On a little bit of mod streak, the next mod I would like to do is replace the quad halogen head lights with OEM projectors. I can get a set of OEM projectors for mopar online for about $250. My question is I have a 2016 tradesman can I just switch the housing plug the new ones in and be up and running ? Or will I experience issues since my truck currently does not have OEM projectors ?

The headlights you are looking at ARE NOT PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS. Too good to be true.

You are looking at the black housing non projector quad headlight. If you want those they are completely plug and play no additional harnes/wires needed.

Black TYC Oem Projectors

$223.79 http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=5910342&cc=3000991&jnid=432&jpid=5

Click add to cart at the top.

You must select Ram - 1500 - 2013 - Body - Headlamp Assembly -

Even though you selecr 2013 they will fit any 09-17 Ram, if your ram did not come with oem projectors then you will need the adapter harness from www.retroshop.us for $125.

Right now a drop in HID kit and color changing halos. It's possible I might also have him paint to body color but I haven't decided yet. I just did a stereo install and have 4 led concepts 3" light pods with halo rings in them , a 30" light bar and 2 3" pods for reverse lighting all coming in the next few weeks. The 4 halo light pods I would like to put 2 where each fog light is along with the halo head lights will look pretty cool. After all that's done the only thing left is lift tires and rims but that's down the line
