    Found a foglight bumper and swapped it over!

    i bought my 2014 ram without foglights. Its a tradesman model. A buddy of mine upgraded to a color matched front bumper and hooked it up with a chrome bumper with foglights. I have it fully installed now and the foglights will be here in a few days. I also added a lightbar. The problem is is that his ram had front sensors and mine doesn't. Does anyone know the part numbers for the 6 front sensors or a website with dummy sensors i can get to fill the holes?

    Don't know anything about the parts, but you could polish up some stainless carriage bolts. Might look pretty good. You'll need several different sized washers or make up a bent bar for the backside to bolt them in.

    I make bumper bolts for my old cars by polishing the stainless. Home depot has a polishing wheel for a drill, but you need a compound of some kind. I'm spoiled with a real polisher.

    By the way, they get $15.00 a piece for the same bolt if I buy them. I pay 4 bucks for 4- 1/2" with nuts and washers.

    If ya don't need the sensors, forget it. My wife truck was smaked in the back end and her sensor was $750 to replace ONE.
    Check the auto parts store for after market chrome bolts or chrome capped bolts, like at AutoZone, it will be cheaper.

    That sounds like what i'm going to do. Those sensors are ridiculous with pricing. Thanks!

    Re: Found a foglight bumper and swapped it over!

    Well i got something to fill the holes for right now. They are 1 1/8 chrome plugs. I bought them at lowes for $1.38 a piece. Home depot had them for $2.70 a piece. They are called chrome but they are zinc plated so the color is a little off. I need to find ones that are actually chrome or stainless steel and not zinc. They say chrome but they are zinc plated Here is the link to the item if anyone ever needs it down the road https://www.lowes.com/pd/The-Hillman...e-Plug/3013222. I'm going to fill the license plate caps holes as well.

    Looks much better than $700 a sensor!
