I have a 2007 dodge ram 1500 and iv seen a few guys put some lights behind the grill. Can someone post some pics of mounting? Also does it affect any radiator or Ac condenser air flow? I picked up 4 of these LEDs and only want 2 behind the grill havent found a place for the other 2. Heres a link to them. I got them locally for a better price though.

any feedback on em?

 

Here are mine, mounted on the cross-bar under the radiator.





No serious (if any) affect on cooling. The volume of air passing through the radiator and condenser is probably not disrupted in the slightest.

 

Looks good. Do you see the bolt right beside each light? Is it possible to use that bolt to mount bracket so I wouldnt have to drill holes?

 

I measured off the ends of the cross-bar, making sure I also measured from the center-line to confirm the spacing. I drilled new holes, routing the wire from the switch and relay to the lights.

Here's the switch, mounted in the O/H console.

 

Do I have to put a relay or can I just run em to a switch and the battery?

 

Depends on your attitude toward vehicle fires. I fused the low-current side of the relay (from the switch) with a 3A fuse. The high-current side of the relay has a 45A (I think - it's been a few years) fuse inline with the battery.

 

MikeHTally that is a bada$$ setup. Any interference opening and closing the hood?

 

No, the lights are well back from the grill.

 

Very good I think you have just solved my wanting extra lights without sacrificing my hatred of bull bars. Are those the k.c slimlites?

 

I had two of the full size kc 130w lights mounted in the same place, doesnt affect the hood, cooling or anything. I didnt even have to move em when I replaced the radiator. I have two 100w fog light mounted on the upper crossmember as well. They didnt change the engine temps at all in any situation and that was with 4 lights in front of the radiator.
