Quad Headlight Painting - 2016 - No Projector Conversion

that_blue_ram · Dec 4, 2016

Hey guys,

Hope I'm not duplicating a topic/thread here. I have quad headlights in my 2016, I've converted them to LED swaps, lows and fogs... not interested in retrofitting to a projector.. want to use my LED bulbs and the quad style reflection.

Idea is that I keep the chrome reflective parts as they are (need to throw the light duh!) and paint everything else.

Now where I'm stuck is do I paint blue to match my truck, black to black then out, or a nice rich grey colour to darken the lights without being an over baring black colour against the blue...?! Decisions decisions!

Any feedback of pictures would be greatly appreciated!

Headlights stick out like a sore thumb.

For example I like this look above think it really sets the truck off in just the right way..!

I think with your satin black grill and bumper cover.....I'd stick to satin black. I don't think blue would look right there.....I tend to tell customers to match the grill in cases like this.

Not sure how the blue would look, my vote would be to black them out.

Ahh I forgot I uploaded that pic! I've actually since gotten a colour matched bumper cover... and since getting that I was thinking of stripping the plasti dip off the grill for the chrome grill and bumper look..

Decisions decisions, so with a chrome grill and colour matched upper bumper cover, you're still suggesting black? I'm leaning that direction... sometimes I find colour match housings to be tacky, needs to be the right colour and right truck..

Pic sbelow has the colour matched bumper cover.

So I'm new to lifting... I have a 2015 1500 that I want to lift and level. Was thinking of the 4" Superlift kit. I like yours though. I don't know what to do. I have Bils 1500's on backorder.
