been thinking about this for a while. quick chop to get a general idea how it would look. the pic i snagged for the led was more of a light bulb, but had the best spread. what ya think? what sucks is i would have to dremel out the black park.....and i ain't that good with a dremel.

seems noone else is interested.


here i found this on a cummins forum.


Next, I removed the Ram emblem using fishing line. (10 Pound test)
It's actually held to the Grille with double sided tape, but there are 2 "Locator" pins on it, so the easiest way to remove it is work some fishing line between it and the grille in a sawing motion. You have walk the line around the locator pins, but that's no biggie. After that, you pry gently with a slender screwdriver or knife.

Just remember, you can't just start on one side and cut through to the other side.


Once you get the emblem off the grille, you will be able to release the latches that hold the chrome Ram's head to the black background. No double sided tape on that part.

here is what he made.

obviously this is an 06+ ram but the process should be the same for an 02-05. find something transparent like tinted plexiglass or frosted plexiglass and get to cutting. some states it is illegal to have blue or red lights or maybe blue and red lights? i dontknow just a disclaimer watch out for dem po po's

^^^^Yup Exactly. Here we can have red or blue but they must not flash. Oh and no light bars on normal vehicles. Just passing the info. That looks Cool!!! I would do it in a heartbeat but alas my emblem is one full piece. Oh well.

some company makes a light up emblem. I think you could make one look pretty good. You could cut out directly behind the emblem to fit enough space to run a wire

Im just trying to figure out a way to dissipate the light across the flat surface evenly.

just make sure you cut it at a steady pace so it doesnt melt. i saw it on unique whips or something they did a whole roof with custom plexi.
