Lighting It Up
 
okay guys, i know this isnt motor related but...

does anybody reccomend a company to get high performance projector style headlights from. my lenses are so yellowed, i cant see crap with out my 6inch hellas on and i cant run them in town. So im looking to replace the whole thing with a led or HID projector series light setup, any reccomendations.

Check EBay I got mine off there and they have been fine (they are not projectors but just a clear lens) I think you can get them for $100-110 shipped I think the projectors are about $12-140? Last time I looked.. I also saw some weird looking lights now that just don’t look like they are for a ram but they are just something different I guess.. Good luck finding some..... You might want to try posting in the quote area or stylin concepts.....

thanks man, how much brighter are those then stock??

A lot!!!! But don’t make the mistake I did and put really blue bulbs in them though; you will see signs good but not the road.. And another thing to keep in mind if you are buying after market lights is that they leak I am warning you now if you get some seal the lens to the housing before you put them in or you will have moisture build up in the lights when it is cold, and after awhile they might turn yellow or green or black (what ever decides to grow from the moisture). You could spend more and go OEM ram sport head lights they are clear (not like your stock ones) and well you know OEM is good quality so just some things to think about be fore you buy your lights. You can also buy light that are 2 piece clear mine are 1 piece so the turn signal comes out with the head light so keep that in mind to, to replace the turn light you have to remove the hole assembly

I have the same lights off ebay and I put new GE Nighthawks 9004 bulbs, much, much better then stock. 3 bolts, takes about 20 minutes a side to replace.

If you really want some good bang for your buck ($29) get an upgraded harness. I bought one from LMC Truck and it gives you a full 12V at your headlights (unlike the stick harness):

If I were you, I would go with the 2 piece lights. Ive heard some people had trouble getting these aimed and adjusted right due to it being 1 piece.

They have the 2 piece ones on ebay as well:

cool, thanks man, im getting those right there, 86 bucks, hell you cant go wrong for that price!

slowtowpig 06-19-2008 05:38 PM

you cant go wrong with stock replacements. i put 12000k HIDs in mine and it was a big mistake, really brightif you looking at them but it just doesnt light up the roads

lower the number less blue they are, but better visability.

When you get them you need to get some pics up here. They look really nice!
What about changing the harness to allow 4 bulbs on that setup?

86.00 for the lights 41.00 for shipping.

can that be done??

Marine 06-22-2008 03:09 PM

It looks like the housing holds 4 bulbs, but I don't know. I can't see changing the housing and spending the money on them if they only allow 2 bulbs like the stock housing.

CumminsCrazed 07-06-2008 04:38 PM

its called a mirrored image Marine.....lol Your seeing the mirror reflection off the side of the headlight housing and its making you think it holds 2 bulbs per side, but it is only 1 per side.....LMAO!

Marine 07-06-2008 04:48 PM

If the new ones hold 2, but look like 4...that is pretty stupid.
If the new ones held 4 bulbs, that would be good.
Mirrored image....dumb.
True image....good.

dukeboy_318 07-06-2008 06:10 PM

Marine 07-06-2008 08:07 PM

Marine 07-06-2008 09:10 PM
