I have a 2016 1500 with projector headlights. I need to get new headlights and everything says if I have projector, certain lights wont work. Is this true if i'm replacing the whole housing? Do I have to stay with projector or can I install any headlight? I also want to switch to led.
Are there any headlights recommended
I used these Fahren LED bulbs in my Warlock and they were plug-and-play, with no flicker or bulb-out notification problems. In the high beam, they are spectacularly bright. The low beams are a massive improvement over the halogen but not as impressive as the high beams.
One caveat, my high beam bulbs are 10,000 lumens (bought in the US), and the low beams are 9000 lumens (bought in Canada). The 1000-lumen difference may not be the reason for the performance difference, the low beam projector lens I have are quite different from the high beams.
I asked Fahren why their Canadian 9005 bulb from Amazon was older and less powerful. They responded by sending me a new set of the latest version of 9005s with 10,000-lumen bulbs, I haven't installed them yet.
The projectors in my truck use 9005s for both low and high beams. Other projectors use H11s & 9005s, you used to be able to buy a kit of 4 bulbs from Fahren, 2xH11s & 2x9005s.
If you decide to use Fahren, be aware that they make several different profiles that may or may not allow the back cover on the housing to be installed.
The dimensional size details are shown in one of the pictures listed on Amazon.
The bulbs linked above are the lower profile and fit the projectors in my truck, allowing the back cover to be installed, I suspect the larger profile Fahren bulb will not.
