Question:
On the newer rams everyone says the headlight housing has to be removed from the front to change the bulb. With the extra bar in center of the headlight will there be enough room to remove the housing to replace the bulb in the headlight assembly?

Expert Reply:
The Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate # 57-3550 (Polished Stainless Steel) or # 57-3555 (Black Powder Coated Steel) that fits Ram trucks such as a 2019 Ram 2500 or 3500 will not have enough enough room for you to remove the headlight housing. As you can see by the accompanying photo, this guard sits close to the headlight and wraps around it.
This would be true of all full-coverage grille guards though so another option to consider is a bull bar, such as the Westin E-Series Bull Bar with Skid Plate # 31-5550 (Polished Stainless Steel) or # 31-5555 (Black Powder Coated Steel) which does not cover the headlights and is a fit for a '19 Ram 2500.
I have added a link to a video install of this bull bar on a Ram for you to take a look at.
