Size of Opening on Grill?

[ramguy55]

I ordered a 2021 Ram Bighorn that’s supposed to arrive within the next couple weeks and I’m thinking about installing strobe lights. Does anyone know the size of the grille openings?Obviously there will need to be some modifications, but the light im looking at is 9.5 inches long. Thanks

Can't help on the BH grille, but for reference, the Limited is 2-3/4x8.5 at the smallest dim (upper/lower slots). The center part of the opening is closer to 9".

I don't see those fitting in the opening and the space behind between the grille and active shutters doesn't appear to be more than 1" but I'd have to measure again.

Hopefully someone with a bighorn can give a better measure and also check the depth.

Check out Star Lighting. https://www.star1889.com/emergency-...d-lights/dlite-and-dlits-microstar-led-lights

These are very high quality, very bright, and very small LED lights.

If you have the 6.7 there is not a lot of room between the back of the grille and the shutters - those Feniex may not fit. Attached are some photos of two of the lights referenced in the link above set behind a Laramie grill. I decided to place two of these lights below and beside the RAM on the grille, instead of in the pocket that you referenced in your original post. I wanted greater concealment than greater visibility. These lights fall right in the rear view mirror of most cars - they're effective.

Removing the grill is a lot of fun. The ram builder site has instructions - when you get to the point where you need to loosen the bolts to slide the lower front fascia off, ignore the instructions to remove the lower black valance. Connect a few feet worth of socket extensions and you can reach up from the bottom and save yourself some frustration.
