I have a light problem and not sure if I'm even done with lights. Thought I'd show it off in case someone needs any ideas.

I would love to put some pods for reverse light but not sure if I could do it
Properly. They look great. Really good ideas floating around here with those

^^^^I tend to agree, even with my poor vision (I try not to drive at night) I find the backup camera is more than adequate (for me) when backing up. Of coarse the old saying "it's yours do what you will" comes to mind here. I just find some people do not know when enough is enough.

I would say all you need now is an LED thirds brake light.

What lights did you use for your grill? It looks like you have another set of parking lights below the white ones. Also, how did you mount them? I have the side underbody lights but mine are more of a blue then a white. I think I ordered the wrong color lol

Thanks for the compliments guys. I agree I don't want to go overkill. The reverse light pods aren't hard to do, adjusting to how you want is the hardest part. I actually just readjusted them and will see how they do. The eyes on the ram were a PITA. Which is why I haven't done the rear yet lol. Working with those tiny leds aren't the most fun.

The lights behind the grill are 2 10" Rigid E2's on top and 2 10" Rigid SR (Amber) below that. They're not parking lights, they are way brighter than my headlights.

Funny you say you got the wrong color lights. Actually wish my approach lights were a little cooler in color to match the rest of my lighting.

That's why I want warmer colored approach lights. The lights I have are the only bluish lights on my rig.

so for the reverse one what did you tap into to? I looked under my truck at the brake plug, seems easy enough but would be easier if I could figure out how to get it unplugged from the housing. I ordered 2 7" light bars to give this a try.



I got the plug undone. Earlier the sun was in my eyes while i was under there. I found the clips. Looks like the center wire is white with red stripe for reverse and the ground is black with grey stripe.

Sorry for such a long wait to respond. I just tapped into the wiring for the trailer plug. Im actually going to order some new reverse pods for more light. I messed up the mount adjusting the one. OOOPS lol

On another note I did get the rear ram head done. This one went easier now that Ive done it before and I bought leds with resistor and a section of wire pre-soldered.
