Has anyone installed any aftermarket fog lights behind the grille? I was looking at a pair of Hella Rallye 1000 black magic lights. They are really thin, so I thought they would be the best bet for fitting them behind the grille.

Let me know if anyone has any input or if you have any ideas.

Thanks!

 

i know a guy that has a 03 ram that has his aftermarket fog lights behind his grille.. they look sharp too

 

i installed 2 5'' lights behind my grill... i wasnt impressed, i never turn them on, and will take them off when i get my replacement bumpers..

they do look sharp if you have a matching grill...but mine do nothing as far as extra lighting
*i only bought a 55 dollar pep boy brand, but they have the yellow/blue tint, so theylook expessive..haha*

 

Any pictures? I'm concerned that they won't be functional, and if that is the case, then I won't drop a couple hundred on a good pair.

 

man, ive been trying to get them off my blackberry with no luck.. im working in mexico right now, and the cell service here sucks.. so im having a real hard time transferring them.. i'll work on it when i get to go back home in a few days if your still interested..

I did it mainly for looks, i get stares with it, because not to many people around here have 5'' lights mounted behind a grill, it does look pretty neat... but the light ratio sucks.. i really cant tell that i have them on at night, except for a faint blue tint that appears in the factory headlight tint.

i also have wiaas *wannabee piaas*, maybe if i opted to spend the hundreds of dollars i would be more impressed. so maybe somebody else can chime in on it..

IMO, i would just get HID in lowbeam/fogs and it would be more than enough light that you would want to achieve.

thats what im about to order, and once i get my replacement toughcountry bumper, im going to rip out the behind grill lights..

Cliff Notes-
-their just for looks, not feasible for anything else *i think the grill takes away from the light- just my .02 cents

 

I put a nice set of 4" Hella lights behind my grill on my 04 Ram. I enjoyed them on the back roads late at night they made a huge difference. I was looking and it would be a lot more difficult to put them behind the grill on the 09 Ram. May just get me a Bull Bar or something similar and mount a set on it eventually. Need to keep in mind most of those are off road lights and you can get a ticket for using them while out on the street.

 

i can wait for the pics, I am in no rush, but this is something that I think looks bad *** on trucks I've seen... my reservation is b/c the webbing in the grill is so tight that I don't want to waste the time and money if you can't really see em.

 

make sure to check the laws in your state. here in PA its illegal. my cousin found out the hardway with a ticket for them.

 

I threw a couple of Pilot (cheapo) rectangular lights in. Bright but unfocused beam, made worse by the slats in the grille. They were cheap though from Amazon and came with the relay. I put a nice switch in that lights up green (only a line) in the center console. Looks factory.

Now I have to change all the bulbs out to match the white light...

 

I think it looks pretty menacing. Do you know which lights you bought? I'm mainly looking for the specs on how deep they are so that I have a baseline on what will fit and what will not.

Thanks again for the pic!
