Hey guys,

Here’s a step-by-step guide to installing our LED Hood Side Marker Light. This mod adds a set of lights to the side of your hood, giving your truck a more aggressive and custom look.

🔧The Installation Process:

🌟Before You Start:
  • Check Compatibility: Our kit ships with a 16-pin connector. Please verify your headlight's plug type before proceeding.

  • Test First: You can skip Step 1 and jump to Step 2 to test the electrical connection before the full installation.
Step 1: Install Light
  • Use a pry tool to remove the corresponding original panel (Fig. 1) and open the front hood.
  • Peel off the adhesive backing from the side marker light. (Fig. 2)
  • Thread the light's wire through vehicle's existing hole, and press the light firmly into place. (Fig. 3)

Step 2: Connect Wires
  • Connect the wire from the side marker light to the T-harness. (Fig. 4)
  • Locate and unplug the main connector from the back of the headlight (Fig. 5), then plug it into the female end of the T-harness (Fig. 6).
  • Finally, plug the remaining male end of the T-harness into the headlight, completing the circuit.

Step 3: Secure Wiring
  • Remove the adhesive backing from the wire clip and secure it to a surface in the engine bay. (Fig. 7)
  • Route the loose wiring neatly and secure it with a zip tie. (Fig. 8)

Step 4: Install Opposite Side
  • Remove the air filter box for access (Fig. 9), and the connector location on this side is shown below (Fig. 10).
  • Then repeat the installation process (Steps 1-3).

Any chance of a similar product being developed for the Sport Hood "1500" side emblems?
Thanks!

Thanks for the great idea! I'll definitely share this with our team.

Could you shoot over some more close-up pics of those Sport Hood "1500" side emblems? And just a quick question: is your headlight connector a 16-pin?

Really appreciate your help!

Hi John,

Like your LED Hood Side Marker Light Kit with the 16 pin Headlight Plug Harness, my 2024 Laramie G/T has LED Headlights and 16 pin Headlight Plug Harness also.

I believe all 2019-2025 Ram 1500s with LED Headlights get the 16 pins connections versus the Halogens having the 12 pin connections.

Here's some additional pics (sorry I don't have better lighting..I can take outdoor pics tomorrow if needed).

The "1500 Hemi eTorque" emblem is inserted into the Sport Hood Rear Louver piece..it is removable.

Let me know what else you might need👍

This is fantastic, thank you so much for the detailed feedback!

We'd absolutely love to see even more photos, especially those outdoor shots if you get a chance tomorrow. That would be awesome!
