Has anyone installed LED lights in the engine compartment?

I just ordered the KC LED lights so I guess I will find out if I can get to THAT little project.

I have so many projects in play right now, nothing is actually getting done.

I'm gonna get the KC lights as well and looking at the two center indentations on the black liner, I'm going to try using these ATV/UTV body push pins since I have them, and would be easier to remove if needed.

I hear ya, having the same problem, it is what it is.

I ordered just the lights, not the kit. Don't need all that harness, etc. as I'm going to wire directly to an aux switch. And I saved 20 bucks. Been looking for something to add the aux and here it is.

Well, bummer. I didn't see the lights available without the harness.

If you can return the kit here is the Amazon link on the lights. I looked for a deal but they just don't get discounted. KC must have an iron-clad agreement

Thanks, I guess I just didn't look well enough.

I don't know if those would hold and they're probably not long enough. The head also looks smaller than the center hole in the KC lights.

I used screw in push clips and added a washer the large head screw.

What did you do TO your RAM today?

50% added to the factory rears, 20% on front sides and 35% on windshield. I had planned on 50% for the windshield but they ran out after the rears so I opted for slightly darker and am loving it. What state are you in where you can tint the windshield?

Got the lights installed and the push pin I was gonna use would have worked, but needed the two holes dilled out bigger. I took one of the lights and went to Ace Hardware and looked through their auto body pins, and came up with some that fit the light and the holes in the hood. Anyway turns out to be a nice setup and pretty easy install!

Did this myself today too. I'm using aux 2, programmed off the battery. I am a little concerned that I may close the hood one night and forget to turn the lights off. I know I can fix that by changing it to an ignition source instead of battery, I'll give it some time and see what happens. It would be great if these trucks allowed conditional logic in the programming for the aux switches so you could do stuff like control the lights based on the status of the hood ajar switch. Maybe some day, huh?
