Custom lights take forever!!!!!

[RusslRam]

They are the flush mount pods like a lot of people put on their bumpers. I cut a piece of metal to mount the pod to. I had to cut out most of the high beams bezel. Left the inside part of the bezel and made a slot that the metal could slide into. I have a small L bracket that is used on entertainment shelves . One side of the bracket has a hole and the other has a sleeved stud. I drill a whole in the bottom of the light housing the was just a little smaller than the stud. Pushed it in the whole and the other side I'm going to bolt to the piece of metal that holds the pod. I'll try to take some pictures of the Light bracket when I get off work.

Wellll, you know what opinions are like.......lol
I personally like the bottom pic, black in white

 

[nateinva]

I say white on black...

 

[MarshRam]

Yeah, use the black backing. Will tie in nice with everything else on your truck.

After trying all combinations even white on white I've come back to all black for the high beam flush mounts. All I have to do is get the white paint match for the housing.

Looks nice so far, but please don't run red or blue up front while on the streets... not only is it illegal it also confuses other motorists. Also make sure you adjust those lights and LEDs properly once they are installed... nothing aggravates me more than being blinded by some clown who thought he'd be cool and install aftermarket lights then didn't bother to properly align them. I had a pair of 4500 lumen aircraft landing lights hidden behind the grille of my Mustang for people like that... and I've been itching to put them on the Ram in the same manner.

Ya that was an impulse moment. If I do another set I would do the hid with color but on these just the new high beams and paint.

And wiring is done. Bench tested and everything works. Now just have to finish painting the Amber corners black and seal them up. Hopefully be done this weekend.

Mad props man.

If I did this (with my luck), within a week I would have 2 or 3 burned out bulbs in there.

Sealed with oci and now just waiting until later tonight or tomorrow to install them. It's already 110* outside.

What's funny is baking them and pulling the lens off isn't that bad.

That was hell for me. Glued on both sides. I struggled for hours to open one headlight.

Looking good!

Can't wait to see a full view of the front with the hood shut.

Love your grille too!

 

[RusslRam]

Here u go

That is a sick looking truck.

Very nice.

Where did you get that grille? Link?

 

[RusslRam]

Was just going to pull apart and reseal but figured why not start another set of lights. Might be the aftermarket lights or the new tool from retroshop I got but these lights took me 45 min start to finish to pull apart. Still need to remove the glue just waiting for the glue to cool down. Thinking of putting projectors in this set and maybe some Amber fog lights where the high beam would be. Suggestions are always welcomed and wanted

Started trying to make a plan or point of attack for these lights. I'm going to out projector in this pair and figured since it was both high and low beam that I would put Amber fog lights in the high beam housing. Trying to go outside the box. Something like this
