Hi there.. @Socalramfan where did you get your can lights from? Are they Mopar ones or one of those LED kits that you see for $40 - $60 on ebay?

 

[Socalramfan]

Can lights? Or did you mean ‘Cab’ lights?

Had Mopar clear lens originally, but decided to go with a smoke led lens. Purchased them off of EBay, and haven’t had any issues. @ $ 50 from what I recall. All external pods, bar etc are Ridgid.

Yup.. Sorry.. I mean't the cab lights. LOL

Thanks for the reply. I understand it now. So you had the benefit of having the original Mopar kit and the template to get the holes in the proper location prior to having these smoked LED ones.

I'm thinking of getting a set of those for my cab. I've seen some pretty good LED stuff on ebay, but I'm wondering whether they come with the template like the Mopar ones do.

Maybe I will go for a set of amber Mopar ones.

 

[Socalramfan]

Yes, Mopar provided the template which is a MUST. The other kits do not from what I’ve seen, as they are ‘replacement’ lights.

Measure ‘3’ times, be patient, and then drill in. You don’t extra holes etc.

For me…. I’d get the OEM ones, and if it works out…. Spend the extra for leds if you want.

This is really a great looking truck. The stance, wheels, tires, everything on truck just right.

 

[Socalramfan]

Thank you sir, it’s a blast to drive too

I know this is old but I’m new so….

I like this conversion a lot. Great job! Also what mud flaps are those?

 

[Socalramfan]

Thank you, really appreciate that

Mud flaps are ‘Gatorbacks’. Extremely happy with them. Have certainly made a difference in keeping things clean and damage free. Also don’t want to be ‘That Guy‘ who’s kicking up rocks etc onto others behind me.

A little pricey, but it is a ‘ you get what you pay‘ for item.

Congrats, very nice looking rig. Would you be able to share where you got your "chicken lights" and how you mounted/wired them? That's exactly what I'd like to do on my bars.

 

[Socalramfan]

Thank you. Which ones are you referring to….. the ones on the side or the ones on the front airdam?
