What did you do to your Ram today???

[Insanity]

There is friendly ribbing then there is well uncalled for, that seems to happen all too much on this forum. Guess some get far too comfy smashing their dirty **** beaters on a keyboard without the option to get punched in the face. Isn't the internet just grand?

I see one common denominator here and it is... Do you remember when you had to talk **** to someones face?

Take your bickering to DM's tough guys


Meanwhile, let's keep this thread on track! Between putting up lights at the house and a whole lot of other things, I found time to install some chase/backup lights. The brackets are from Aegis Offroad, I REALLY like them since my bed cover fit perfect and they have a cool design to them.

Lights are the Diode Dynamics SS2 Sports in flood. They have the red backlight feature and my plan was to wire that to the brake lights. However, I couldn't quite figure that out using the trailer plugs so I think I'm going to have to tap into the 3rd brake light. Unless anybody has a better idea? I really don't want to mess with the 3rd brake given the history they have lol

Brightness isn't crazy but I can't justify paying for the pro version.

And my stickers are blocked now

Pics!!





Look at that Max Steel color at the bottom of that picture

Not sure who you bought the lights from, but it sounds like you didn't get a plug-and-play harness to go with it. @Shifts And Grins Fab sells a harness that connects in to your trailer wiring (behind the bumper) and supports brake/reverse/running lights. Here's the dual-output version (they have a single output version as well). You might contact them to make sure all the wiring is the same for your specific light setup.

Did they fix the tank? I believe theres a TSB or Star Bulletin on the filler neck issue.
And A/S/S won’t work if the A/C compressor needs to run to maintain the cabin temp. When you were in the desert, were you running the A/C?

I did mention the TSB's and such. They pulled the tank and all parts, checked them and did to d a small piece of some kind of foam in one of the valve adore in the filler neck.
They filled the tank with no issues, but that's hit and miss as far as I can tell from that trip. We'll see how it goes.

As far as the AS/S, yeah, it was rubber hot! (29 Palms, CA)
It gave warnings on the dash that said it need the system "serviced".

So you have to replace the entire fog lamp? Not the bulb?

That is correct and can be said for headlights, taillights , 3rd brake and license plate lights

I thought you could replace the lights on the license plate lights?
I also fail to see why you can't replace the headlights and taillights if you have the halogen versions?

They were talking about the LED versions.

Ohhhh.
Yeah RIP LED

Thankfully I found an oem set of fogs on eBay for $100 and a oe headlight LED housing for $200 also on ebay.

If my lights ever go ill just go aftermarket and get a differnet design. OEM prices for these kinds of things are dumb.

I’m not sure if you’ve looked for oem+ or aftermarket lights for a limited but I have and unfortunately found nothing. If you find something LMK.

Ahh that's pretty nice. I got the lights straight from Diode Dynamics but chose to get no harness since I wire my aux lights to my switch controller.

That's pretty neat, but I don't want the reverse lights to turn on every time I put the truck in reverse. I know, I'm complicated.

Well, you could still get the harness (or one like it) and wire it however you want. That's what I did, but slighly in reverse. I butchered the original harness (that's wired for a switch), and tied it to one of the @Shifts And Grins Fab plug-and-play harnesses so that it comes on in reverse automatically - all without cutting into factory wiring.

You can remove the wire for reverse, it goes into the 7 pin trailer hookup.

Maybe get can do something with this harness and spike into it going to your controller and into the trailer hitch?
I have used this one in the past you can snip the 5 pin off.

Yea those are for rebel. I read u have a limited correct? Our style of headlight housing does not have any aftermarket options. A lot of people in the “lower trim” trucks with halogen have aftermarket support.
