How To Install Cab Lights On Your Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500

In this video I install some nice cab lights on my dodge ram 2500 cummins 6speed 2wd. This truck did not come with cab lights so this is a full install.

Thanks for the support mopar fam 🙏 this was a fun little project but definitely worth all the time im loving the new cab lights feels like a real truck now lol🤣

[@biglouie75]

Great video 👍 Just finished my cap light on my 08 1500 ram truck. Prefect 👍 Thank you

[@pieterverheul1648]

My 04 already had cab lights wired from factory, passenger pillar, made it easy, no joining into switch

[@boomer1049]

Was it SLT or Larime ?

[@chandlerturney3025]

So did my 08

[@redy2kl]

Those are waayyyy too far back lol!

[@josephlahood4647]

Ordering a Ram 1500 Classic Express. May I just say on silicones if they smell like vinegar don't use that type that's acid and it will corrode the raw steel you exposed by drilling

[@centenariojeepoffroad8103]

👍🏼 I will have my install this week good idea 8/15/22

[@willratthe7844]

Good vid man got my cab lights here now I’m gonna tackle them tomorrow

[@FrostbiteRam]

💪🔧

[@insomniatube7255]

I just got my kit bout to install it wish me luck 🙌🏽

[@FrostbiteRam]

Awesome man

[@michaelchristopher9444]

I bought the same kit. Lights looked great but the gaskets on mine did not hold up to the sun's UV. Gasket deteriorated in a matter of months and caused leaking. Such a pain in the ass. I ended up just forking out the $170 bucks for the oem mopar kit. Gaskets on this kit are way better quality and so far so good.

[@FrostbiteRam]

Good to know I however added silicone around the holes for added protection.

[@DarrensTruckzs]

Nice job well done looks FaCtoRy 👍

[@FrostbiteRam]

Thanks bro

[@evantayntor3788]

Did the kit come with the fuse? And all connectors you needed? Also did it come with enough wire to reach all the way over or did you have to buy any additional stuff

[@clintgarner6555]

It looks like the in-line fuse is going to end up inaccessible after everything goes back together. I'd be inclined to run it somewhere I can get at it if I need to. Maybe a spare position in the fuse box rather than an in-line.

[@natem7841]

Good video but exactly how do u connect them to the switch

[@woodcutter7347]

Looks clean...

[@FrostbiteRam]

Thanks

[@TigerRagFishingTeam]

Curious if you saw any factory sound deadening on the sheet metal on the roof? I'm debating lowering my headliner to apply a dynamat type material to help with sound control. Any observation is appreciated. If they did this from the factory, I'll just leave well enough alone. BTW, high 5 lights you did in this project look good! Already have them in my 3500 but might be worth swapping to the LEDs.

[@FrostbiteRam]

Pretty sure nothing there

[@TigerRagFishingTeam]

@@FrostbiteRam great, appreciate the info! Looks like I'll be doing the project!

[@pedroadelarosa5389]

Good but you not have to run the power to the switch , pasenger side have conector by the hendle that You remuve if you see and to many cable run. After tha perfect.

[@jonathanbell7948]

QUESTION! Now if I dapped into that power switch. Will the cab lights turn on when I unlock the truck just like the marker lights do

[@FrostbiteRam]

They can just depends on how you wire them in.

[@solomonlord5050]

Is that a resistor on the power wire? If so what size? I got a nice kit that came with a template but there is no resistor on the power wire if that is indeed a resistor

[@FrostbiteRam]

No I don't remember it having a resistor.

[@stevebeck9470]

It is his inline fuse

[@mikebush1757]

Where did you hook the ground wire at. Im puting the same kit in my 2007 2500

[@FrostbiteRam]

I used a self tapping screw and mounted it to the dash bracing behind the side panel on driver side.

[@biglouie75]

Where ??

[@danquer55]

went to tap into my headlight switch and I did not find any brown and orange wires found mostly purple and white wires however there is one orange and white wire. any idea on what to tap into. im sure its the same wire just different colors.

[@FrostbiteRam]

Need a test light or ohm meter to know for sure find one with 12v with key on only

[@JDM297]

No ! dont use silicone, bad idea, Use Butyl tape. those are cheap aftermarket lights and they will leak. Genos sells proper good lights

[@user-fx3ht7jq3w]

Receding cab line😮....

[@juliosandoval8244]

Yea thats a good way to do it cause those type of lights don't come with a brain to direct plug in.

[@jpmannon05]

I want to do this to my truck how’s it holding up? I just don’t want mine to leak

[@FrostbiteRam]

Working great but I traded for a newer truck now

[@catarinodavila8944]

Where did you get your ground from?

[@FrostbiteRam]

Behind the dash cover on the drivers side just ran a self tapper to the metal dash brace.

[@EchoAccord]

I thought about doing this to my jeep

[@poolsharkkkkk]

How have those cab lights worked for you with rain? i want the same ones for my 2nd gen but not sure

[@FrostbiteRam]

Been awesome no problems yet

[@poolsharkkkkk]

@@FrostbiteRam what areas do you recommend to put silicone on so they last?

[@FrostbiteRam]

@@poolsharkkkkk around the mounting holes

Where did u get the dementions from

Myself lol I just put them where I wanted them.

[@HSoW1945]

I have a 2018 ram 1500, night package, im looking for some smoked cab lights that are good quality and are compatible. anyone?

[@FrostbiteRam]

The oem mopar kits are pretty nice im going to use one on my new 2500 ill have a video up soon on it👍

[@mikemcreynolds6236]

My 2007 was already wired

[@dylanbry91]

How long did this take you?

[@FrostbiteRam]

About half a day roughly kept getting side tracked lol

[@louindorato6855]

Does it come with a template ?

[@FrostbiteRam]

It does not all up to yourself.

[@2smooth280]

If you take the headliner off the holes at already there

[@biglouie75]

Where did the ground wire go to?

[@FrostbiteRam]

I grounded to metal on side of dash behind panel

[@Barronenterprise]

Does it leak water

[@FrostbiteRam]

No haven't had any issues

[@crismartinez4286]

would these fit on my second gen?

[@FrostbiteRam]

They are universal yes

[@crismartinez4286]

@@FrostbiteRam awesome just ordered them thanks !

[@markmanning6773]

Nice job but no relay?

[@FrostbiteRam]

Why a relay its wired into the factory wiring so it has a fuse and all.

[@markmanning6773]

@@FrostbiteRam huh? You tapped into a circuit designed to supply the headlights and running lights. You don’t ever add more lights to a circuit like that without at least knowing how many amps that circuit can handle and what load you will be adding to it. That’s how fires are started. The correct way to do it would be to tap into the headlight circuit like you did but just to trigger a relay circuit for your new lights because a trigger wire does not draw hardly any current at all. Fortunately those led cab marker lights probably do not draw very much current but you should look into it.

[@FrostbiteRam]

@@markmanning6773 it has a factory fuse worse case it will pop the fuse thats it. I've had no issues at all the light are led they hardly use any power.

[@markmanning6773]

@@FrostbiteRam unfortunately that is not the worse case. It is the ideal case but all is good.

Why would you do some bullshit wiring like this when dodge literally has the cab light harness for you to to hook up to behind the passenger side a pillar?
