Rough Country Light Bar with DRL install.

[mike12193]

I had a issue with my front grill (I think a rock
kicked up and cracked the grill). So I decided it would be a good time to install a Rough Country Light bar I had from my other truck. It is a 20” Rough Country with Amber LED’s. I have worked on a few Ram 4.5 and 5 gens that I needed to remove the grilland I will say this was the hardest one to remove the grill. The left front trim piece fought me the whole way. The right side that was damaged by the rock was easy because of the crack. I wired the main light to Aux 1 and the DRL to Aux 2.

Took some pics of the install:

Looks awesome - how long did it take you? did you just use plastic pry bars to remove the trim?

About 2 hours, for the trim pieces I did use a few plastic pry bars. I also used rivnuts for the bumper mounting and upgraded the hardware to stainless steel.

NICE WORK!!

N00b question: Yellow when "Offf", white when "ON"? Y/N?

Two separate power leads. White is DRL, Red is main light. Independently controlled via the aux switches

Got it...
Thanks!

*Thinking out loud here*

It might be kinda cool to have the red come on with the hood intake lights....
