LED bulbs in factory fog housings. Bright, but bright chaos. a retro may be in order.

I’m feeling like the people around you when you’re driving will not be too happy. :)

Yikes. I wonder how much heat those LEDs generate compared to the OEM incandescent lamps.

I didn’t think so either as my Accord lights stay cool to the touch.

Nice car, i actually have to wrap the grill on my buddies this weekend.


As for the LED stuff im pretty sure we are on point. Ive been to training a bunch of time for new products for work(i work for audi, aka LED kings) and they stress how much better LEDs are than standard.

Wrapped the taillights using Luxe Auto lense tint film. Ive always used VHT spray tint, and i will never ever touch a can of that stuff again. This film is so easy to work with and gives the perfect glossy finish. They do a lot of mopar stuff, so i was kind of surprised they didnt have any precut kits for the ram. So i just bought a 1 yard x 20" roll and that was enough to do the tails and the 3rd brake light.

I went with the mid smoke level, they have 1 darker and 1 lighter. Mid smoke is darker than i anticipated but im very happy with the outcome. Im glad i did not go dark smoke as i think it would have just been solid black.

After wrapping, i used a fresh blade to cut out the reverse and cargo light clear sections.

Picked up some OEM black badges from the dealer, inlayed them with some white vinyl. Dont get me wrong the black badging on its own looks good, but i dont like how you cant see the rams head from farther away. I like how the vinyl kinda highlights it. Curious to see how close the white matches to the paint.

Thanks guys !

Really loving the black and white theme. I had a white Audi s4 a few years back and i opted for the "black optic" package. Loved that look. Glad i can do a similar style with the ram.

Been a bit since ive updated. Not much has changed since then.

-Debadged Tail Gate
-Installed Hitch
-Carven Progressive
-Painted Tips Black

Dont mind the tips not being fitted correct in the pic, that has since been addressed. I will however say they do stick out a tiny bit farther than the factory ones. But not enough for me to do anything about it.

I am in LOVE with the sound of this thing now.
