The Diode Dynamics SS6 LED Lightbar Kit gives 2013-2018 Ram Sport/Express trucks a clean, high-output lighting upgrade using the factory bumper openings. The application-specific brackets are designed for the Sport/Express bumper and install using existing mounting points, with no cutting or drilling required.
This kit is built for Ram owners who want more usable light output, modern TIR optics, amber backlight styling, and a factory-style installation instead of a universal light bar setup.
