are constructed to withstand varied climates and rough conditions, sealed to IP67 to resist water and dust ingress. They remain operational across a wide temperature range and use robust 3M tape so once installed they stay put through road vibration and weather exposure.

• IP67-rated sealing protects against rain, splashes, and road grime.
• Operates reliably from cold to hot temperatures common in vehicle environments.
• Industrial-grade 3M adhesive ensures secure long-term mounting.

How easy is installation and what support comes with the product?

Installation requires routing the strips along the rocker panels and connecting the wiring to your vehicle's lighting circuits; basic mechanical or electrical experience helps but many owners complete the install with standard tools. OPT7 backs the product with a one-year limited warranty and free lifetime technical support if troubleshooting or guidance is needed.

• Two 78" LED strips included to cover both sides of the vehicle.
• Wiring can be linked to turn signals, courtesy lights, parking lights, or running lights.
• One-year limited warranty plus free lifetime technical support from OPT7.
