I don’t understand why so many people want ambient lighting, let alone be able to change the colour. I have it on my 18 and whenever I am driving throughout the night, I turn it off, my nav screen off, place a hat on the steering column to cover the lights from the gauges and I am looking for a good way to cover all the radio light up buttons. YES, I know how to dim everything to it’s lowest setting. All the lights in these trucks hurt my eyes while driving 10hrs straight through the night. I’m also driving terrible roads in terrible winter conditions. If I am doing normal night time driving for personal use, I leave all the lights on and the ambient lighting stays to the ice blue setting. If my truck didn’t come with ambient lighting, I wouldn’t spend $10 to add it. I just recently made the switch from Ram 2500 to Ford 3500 and all I see on this forum is guys adding raptor lights to the grill, lick and stick roof lights, lights for the running boards and light bars. (I added light bars to the front grill to fill the gaps between those bars to close that terrible gap) I must admit, the light bars have been helpful when my headlights get completely covered in mud from passing logging trucks but other than that, I don’t get the infatuation with lights. Lights every where. Sorry for the rant, obviously you guys like the lights. I just couldn’t stop typing.

I use the lightbars only when driving down logging or ice roads when I need extra light on the shoulders of the roads. The roads are soft up here in the northern Canadian oil fields so you can’t just pull over to the side or you will get sucked in and sink the truck. I don’t use the lightbars driving on the highway. The gaps in between the bars on the grille annoy me because I hit numerous birds a year and those gaps are the perfect size to allow a bird to go into my rad, not to mention rocks and debris being thrown by logging trucks. I’d rather break a $40 light bar than damage the rad. The grille still allows a lot of air flow so the light bars have absolutely no negative effect for cooling. The attached picture, the closest car wash is 140km away and the truck is just as dirty from the drive back. Drives me nuts having a filthy vehicle for months on end but can’t really do much in the winter here. The interior lights lighting up the interior of the cab at night aren’t bad for a few hours of driving but try driving 10hrs in pitch black conditions with all those lights shining at you. It will hurt your eyes.

Absolutely agree with you about towing heavy in hot weather. We get to about 30 degrees Celsius in my area and it does take a toll when I pull my 14,000lb trailer. If I lived in a hotter climate, no way would I block those gaps. I would install an after market grille to allow maximum airflow and protection from the damn birds. I hit about 40 birds a year. I guess that’s what I get when I seasonal camp nead a bird sanctuary. Lol I get a lot of dirty looks pulling into the park with dead birds stuck in the grille.

I didn’t see your question. I just bought these cheap ones from amazon. I think they were around $70. I see that they are not available anymore which sucks because they were the perfect size. 1/8” bigger and they would not fit. These lights dont make it brighter further, they extend the viewing angle. I think if you missed a deer with the headlights, you’d be by the deer before you saw it in the field of view of these lights. I live in deer alley in southern Saskatchewan and the LED brights work great. The roads I drive for work I have to be on the lookout for deer, caribou, moose, bears (lots of black bear and a few grizzly) and damn wild buffalo.

No not at all - I think the same thing driving at night - it really adds something to the interior.
It’s a shame they dropped it or stripped it down as I think it’s one of those small things that makes a big difference.
I’ve been toying with doing the rear console too - the kids get such a kick out of it especially when I change the color.
