Lights and Lightbars

[yuppie]

Interested in getting a lightbar, I've seen some great lights that mount behind the grill of trucks. I think a thin bar would look great in these two spots:

I agree.. light bar behind the grill would look good and I will be adding ditch lights

If behind the grill, how do you clean it if they become dirty?

That lower grill will be a no go due to the cruise control distance sensor

For what it’s worth, Oracle makes a light bar for the TRX that fits below the mustache. Pic of my truck below.
The mustache is different on the RHO, so I’m sure it’s just a matter time before they modify the housing to fit the RHO.

I am thinking of doing this…

RAM OnX6+ 20 Inch Bumper Light Bar Kit - RAM 2021-24 1500 NOTE: TRX - Baja Designs - Off-Road LED & Laser Lights | Automotive, Jeep, Truck, UTV, ADV, Dirtbike

Our 2021 - On Dodge Ram TRX 1500 20" S8 Bumper Kit gives you high performance lighting, with a sleek look

My goal is for something like this (see below). Being the grille mounted BD LP6. There was a kit for the TRX by BrawlerFab, but they have disappeared. Anyone know of something similar?

Not a fan of lights being blocked by grill, but am curious if those locations would block any of the radiators/coolers on the RHO. If only there was someone around that could go outside and check.....hint hint <3

If you feel so inclined, is there anything behind the bumper that would interfere with a winch?

 

[matt35hr]

That lower light is directly where the cruise control distance sensor is on the rho, no light is going to work there

 

[matt35hr]

Unfortunately same is going to go for a hidden winch on these, unless they can mount it down in the skid plate,which would require new skid plate or modifying the factory one and repowdercoat

I would just be concerned about the big lights in the grill blocking airflow. Cooling is a bigger deal for these turbo engines. But they look sick in that location. Probably not of concern for daily driving though.

I think you’d be surprised how much the grill is blocked. At least on the TRX, which runs hotter and needs more air. Here’s a picture I lifted from the TRX forum. All that plastic behind the grill is from the factory.
Edit: the hole for the light was cut in (it’s a solid piece of plastic normally).

Exactly

Now looking for other options. I’m thinking this…

SDHQ Built Behind the Grille LED Light Bar Mount for the 2021-Current Ram 1500 TRX will allow you to mount up to four-10" Baja Designs X8 or OnX6 LED light bars

I’m going to put two 4” lights on either side of the cruise control sensor and two backup lights within the tow hooks.

How’d you mount those? Did you have to move the washer fluid reservoir?

That’s not my truck. I just copied it from the TRX forum.
If I remember correctly, Brawlerfab makes a behind the grill mount for those lights.

Yea. I logged in on that forum (with an RHO username to ensure I got crap) to message Booster who ran BrawlerFab and no one got back to me.

If the tow hooks are the same as the TRX, go with the diode dynamics ones (with the Shifts and Grins brackets).

I have them on order! I don’t think I’ll hook them up to be on unless I switch them on when I’m reversing.

Yours looks sweet!

Is that a specific mount? Or did someone just custom do that? Looks really good
