Glad everyone is ok, even the stupid one, and sounds like the damage is minimal.

Im just about to pull the trigger on similar lights...


Ive been looking at these:

and these:

I would suggest going with the two piece lights. Ive heard that sometimes the single lights dont fit well and may not adjust easy.

Also, take a look at upgrading your harness. I just ordered a HD harness w relays to increase the voltage to the bulbs:

Plus, I got a couple of Amber bulbs from these guys for $1.95 each. (they are here, if you are interested):

any good places for bumpers, junkyard wants $280 for a bumper, theres got to be a better price on them, even if any of you guys got a used one that you want to get rid of, also aftermarket bumpers, is there any good looking ones that arnt huge like ranch hands, i dont like that style with the big thing covering the grill, there was one i liked made by john west i saw it on dodgeram.org a while ago and cant find it now, but who else makes some nice aftermarket bumpers

some times you can find guys parting out dodge rams on ebay.
maybe you can find one in your area?

if it helps any i know a nice junkyard in lower mass that usually has dodge rams there. i don't think they aould charge any more then $100-$150 for a bumper. but i don't think they ship.. but you could probably get all you need right there.
i gotta do down probably next month my drivers door is gittin rusty on the bottom. they told me $150 on the phone for a complete door

the guy that hit me was at fault. so his insurance is paying for a new rear bumper it's being put on next week. almost $400 for a new one
