Black quad headlights

swine · Nov 20, 2015

I just got my Mopar OEM black quad headlights and got them installed. I know most people swap to the projectors, but it just wasn't in my budget right now. I wanted to have a more blacked out look on the front end and get rid of all that chrome. I think these lights do a pretty good job. The lights were $120 each and a direct replacement.

New black quads

Old chrome

Black, again

I like the look of these, and you got a hell of a steal if you got 'em for $120 a pop!

Looks good did you change the bulbs to assist with the black housings?

no real need on that, the reflective surface (the bowl) is still chrome, so all good, no impact on light output.

I got lucky! The dealer where I got them originally quoted me MSRP, but the guy who actually does the shipping orders gave me their wholesale price. I had a heck of a time finding these. I was told the left lights were on national back order with no ETA. One dealer I called was nice enough to tell me which dealers showed that they had them in stock. She said it showed only six had them nationwide.

Yeah, can usually find them for $115-$120 each but then add shipping :flipthebird:

Looks good.

I really like these. I had a set of the Depo ones that I used temporarily until I opened them to put projectors in and the light output definitely wasn't as good as my factory quads. Love seeing an option from the factory like this.

You can find those on ebay for $120 for both.

Looks good though.

No. You can find cheap copies on eBay. These are OEM lights direct from the manufacturer. I didn't want the lights that everyone complains leak and fog up, so I was willing to pay for OEM quality.

I don't hear complaints about the ones on ebay. And many many many people have them.

You coulda got a pair of projectors for less then those on ebay too. I know a few people these forums running them with no complaints.

eBay ones definitely aren't the same quality. Light is scattered and the housing itself isn't the quality of OEM. The eBay lights are still pretty good for how inexpensive they are but definitely not on par with the ones he got.

looks good

As long as you like them. The black looks nice but are you looking to change those out in the future?

Yeah, I read people that say the same with the OEM projectors vs the TYC ones.

So to ask this again but are you going to be upgrading your lights at a later date? If so, all this is for nod. You will definitely be able to sell them later but why not wait and get what you really wanted.
Also, there are plenty on the forum with the after markets with no problems. I have a set of Spyders coming Tuesday so I'll let you know how the show. I already run led's all the way around and my light pattern is exact and on point now and as I'm going to double halo projectors it will only get better.

bigolayne · Nov 21, 2015

Here is led in the quads so thinking logically the projectors should pinpoint even more

These are the spyder projectors. That glare...
