We have a 2019 Ram 1500 in the Laramie trim.
Were trying to figure out what the two long lenses are that are under the interior light that come on when you open the doors ?
are they lights?
How do you turn them on ?
We have the 12" screen if that make a diff >

Ok, I have a Limited but I would assume they are the same...

You have 4 lights, 2 on each side. 2 Door lights and 2 "map/reading" lights.

The big space you circled is not a light. It is only the 4 ahead of it (2 on each side) that are actual lights. If you look closely it is just a silver background under the "big rectangular" space.

I can only make assumptions from here as to why they did it like this. Make up your own or maybe a RAM engineer will chime in

Reflects the light - (does not seem so - bit we are guessing)
Same console plastic mold so they had to do "something"
Comfort feeling looking like truck of the past
I guess it is possible they have sensors underneath

TO be more specific... there are 3 segments on each side - looking at one side only

LED

BLANK SPACE

LED = Door
LED = Door/Map light with button when vehicle is in "normal operation"
