Try it with a bit of dust on the windshield. I suspect glare is going to be an issue.

That's a good point. Otherwise I like it.

Default New Items!!

I added two things. Once is a bar that is a turn signal signal and ground light for when you exit. And another is just a cool feature

Agree with HeyYou, I've seen people mounting them further back on the roof so it basically doesn't light up the hood. I did a quick youtube search, this looks like a good example... I just fast forwarded to the end effect in the third video, looks pretty good. Thinking build yourself a headache rack with a top platform that cantilevers over the bed and cab - good place to put your huge spare tire. I'm not a fan of the bars down the bed sides myself, but others probably find it useful.

series starting video, look at where he is positioning the bar..

Pictures: first one is high beams with bar, second one is just the high beams...

Is the Ram's head on the door sill plate something you added as well?

Love the puddle lights. That's trick.
