Does the projector headlights of the 2013 Ram Sport fit the 2010 model? I love those headlights and don't want to go with the ones on EBay.

They'll fit but you'll need some wiring, contact JJ at Retro Shop (he's on here) and he can get you all set up.

Thanks! I am aware of the wiring. I just want projectors and those OEM ones look great! My only issue is if i want black or chrome.

What other accents do you have on your truck? Would the chrome seem like too much chrome? If it's in the budget I would contact JJ and see if he can paint part of the internals to match so you have the best of both worlds. Or if you're up to it you can bake the headlights and take what you want painted to a local body shop and have them shot. Looking at your front end in your profile picture I'd leave some chrome.

Go with JJ.... But be prepared for sticker shock.

I'm not kidding.

Well, I would go with blacking out the inside of my current headlights, but I want to replace them just because I want projectors. If I decide to go with black, I will black out all chrome, but i am thinking of keeping the chrome. So i will be getting the chrome headlights. I have so many options i want to go with this truck:
Blacked out or leave chrome
24" rims with low profiles or 20" with all terrain tires

Those are the two set ups i am trying to decide between. Everything else will fall into place.

I am really leaning toward 20s with a thick all terrain sidewall tire. I am not really into big rims, but i do want the fender well filled in nicely.

I have the one with the single bulb for high and low beam. I do intend on putting them up for sale. I am from Mississippi.
