I would really like to change out my factory fog lights on my 97 Sport, I bought a set at The store a while back and ended up taking them back cause I could figure out how to mount them in the place of my stock ones.

Do they make a mounting kit to replace Dodges weird set up? Or what are my other options? Thanks

 

Yep Piaa makes brackets to mount similar sized lights in the factory hole, as a retrofit for trucks that came without,or to simply replace the crappy factory ones..

 

Part # PIAA 30190 is the number i THINK,not sure

 

Any idea what the cost(s) are for the PIAA's?? I bought a kit that was apparently an OEM type kit, but the lenses are beginning to melt from heat.

 

Just went to PIAA.COM. The part number listed is 30195 and mounts their 510 series lamps to the "Outboard location". Don't know exactly what they mean by that. The 510 series appear to be much larger than the OEM lamps, so how these mount, I haven't a clue.

30195 Dodge Ram 94-02 excluding Sport model Designed to mount 510 series lamps in the outboard location.

Now what the heck does that mean? Outboard location? I have the sport model truck with the factory lights. So are they saying they wont work in my truck or do they mean the newer sport with the all rubber front bumper?

Oh and the 510 series showed to be 3 an 15/16" inch, isnt that pretty close to the factory light size in the 97 Ram?

 

Went back to the site. It states the part number "30195" is for the 94-02 Ram EXCLUDING SPORT MODEL. Soooo...........I looked to see if they had one for the sport. Nope. No such animal. Now, does that mean it doesn't exist? Not necessarily, but I didn't see one there. My suggestion at this point would be to go to PIAA.COM and if you can't find it there, send them an email and see what they do have that will fit. Its also possible that they may have an entire set of lights that may fit. The part number above is apparently for a mounting only, not an entire light assembly.

 

the Sports,from 94-98 it DOES fit, but wont fir teh 99-01 truck that was a sport....

 

Outboard means the outermost holes in the bumper. The two round holes in your bumper are "outboard".
The PIAA lights mount up nicely, and work great.

 

I have a set of these,new inbox if anyone wants them
