Got the black quad fleabay specials on today. Turn signal is a bit dull but it'll do I think. I like the look. I'd give fitment 7/10. Not bad but not stock. Only casualty was a plastic rivet on the grille which doesn't seem to be a big deal. Also swapped out the chrome steps for black (have a like new chrome set I'll put up for sale soon).

No, just clear lenses. I got smoked fogs but somewhere I've messed something up. I read the fogs are 9145 bulbs, order some sylvania ones but in the spyder smoked fogs I got they use 9006. So idk which is right. Don't want to tear off the bumper to find I have the wrong bulbs or fogs.

That looks good. You really need some black sport wheels now.

Those headlights look really sharp. Do you have a link for the ones you bought?

Well to be honest guys the more I look, the less I like them. I think they look great, but the turn signal is very dim compared to stock. I was worried about that with the lack of the reflector going in. I think I will probably switch to the stock black quads if I can find them.

Could this be fixed by replacing the turn signal bulb to something like the 3157 switchbacks that RetroShop sales?

I'm sure an LED would be plenty bright. I just really don't want to go the LED route.

I understand. Just a thought. Any chance you could post the link of which lights you bought?

Sure, and I think these lights are nice. I'm impressed by their build quality especially for the price. Just wish they had a chrome reflector around that turn bulb.

No need to tear off the bumper....those fogs come off from the back side.

What kind of led switchbacks can I get there are so many and do you need the special adapter for the ram so it don't draw any dashlightts? I would love to go that route

you dont have to run the adapter if you dont want, all you have to do is splice in a resistor, the adapter just makes it esier, i have many kinds of switchbacks, the ones i like look like they have a projector on the front
