What's up fellas my name's James but everyone calls me Fig (because of my last name) anyways I was involved in a car accident back in January driving my 2004 Honda civic. Got called into work and hit black ice and bam straight into a pole was not good broke a ton of bones and still on the road to recovery needless to say this past weekend I purchased my first ever pick up truck being a 2011 dodge Ram 1500 Hemi 5.7L (I read the owner's manual haha.) I'm looking forward to the journey I will have on it and have big plans for it. Now being new to this I want to do HID headlights to start but don't know if I have a 2 bulb headlight or a 4 bulb could anyone explain to me how I can tell? Looking forward to learning a lot of new things about the Ram truck and can't wait to get the ball rolling. 5d975c7189c53722da1499d6d319d5e9.jpg here she is! It's a metallic forest green color

Welcome! You have the 4 bulbs check out retro shop in the perfered vendors section they are the headlight kings! Sorry to here about your accadent but if it happens again you can RAM it! Anyways good looking truck welcome aboard.


Edit: for refrence here is a pic of the "dual headlights" if you look at yours they have the high and lows separated into different places hints 4 bulbs total 2 in each.

Nice looking truck-at least you now have some metal around you. Looks like someone took really good care of it. Welcome to the forum, I'm rather new myself and I've found a ton of good info here.

Congrats on the new truck Fig and welcome to the forum. I love Honda cars but I feel so much safer in my monster truck. I'm sure you feel the same as you drive your truck. The truck is so practical you won't miss your Honda. Have a speedy recovery.
