Black 2009-2017 Dodge Ram 1500 2500 3500 DRL LED Projector Halo Headlights Lamps | eBay

I really like the look of the base headlights on the ram trucks. But I want some decent light output as well. Has anyone ever used these headlights on their ram? Or maybe run a similar light setup? Any input is greatly appreciated.

Or you could get a company like RetroShop (a vendor on these forums) to retrofit a real projector (morimoto mini h1) into your stock dual lense and the light output eould be 100x better then those ebay projectors.

The problem with most of the ebay projectors is that they use the cheapest projector lense they can buy. What happens is your light output eill actually be worse then your stock lense. Also those lights have a halogen bulb and come with a sticker on them that says "no hid allowed".

This. All those aftermarket designs are all about looks. Performance is always reduced, not improved.

They remind me of a pair that looked awesome, but I was so disappointed with the proformance when I put them on my avalanche. I'll keep the stock lights on my ram as they work great. Unless someone knows of a halogen bulb that is brighter or whiter

Thanks for the input guys. I just liked the way these lights looked. I have thought about getting someone like retro shop to workup my headlights. But I'll still have to buy headlights to run while they outfit mine. I'd love to paint the inside of my lights and put in projectors. But that's time to. Maybe I'll look for some of those base headlights on eBay to buy cheap and then send em out to get retro fitted.

Thats what im doing right now. Except im doing the retrofit myself along with a few custom things.

I missed an auction yesterday where a almost brand new pair of chrome quads sold for $86.... I was so mad.

Today a very similar auction was at $83 with 20 mins left. Ended at $163.

Im pretty sure im buying a used set off a fellow forum member on wednesday for $115 shipped. Its already been all setup, just waiting to hear back from him about still sending the payment wednesday morning like we agreed to a few days ago.

Hopefully my quads will be here soon. I should have my black tyc projectors put onto my truck in a day or two. They have been sitting in my room and its just been too cold and snowy here outside Philadelphia. These quads are sorta like a side project for fun. I want to see if i can successfully retrofit them and also like i said i have a few custom ideas i want to try that have never been done before on a set of quads [emoji48]

Sounds like you have a nice little project on your hands. I wish you luck with the quads you are buying. I have thought about retro fitting a set of quads myself. I have looked at a few posts on here of guys who have done it themselves and its pretty cheap. I honestly am Just afraid of baking the headlights and screwing something up when taking them apart or putting them back together. But many guys do it with no issue so I guess I can try it especially if they are just a spare set of headlights.
Please let me know when you get your headlights in I would love to see what you do. Especially if you make a build thread. Good luck on your project sir!

If you have an extra set to run while your doing a retro project then it can be fun to do. Taking your time will make it more enjoyable vs rushing it because your truck is inoperable. I have another set sitting in my garage that I should probably start workin on...I too am trying to come up with something different for them before I start.
