Not sure if this counts as a mod, since it is almost 70° here. I had my RT Tires rebalanced and installed .3e2342c90e739c719c1b31e2cee9c0ab.jpg

New Math. 100.00 spent 5 times.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Sometimes stuff is more expensive in Canada so it’s hard to get under the $100 mark for me.

Took a pic of the license plate lights. There isn’t a big enough selfie stick to take a pic of my reverse lights though lol

Or just turn on ignition but don't start it and put it in Reverse. Safer

Can we do that with the dial shifter ?

I would think so once the ignition is in the run position put your foot on the brake and shift to reverse.

I think that’s how I did it too. I know I used a ten pound dumbbell on the Pedal to see the brake lights.

Looks good, nice and blinding. Sad thing is so many people still won’t see you backing up.

I know it’s boring but I got some license plate lights on amazon and some reverse bulbs. The license plate lights are good as they light up the plate with a white/blue light and it doesn’t glare into the camera when reversing. The reverse lights are decent. For the prices can’t go wrong [emoji106]

So are the same lights used for both the backup and license plate lights? You only have a link to one light listed.

Also, do you feel the new back up lights are significantly brighter than the stock?

If you click on them they should bring up the corresponding product. The links looks the same but they aren’t. I just tried it and it worked. Do you guys not see the two links ? I know on my end I’ve been having issues with pics and links

My bad, the text above second link said it is for an LCD TV. The link actually goes to the second set of LED lights.

That’s so weird. Not sure if it’s my phone, tapatalk or ramforum but I’ve been having issues on here for a bit now

Just installed one this weekend and your're right best $25 mod out there!
I second this. My 6 year old was outside while I was cutting the grass... looked away for a second and she walked over to the truck and was trying to open the tailgate... thing would have knocked her straight out. One of the better mods for sure.
