I only found bits and pieces of info on the forum. So, I figured I'd just ask the question here.

I have a 2014 RAM. I do not have projector lights. I'm looking for a plug and play option to replace my OEM bulbs with LED.

Thanks!

OPT7 LED's. Do a search on here for them, you'll find a couple of threads about them.

Although, now after spending the better part of last night reading more reviews, I will be giving you guys a call today regarding one of your kits. I need more info.

In the last 4 months I've gone from led drop in bulbs to HID's, then from HID's in halogen housings to doing a retrofit.


Hands down, HID's take the cake. LOTS more usable light, better beams with hid.

Just my $.02

I have to admit, I really loved the HID's on my old jeep. So I decided to get these from retrshop.

Although I hardly ever use my high beams, I may get a little OCD and go for an LED. Any suggestion for high beams?

The HID in the projector should also act as high beam when the cut off shield does its thing. But if you want to add LED's in place of the halogen high beam you can search this Headlights Fog Lights DRL LED HID Halogen Xenon Bulbs | Autolumination but im not sure about them being error free. People on here talk about Opt7 http://www.shiphid.com/ebayimg/LED/LED_FOG/CREE/Gallery/Lead/CreeFog_9006_9005_H11_H10-1.jpg

Thank you,

I actually have quad lights. From what I understand there is pleanty of room under my dust covers. I'm just looking for confirmation and reviews from anyone with an HID low and LED high beam setup. I'll check those links out!

Good luck with an LED high beam in the factory quads. My led headlight bulbs, when I had them, BARELY fit into the low beam. Lot more room in there vs the high beam socket, if im not mistaken.

I will most definitely hold off on these until someone can confirm otherwise.

Thank you!!

Didn't forget about you! I tried putting one of the New Brights led's in the high beam on the factory quads, but, it stuck out farther than the cap sits when screwed in.. Maybe someone else was able to get a shorter LED light in there, but the ones I had are a no go

Thanks man!!!

Yeah, I was installing my HID's yesterday, before I ran into a little snag, and I noticed there really isn't any extra room for the high beam in LED.

You can do high beam LEDs. I have high, low and fogs in my quad headlight 2015.

Philips ZES can be carefully fitted under the dust covers along with the driver and anti flicker module. As a plus the beam pattern on the highs is excellent.

The ZES also have rotatable collars and adjustable depth so they can be clocked and depth adjusted to maximize the beam.

It's not an easy fit. Most say you can't do it but I did. I guess it also depends on the size of your modules. Mine all came from Auto LED up in Canada.
