I'd love to see something high mount that could double as a cargo light. maybe using some smaller "rock lights"?

I have a dent here i need to hide.lol

Is that a specific mount or stock?

I am a little late posting this as I set mine up a few weeks ago, but here is my setup.

I started from the engine bay to run the switch into the truck console (still working on the finalized setup of where it will sit) and the light wires underneath the truck back to the AUX lights. I followed the factory wires and zip ties underneath and zip tied mine to them. It took a total of 32 zip ties.

The AUX wire kit was not long enough so I had to extend the red and black wires. I used water proof connectors and completely covered the extended wires with wire wrap and used a heat gun to make it form fitting. I also used Tartan Vinyl Electric tape (which is waterproof) and completely wrapped all the wires to the AUX light (for extra piece of mind).

I left the zip ties uncut for the pictures to make it easier to show where they are. Also, the last picture showing the AUX light in the side mirrors through the tinted windows.





























EDIT: here are a few pictures of how the rack and AUX light are mounted.

Not sure which mount you are talking about. The trailor hitch was not originally on the truck at the dealer but I had them install it as per our agreement in my lease. I assume its a stock style Mopar hitch but it seems slightly different than the others I have seen but it is a class 5 hitch and came with that fancy rubber Ram hitch cover so I assume its mopar aftermarket.

The mounts for the LED modpods I made. The aluminum and the plastic sheet metal caps would cost you like $10 and then $15 each for the MOD pod and rear screw mounting adapter.

They are extremely bright! So bright I get the same "washed out" look that you see with the really bright back up lights in this thread when looking through the backup camera. The lights can actually be too bright when using the camera.

To your first question, they make splice connectors that you don't need to cut your original wire. Wire slips right in and just slices it to make contact. The new wire tip goes in next to it and the splicer is a conductor. You can take it off and the original wire will still be whole, but you will need to put a piece of electrical tape over the contact spot.

Thats not a good way to go, coppar cable will not like to be exposed to the element and will start looking like this soon (or google corroded coppar cable)


Better way to go is with a relay that don't tap in to anything, just sits beside the cable that has the signal https://xbb.nu/eng

The current sensor that just "hugs" the sending cable



If you have salt on the roads you will have problem first winter I'm guessing In Sweden we call that connection for power/electrical thief

Morimoto mod pod LEDs. Super bright!

Do you happen to have the part number for the modpod?

The only ones I’ve found are these:
Morimoto MP-M-SWITCH Black ModPod Mini Switchback Modular Light Pod https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072284NR1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_hErwBb3412074

These look like they will stick past the tow chain holes. Do you have any side and behind pictures of them installed?

Then select under mounting options, shaft mount, you need one for each. I originally got the prototype mod pod so I paid like $10 each so it was a good buy.

It only covers 1/4 if the chain hole if that. This is on the factory class5 hitch on my 18 Laramie. Used a curt hitch wiring adapter so I didn’t have to touch the factory wiring.

I might actually some yellow/amber lenses on them to help with glare and washout from the camera. Since they now sell them with all the options which I didn’t have when I originally bought the prototypes.

Thank you for the pictures, I am now on the hunt to find the shaft mount. Apparently it is sold out everywhere.

It’s in the thread I linked, but requires some drilling
