I added T-Rex style lights to my hood and an amber light behind the Ram emblem.
The hood lights installed quickly, I cut holes in the weather stripping that is between the hood and grill, fed the wires through the weather stripping and through the hood to the hood hinge and then back to the fuse box. The lights are held in place by the weather stripping and a little black silicone.
The emblem was a mess of trial and errors. I started with 1/4" plexiglass that I cut and routed to replace the original black background of the emblem. The plan was to replicate the OEM part and tint it so you wouldn't see the lights if they were off. However, I struggled getting it to fit how I wanted it to and changed my mind and decided to use some tinted corrugated plastic. I'm happy with the outcome, I do need to touch up a couple of small details with the overall seal of the light. I ran out of glue just before finishing so there a couple of spots that are thinner than I want.
I'm also planning on muting my chrome with some pray tint in the near future.
