I have a 2017 Ram 1500 Big horn. I am looking to upgrade the headlights to LED. I am looking for a simple plug and play LED headlights.

I have included a picture of my current style of headlights

You may already be aware and are going to roll the dice, but everything Ive seen LEDs just don't throw the light downward as do HID or halogen. Not mention the requirement for relays/resistors.
Ive projectors but went with Sylvania ZXE's and its a nice white and doesn't break the bank.

Fogs example, Driver's side ZXE...

I have some LED headlights in my stock Quad Headlights. Purchased from Xenon Depot. The Lo Beam work much better than stock halogens IMHO (particularly after I adjusted them down). I need to use the 'clocking' feature to dial in the Hi Beams though.

I have the OPT7 in my Quad lows and they are way bright. Need to adjust down though.

Side Question if you had duals and swapped to Quads can you just jumper a wire to make the Lows come on with the Highs like a stock Quad truck would?

BTW the OPT7 was straight forward 15min install.

I'll give a vote for the OPT7's. But, make sure, if you go that route, to get the Fluxbeam-X version. They are much better than the original Fluxbeam. A little more in price, but well worth it. I'm very happy with them. They come with everything you need to be plug and play. And, all of the wiring fits inside the headlight housing.

Exactly what this guy said!

I have those exact bulbs in mine and they are pretty decent for what they are...

I added switchback turn signals so that all my lights at night are white

Do the OPT7 Fluxbeam-X version require the extra resistors? I have a 2008 Ram and I put a set of the Standard Fluxbeams in, and they flickered and shut off. I would prefer not to put in the resistors that run very hot when the headlights are on. The OPT7 site states their resistors are not compatible with the X version.

they have a can bus adapter that plugs into the fluxbeam x lights that keeps them from flickering
