You do good work. I'm impressed with the aluminum "Trays". If you broke that metal, you have skills. Light spacing is spot on... Let me guess, you're a machinist?

Did you put any spot lights in there! A couple floods and a pair of spots would be intense!

the flood reflectors would be just useless in front. IMO. all six parabola reflect for pensile beams yet the light spread is huge. I have so called stadium lights or zombie apocalypse lights if i really need it. rain on the lens does stunt the light notably. led focus tech still needs a little work. Crystal reflectors ruin a good led light and make it a short range white wash. like a bright marker light. maybe for a back up bumper light, crystals would look good.

amazing what 24w leds do these days though. old school 27w fog meet the new tech 24w fog. ONE pair would have been stronger compared to stock! I have the center two on all the time. the other four are switched off permanently. until I need to punish an ignorant high beam driver. BAM! I'm not a fan of being obnoxious. I just under estimated the pods.

If I posted a picture, you would need sun glasses to look at your computer! to verbily describe the light bank all on I couldn't write BRIGHT big enough!
JUST KIDDING. my one yellow clearance light is out and I didn't want a pict of that.

had a little trouble to mention if you'all would like to try something like this. take a closer look to the first and second picture. I have dashes and measurements on the bumper, the dashes pertain to the upper bumper bracket that impedes the light install. some modifying there, had the cut the steel profile. at 4 3/4 the bracket is between the light housing and lens flange mount bolts. tight fit right there. I made allowance with the slide bolts I have up in the head top flange of pan. that was the only obstacle I had to work around.
on the chrome bumper, the plastic air damb slides into elongated slots. no mods were performed on the chrome. I used those holes for #10 stainless through bolts. that air duct mount flange was 1 1/8 at the top and 5/8 at the bottom, consequently plumb on the back side. I fit my box pan to that from the back side.
I should mass produce these and make some money! whats it worth? or just give away my ideas on ram forum...

Very nice. The 2nd gens were so much easier to work on, and make custom stuff for. Not to mention all the room you have to work with.
