**** PRICE DROP: $700 SHIPPED. SHIPPING WILL BE INSURED FOR THE FULL $700 VALUE. ****


I know I JUST bought these lights about 2 weeks ago (on 12/19/16) for $1,010 and I've only had them on my truck since 12/23/16. With the included bulbs, these lights are worth about $1,200!! I'm selling these because I'm going a different route with my front end. I LOVE the way these look, but like I said, I decided to go a different route so now I need to sell these. My loss is your gain. Now, onto some info about these lights:

Check out these lights IN ACTION on the Retro Shop YouTube Page: https://youtu.be/Eydqm-mAuNA

▪ Authentic OEM/Mopar Black Housing Quad Headlights (no cheap replicas here) - $325
▪ Diode Dynamics Ram Large "Fitted" Switchback LED Halos - $250
▪ Diode Dynamics 3157 Switchback LED Turn Signal Bulbs - $70
▪ Opt-7 H11 FluxBeam-X LED Low Beam Bulbs - $110
▪ Phillips CrystalVision 9005 High Beam Bulbs - $60
▪ DK Molds Clear Corner Lenses - $65
▪ C9 Ceramic Protective Lense Coating - $50
▪ RetroShop.us Plug-N-Play Resistors for LED Turn Signals (prevents hyper flash and gets rid of "bulb out" messages) - $25
▪ Lenses Resealed With Morimoto RetroRubber Butyl Glue - $17
▪ RetroShop.us Custom Headlight Building Service Fee - $300

I'm asking $700 for the lights, shipping included. I will also pay to have both boxes insured for the $700 value of the lights. If the buyer wants I can even take a video of the lights being boxed up at the shipping store so you can see they are in mint shape when they are leaving my hands.

I'm willing to trade the headlights for a set of 13+ OEM Black Housing Projectors and you also put $200 on top of the projectors! Also willing to trade these lights straight up for a set of Stock Sport or R/T Wheels with Tires in really good condition.

Located just outside Philadelphia in zip code 18940 so Google maps my zip code to see how far you are!!

**** UPDATED ON 01/04/17 ****

▪ So I decided to go ahead and install the Opt-7 FluxBeam-X H11 LED Bulbs into the Low Beams on the headlights and WOW what a difference!!! I will post a couple photos below showcasing the Opt-7 LED Bulb in the Passenger side headlight, and the OEM Halogen Bulb (Most Likely Osram) is in the Driverside headlight.

fb873463219800e8c2007433f744f98e.jpg

Still asking $850 SHIPPED for the headlights and now that I've installed the Opt7 LED Bulbs I'm way more firm on the $850 price, seeing as the led bulbs cost $110 new and shipping is going to cost me over $100 because I will be insuring the boxes for their $850 value.

This entire build has over $1,200 into these lights!!!! Save yourself a ton of money and time/hassle and buy my lights instead of building your own for the same amount or more!!!

Whaaaaattttt???? I can't believe your dumping these already man. Sick looking lights. GLWS. Sport projectors off rock auto are the cheapest I've been able to find them new if that's the new look you're going for on your front end. [emoji106].

Yea I love how they look and I love the switchback halos but I've decided to go with the 13+ projectors, paint matched, with Switchback led turn lenses and the projector Halo / c bar Halo switchbacks aswell. I'm going to build them myself. So I have to either sell these and buy the tyc's from rock auto and then all the stuff I need or trade these for stock projectors & $300 and buy everything I need.

Either way in the end I'm going to go with red & Black 13+ projectors with Switchback halos/c-bar and the led switchback turn signals.

Hopefully someone loves these lights as much as I do and wants to buy them!

I took some night time pictures to show the brightness of the Halos. It was kind of hard to get them focused in my phones camera because they are so damn bright.

All light in these photos are JUST the Halo Switchbacks and the 3157 Turn Signal Switchbacks. No Fog Lights or Low Beams were used in ANY photos below. These things are just THAT bright!!

e94dbcdec1f951fe5862df65f856b918.jpg5f3652882a061ba593316150971e2b55.jpg

I had to turn the brightness all the way down to 0 on the following photos just to get the Halo's shape to show. So the following photos are super dark looking and it sucks because it hides how bright the Halos really are.

690dc42558c64703e08b02641cb72705.jpg7c2d402c160cf572bc024ad08a234b52.jpgb33b1cf56018b1587c423adf8c7e8430.jpg0b7b61e448a11735005d5df16d0c267b.jpg4a9d23326f2bc18971c163b8e4838521.jpg097bea25720f5bf09dc79c6a2775d6c4.jpgddff8ce7d5871608e7f310c120c96848.jpg

Like I've said before, even though i do not recommend doing so, you can literally drive at night with just these Halo's and Switchback 3157 turn signal bulbs on and you wouldn't even need your low beams. These things are stupid bright and look like a low beam. They are a super pure white and is a really nice color. Would look perfect with a 5500k - 6500k hid kit.

***** PRICE DROP, OPT7 BULBS INSTALLED AND SHIPPING NOW INCLUDED FOR FREE *****

$900 shipped. That includes both boxes insured for $900. Also, the headlights now have the Opt7 LED Bulbs in them. They are $110 bulbs I've now included FOR FREE. Shipping is going to end up costing me over $100 because of the insurance and 2 boxes. So with the lights costing $1,010 originally, the $110 Opt7 Bulbs and the $100+ for shipping, it's upto $1,320+ value for $900

Motivated to sell. Have my eye on a set of 13+ OEM projectors locally for a good price.

I'll take $700 shipped and that includes the opt7 led bulbs and the boxes will be insured for the full $700 amount.

Also willing to trade these lights for a set of 13+ black OEM projectors or TYC Replicas. If I did trade, you would have to be local and you would have to put up $150 on top if they are oem/Mopar and $300 on top of they are TYC replicas.

This is crazy... doesn't someone want a sick set of Blacked Out quads??? I have over $1,280 into this build with the housings and bulbs.

I'm really motivated to sell these lights so I can get a set of 13+ OEM projectors... anyone want to make any offers??

If you have ANY questions about these lights or the build, I'm sure Jeremy over at Retroshop would have no problem answering any questions about the lights. He will tell you I just bought them on 12/19/16 and what's all done to them.

Here is a video of Jeremy showcasing the EXACT lights I am selling. He made a video before I got them.

To be honest
It's a nice set of headlight I wish I had them but the price is too high so I think that's the reason why these haven't sold yet.

Good luck with your sale I'm sure someone eventually will be interested :happy107:

They are nice man but still only quads with a halo lol. You should save your money pull those things out and just retro some projectors in there. Have a unique look for your truck. Obviously you liked those things enough to drop the money on them, probably be more cost effective to just keep them. Just my .02. Plan your build a little bit more and then when you're totally sure on something pull the trigger. Through your many posts on here you seem to get pretty excited over lots of various things you find browsing the web and bounce from thought to thought(take the Rebel grille and bumper and then the next day the two piece bumper for example) Not hating on you at all man, just trying to kick some frugal advice your way. It's awesome you like your truck and are enjoying doing the mods. Just have a vision brother and stick with it somewhat. Lol. Again no hatred or malice here, just friendly advice. Don't go all Hilary on me lol. [emoji23][emoji23] Good luck man.

Yea I hear ya... as for the front end ideas, they are just that... ideas. The posts were to gather information on how hard the swaps would be, etc. I'm not ready to do the front bumper/grille just yet so I'm gathering different options so when I'm ready to do it, I know my options and what will all be involved with each one.

As for these lights I actually ordered the 13+ projectors from RockAuto.com. I ended up seeing the video of these and canceled my RockAuto order (stupid me) and bought these. Like I said I do really like them, it's just i think the oem projectors will look alot better on my truck.

And as for the wheels I kept when I traded my truck in, and then regretted it and traded them, I'm actually glad that chain of events happened because now I have the 20" Chrome clads I originally wanted and if I had kept the original stock 20" Aluminum wheels that came on my truck originally there was no way I would have been able to trade them straight up for these chrome clads. So that actually really worked out well for me in the end.

Either way I need to sell these to get money towards the oem projectors. If they don't sell soon I'm just going to buy the projectors and let these sit on ebay/craigslist until they eventually sell.

I know their not a direct plug n play if you have oem projectors. But... I do know that JJ sells an adapter to go from Quads/Duals to OEM Projectors. I would message him and see if he has an adapter to go the other way, OEM Projectors to Quads or Duals.

Maybe after a tax return I'd be interested. Damn the timing! Glws!

Well come back once you have your tax return... these might still be available!!!

How bad is the glare for oncoming traffic? Do you get any interference with the radio when the led's are on? These are two concerns I have seen posted by others, so I figured I would ask you directly.
