Custom Headlights

[ORACLE]

Decided to build a custom set of lights while waiting for the TRX to arrive. Started with a gently used set of Ram Bi-LED projector headlights from eBay.

So far just going in and deleting any non-functional chrome to better match the TRX exterior color theme. While I am at it color-keying some accent pieces to match the Anvil paint for a more customized appearance.

Have plenty of time between now and February so going to play with a few more ideas with this setup before reassembling.

Next installing the RGBW+A ColorSHIFT DRL Kit from ORACLE Lighting. https://www.oraclelights.com/products/2019-2021-ram-1500-projector

Awesome progress! I was going to do the same and get an extra set of headlights for doing a RGB install. I seen on the FB group a couple companies talking about making a kit once their TRX shows up in January.

The corner light on the headlights is kind of a focal point on the headlight when you are walking up to the truck so playing around with maybe adding a decal here. Here is a mock-up of what I am thinking...

Thoughts on if this is too much? Looks better plain?

I am not in love with the window for the parking light in the corner but I didn't want to disable the factory parking lights so I masked this off. I may go back and paint over it and relocate the parking light LED.

If it were me I would make it more subtle like the "RAM" printed on the side of the headlight next to it and go with a similar silver on grey text, but its a good idea and location to set it apart from other ordinary 1500s

[TRXJouster]

no yours, you made it easy lol

 

[jpscottpe]

Will the DRLs stay white until you activate the Oracle lighting switch? And, how to you wire the LEDs to the controller?

So.....something interesting I noticed today in the parts system.

In 2020, the Ram Limited Black Edition introduced the premium headlights (sales code LM6) in black trim (sales code MFA). These headlights come with a MSRP of $1035 each (at the time of this post). I looked up a 2021 Ram Limited, same headlight part numbers. Model in 2020, model year out 2022.

The TRX shows a different part number for the headlights. Still shows the same sales codes LM6/MFA, but model in is 2021, model year out is 2022. Price is $1530 each.

My overanalyzing mind makes me wonder what is different. Digging into the grill removal overview - it looks like the headlights no longer have the "bracket kit", which the front fascia normally snaps into - and rests against. Again, overthinking, but I can't seem to locate the headlight service parts page for the TRX (just shows a couple bolts, not all the "extras" like other models).

Anyway, a few pics.....

I thought i remember an engineer on some video saying they were a headlight part unique to the TRX although similar to others they done in the past.

I remember watching a video, where they specifically stated ram trx headlights are "smaller or shorter" than the regular ram 1500. I'm gonna dig through my youtube..
