The Rough Country Dual 6-Inch Chrome Series LED Grille Kit is the auxiliary lighting for your RAM truck combining subtle styling and effective off-road illumination. The secret is how these lights mount flush against your grille on either side of the RAM logo for a subtle factory-installed look. This allows you to maintain a clean-looking front-end.
Don’t underestimate the lights that come with this LED grille kit; they offer enough intense lighting for even the darkest off-road nighttime drives. Each of the two 6-Inch LED lights utilizes six 3-Watt Cree LED bulbs with a total output of 2,880 lumens. Combined with a 90-degree flood beam pattern, these auxiliary lights ensure any off-road hazards you may encounter are immediately visible.
This Rough Country LED Grille Kit’s two 6-inch LED lights feature a housing crafted from high-grade die-cast aluminum alloy for strength minus the weight. The assemblies both feature exclusive moisture breather technology reducing moisture build-up behind the lens. Meanwhile, these lights’ lenses are made from ultra-clear, shatter-proof plastic. The lenses are then sealed with the housing for an IP67 waterproof rating. Lastly, these lights feature a black finish for low-key good looks.
Minor cutting of a piece of our truck’s grille is necessary to properly mount this LED grille kit with the included mounting hardware. Additionally, this kit comes with high-quality flat-wound switched wiring harnesses, making your wiring task much more efficient. amtrucks.at/2I...

Definitely the best video for seeing how these guys go together. Seriously thank you guys for making this. I just installed this kit yesterday and will say , I kinda freaked when I heard 5-6 hour time frame. But took it as a challenge to beat..lol Was able to get it done in just under 4 hours. But I was also taking my time with everything as this was my first time dealing with this kit. Everything turned out great, only thing I recommend is not having your light cables cross where the grill seals to the radiator support for directing the air to the radiator. I brought my cables up from the bottom where it seems to be completely out of the way. As opposed to having them go to one side. Good light output for the size lit up plenty for the size. But yes could define a bit brighter for all the work they require to put in. 😉

@peteraglietti2871 Жыл бұрын

Very good and informative video. However, after separating the grill from the shell, you can also separate the outer grill from the inner grill. Then you won’t have to tape the outer grill to protect it when cutting. I used a Dremel tool with 1 1/2” cutting wheel which worked well. No chattering from the reciprocating action or a jig saw. I have a Laramie which has fender flares that had to be removed in order to get the covers above headlight off. Had to remove inner fender wells so I could depress flare clips while pulling them off. There are posts on 5th gen Ram site stating that you can just pull on flare and pop them off but I didn’t want to chance breaking any of the clips. The worst part of the job was removing flares and the covers above headlight. The front fastener just didn’t want to release without a little help from a trim removal tool.

I just installed them today 12/30/2020 on my 2019 Ram 1500 limited. Only modifications I had to do was cut the black outer trim brackets with a grinder. They look awesome and everything else the same. I cut the grill as they do in this video however I left about 1 inch of black grill on both sides of the light so I had something to mount the brackets against on backside of grill. I used the black long bolts supplied with washer and lock washer instead of the silver bolts you see on front of bracket (not long enough).
