Best LED Light Bars for 2019–2026 Ram 1500: 7 Kits for Grille, Bumper, Fog, Ditch and Roof

For a 2019–2024 Ram 1500 that isn't a Rebel, Rough Country's 20 in hidden bumper kit hides a 120 watt bar behind a stock-looking front end. The Amazon title names part 70781 for the 19-24 Ram 1500 with an amber DRL. Tasca Parts' page for 70781 lists 120 watts of forward-facing light in an 8 degree spot and 90 degree flood combo pattern, an IP67 waterproof die-cast aluminum housing and a premium wiring harness with an in-line fuse, and says the bar sits hidden behind the mesh grille on the factory front bumper. Tasca lists it at $239.95 with a warranty of at least 12 months. At 120 watts the bar draws roughly 8.7 amps at 13.8 volts, an easy load for one fused relay circuit.

Read the fit notes before ordering. Tasca says the kit does not fit Rebel models and does not fit EcoDiesel models, and its fit table runs 2019–2023 even though the product name says 19-24, so owners of a 2024 should confirm with the seller. The 2025 truck has a new grille, and this listing does not name it. Two details we could not settle: Tasca calls the bar a chrome dual-row unit while the Amazon title says Black Series, and Tasca's page does not list brackets or a switch, so check the finish and the box contents on the listing. The page gives no lumen figure. Like every bar here, it is an off-road light on public roads.

The Rebel and TRX get their own fog pocket kits from Baja Designs, and the S2 Sport dual fog pocket kit is the one with a year-titled Amazon listing. Baja lists SKU 448024 at $643.95 for the 2019–2024 Ram 1500 Rebel and the 2021–2024 TRX. The kit puts S2 Sport pods in the factory fog pockets with mounting hardware and a wiring harness, and Baja says the plug-and-play system needs no difficult wiring, trimming, cutting or splicing. Each pod is listed at 1,581 lumens, 12.42 watts and 0.9 amps, measures about 2.9 by 1.8 by 1.7 in, and has a hardcoated polycarbonate lens. Baja rates the pods IP69K, which it defines as pressure washable and waterproof to 9 ft, and IK10 for impact, and backs them with a limited lifetime warranty and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.

Three cautions. Baja's fit list ends at 2024, while the Amazon title reads Rebel 2019+ and TRX 2021+, so owners of a 2025 or 2026 Rebel should ask Baja before ordering. The list also carries a plain Ram 1500 2021–2022 line with no trim named, which we could not interpret, so owners of other trims should ask too. And the beam needs a check: the Amazon title says Driving/Combo, while Baja's 448024 page shows a Wide Cornering pattern with a clear lens. Confirm the pattern and the pod count on the listing. Baja's page does not call the S2 Sport an SAE fog lamp, so treat it as off-road lighting. Its Dual S2 SAE kit is the one to ask Baja about for road use.

If you want trail-edge light on any trim, this is the brand-name kit with the longest year range we found. Rough Country's dual 2 in LED ditch light kit with amber DRL is titled for the 2019–2025 Ram 1500, and the title lists 40 watt spot beams and 3,600 lumens with a waterproof build. Ditch lights sit on brackets at the rear corners of the hood, near the base of the windshield pillars, and point slightly outward. From there they light the edges of a trail and the inside of a turn, which a forward-facing grille or bumper bar cannot reach. That makes a ditch kit a sensible first upgrade on a truck whose front end no grille kit names, including the 2025 model.

The weak point is data. We did not open a Rough Country page for this kit, so the listing title is our only source. It does not say whether 40 watts and 3,600 lumens are per pod or for the pair, and we could not read a sealing rating, the harness contents or a warranty term, so check those on the listing before you buy. If 40 watts is the total, the pair draws about 2.9 amps at 13.8 volts; wire it through a relay and fuse either way. Rough Country also lists a Black Series spot version and a 3.5 in pod version, both titled 2019–2024. The title here stops at 2025, so owners of a 2026 should ask the seller. Keep the pods off on public roads where your state requires it.

For the most light down a trail, nothing beats a long bar on the roof, and ZROADZ's front roof kit is the one titled for this truck. The Amazon listing describes a complete kit for the 2019–2022 Dodge Ram 1500 with mounting brackets, a 50 in curved LED light bar and a wiring harness. Lift Kits 4 Less lists ZROADZ part Z334721-KIT-C for the 2019-to-present Ram 1500 as a roof-mounted 288 watt curved dual-row combo beam bar at $908.63. It describes the brackets as precision laser-cut steel, powder-coated black, with a through-bolt design that needs no cutting or welding but does require drilling the roof, and says a single hole per bracket routes all the wiring.

Check three things before you order. First, the part number: the Amazon title prints Z334571-KIT-C, while the retailer page we read is for Z334721-KIT-C, so ask the seller which part ships and confirm it is the kit for the 2019-and-later DT, not one for the Classic. Second, the contents: the retailer page carries a line saying lights are not included even though the kit name includes the bar, so confirm the bar and harness are in the box. Third, the load: 288 watts is about 21 amps at 13.8 volts, which needs its own relay and heavy wire. A roof bar also throws light back off the hood, adds wind noise, and sits well above the 16 to 42 in driving-light heights KC HiLiTES cites. We could not read lumens, a sealing rating or a warranty for the bar.

If you want light in the grille for the least money, Rough Country's dual 6 in Black Series kit is the documented budget pick. The Amazon title names part 70783 for the 19-24 Ram 1500. Battle Born Offroad's page for the same part lists two 6 in bars with six 3 watt Cree LEDs each, 2,880 lumens and 36 watts in total, a 90 degree flood beam, die-cast aluminum housings and an IP67 waterproof rating. The kit includes black powder-coated brackets and a flat-wound wiring harness with an on/off switch, and the page says the lights fit into the two slots in the factory grille. Battle Born lists it at $104.95 with a 3-year warranty and a lifetime replacement guarantee, so ask the seller which terms apply to you.

Know what you are buying. A 36 watt flood is a near-field light for job sites, camp and slow trails, not a long-range bar, and it draws only about 2.6 amps at 13.8 volts. The retailer page lists the 2019–2024 Ram 1500 in 2WD and 4WD with no trim exclusions, but we could not confirm that every trim's grille has those two slots, so check yours before ordering, most of all on a Rebel or TRX. The title stops at 2024, and Stellantis describes a new, larger grille for 2025, so this is not a kit to buy for a 2025 or 2026 truck without the seller's answer. It is off-road lighting on public roads.

For the most output from the A-pillar position, Baja Designs' XL80 kit is the premium choice, with the caveat that Baja lists it only for the Rebel and TRX. Baja's page gives SKU 447772 at $1,176.95 for the 2019–2024 Ram 1500 Rebel and the 2021–2024 TRX. Each XL80 light is listed at 9,022 lumens, 75.9 watts and 5.5 amps, with a high beam and a 20 percent dimming feature, in a hard-anodized and powder-coated cast aluminum housing rated IP69K. The mounting hardware is stainless steel. Baja backs the kit with a limited lifetime warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee. One XL80 makes more than three times the lumens of the whole Rough Country grille kit, so a pair at the A-pillars is serious trail lighting.

Plan for the extras and check the details. Baja's specification table says no wiring harness is included, so budget for a relay harness with a fuse and a switch sized for 5.5 amps per light. The Amazon title reads Rebel 2019-22 and TRX 2021-23 with a Driving/Combo pattern, while Baja's page lists 2019–2024 and 2021–2024 and shows a spot pattern for SKU 447772, so confirm the years and the beam on the listing. Baja's description doesn't spell out the mounting method, so read the install sheet before ordering. Lights this bright at eye level reflect off the hood, so aim them out and down, and keep them off on public roads. Owners of other trims should look at Rigid's and Diode Dynamics' A-pillar and ditch listings, which name the Ram 1500 without a trim.

For a 2025 or 2026 truck, NIXON OFFROAD's hood mount brackets are the lowest-cost way to get ditch-light mounts whose title names your model year. The Amazon listing describes a pair of black steel brackets for the 2019–2026 Dodge Ram 1500 that mount at the front A-pillar and engine hood for ditch light pods. Because pods are universal, a pair from a previous truck, or any brand-name pods you prefer, can go on these brackets. That keeps the total cost low and lets you choose the beam and the sealing rating yourself. It also leaves the 2025 grille and bumper alone, which matters while no grille or bumper kit we found names the new front end.

The trade-off is verification. We did not read a maker page for these brackets, so the title is our only source. Steel thickness, finish quality, the pod sizes the brackets accept, whether they bolt to existing points and any warranty are unknown, so ask the seller before ordering. Check the bolts after the first rough road, because thin brackets let pods shake and throw the beam around. Budget for a harness with a relay, a fuse and a switch. If you want a known brand on the bracket, Rigid's A-pillar mount is titled 2019+ for the Ram 1500 and Diode Dynamics' bracket-only ditch kit is titled 2019–2024. Like every ditch light, pods on these brackets are off-road lights in most states, so keep them off on public roads.
