Wish ram wasn't so cheap and actually installed lights and a liner with all models

2022 2500.. there is another box in the way of the plugs and what a PITA. The G (blue connector) with pin 16 wasn't too difficult, but the F connector was a nightmare to get off/on.. Thank god for small hands. I also didn't need to use the fuse panel connection 17.. The lights work fine after tapping into G16 and F6 (which kind of tells me there is probably a plug in the back somewhere I didn't find and didn't need to do any of that, but now I have some new intel for future add-ons.

Can't get enough of that Borla Atak!!!! Great video Steve!

Truck bed lights will be very useful!! Great video as always :)

The Light Kit should have came with a Genie Software Flash Module. Mine did. Installed the lights, stuck the Genie in the mod port under the dash, followed the instructions, lights work just fine. Also installed the OEM Electric Trailer Brake switch. Same type install without a single issue.

Glad mine came with these lights installed. But I plan on finding a way to tie in to the pre ran lines for more lighting in the bed.

$150 for the lights and then $200 to flash the computer and make it work at the dealership so you're looking at almost $400 after tax that is like not worth it at all LOL

I’m here for the Atak 🤘🏻

Question . 2023 larimi is what i have.. shouldn’t it be pre wired behind the rubber cap in the bed? For 70k id figure when i remove my caps there should be a wire harness to plug into??

For the life of me I cannot understand why they were not included on my Rebel. With a sticker over $60k how the hell do you justify leaving that out? So disappointing. My previous Sierra had them and they really came in handy camping and tailgating. I don't want to tear up a brand new, expensive truck, to put them in. Dumb. Very dumb.

Chris Kline yeah it’s a bum deal but popping off the panels and routing wiring is a pain but it will be same as stock after the install only better

@hammerdownmotorsportsusa Great job on the video!! You have undoubtedly helped many other Ram owners taking on this install themselves! Question for ya.. I've been reading that pins 5 & 16 from under the dash both have pre existing wires that travel along the frame to the wiring harness connection (XY670A) shown at 3:42 - 3:47 in your video. Are you able to confirm if this is true? If so, I think I should be able to just add the two pinned wires from the Mopar Kit into the empty pin slots at the rear side of that XY670A harness near the rear driver's side tire rather than running that kit's wire the length of the truck and through the firewall. I'd just have to shorten and re-pin those two wires, or Coil it and zip tie it up and out of the way of any heat/pinch hazards.

Just did this install, my instructions pictures had the correct location for wires. Bed lights don't work but the switch on the light will turn off the upper cargo light, guess I'll be going to the dealer.

Do a KZread search there is a different location to pin the wires to so you don't need the reflash

Looks like you can see the white paint on the passenger side. Looks like the light doesn't cover the whole area that the previous cover did. Looks nice though.

Yeah , nothings simple nowadays. Luckily my Ram already had them in from factory. But not nearly enough light so I tided 2 stands of lights on each side up in the rails so you cant really see them plus if I didn't 't you'd get blinded at night they are so bright.
