Default 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.....

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:
