Hello everyone. I am new to this site but not my truck. I've owned it for over a year now and purchased it brand new. I've added the bull bar in the front of it, side steps, low pro tool box and a custom kicker bass speaker from the dealer to go under the seat. I'm planning to install aftermarket headlights tomorrow. Just want some feed back for my ram. Next plans are taillights, and a spray in liner. Excuse the language on one of the pictures. Something about a clean bluestreak that gets me worked up lol.

You may have to buy a harness for those headlights. It says for oem projector trucks only, and they have different headlight harnesses. Someone else may know more on that though

A quick Google and I think you're right. Thank you for the comment as it probably saved me alot of time and a huge headache. I'll call the dealer when they open and see if they have any, hopefully in stock. To be honest your comment kind of broke my heart as I've been wanting to change these forever lol. Better to know now than halfway through the housing change.

Tail lights you should be ok. They are usually plug and play.
Also you won't have to change the whole headlight harness. You'll just need to buy the adapters listed above

Love the color. But man, those headlights don't look good at all IMO.

I have a set just like these from Spyder and they were completely plug and play. You will be just fine. Other than that, I too love that blue streak color! :D

The headlights and taillights are both spyder. Took a whole 20 mins to install the tails. Only because I didn't know the hookup was behind the oem bulb lol. They look great though!

OK so I got the headlights installed with retro shop adapters. For some reason the right side isn't working properly. The turn signal and the brights won't work at all. I noticed 1 of the resistors gets warm like it's supposed to and the other one stays ice cold. Can anyone trouble shoot this?
