I bet!

Nice truck BTW. Now you need to get Jeremy to retrofit you some projectors in your headlights, paint it black, etc.
Is there a thread on this? Done this to my Viper last year.

He has a dozen pictures on his website.... Retroshop.... Take a look.... This is like my 3rd set from him cause I change trucks too damn much.

Yes there is! So I just remove the headlight assembly and send it to him? Or is this a kit I do myself, or I mean my husband will do lol

Either way. He has new ones he can mod or send in yours which is cheaper but can be a hassle without a truck. Like me, driving my bike daily and its effing cold!!!!

Why can't he just do a swap for the same money? That way you are not without your truck?

Hey Syb!

The new wheels and 305's look So much better
I've had 305's on my Ram since 2010, Love Them!


I upgraded my Black 10' Ram to the new style 13+ Projector Heads (murdered out and upgraded FX-R HID's)
and swapped to the new 13+ LED Tails too, Both needed wire harness adapters

The lame old heads were the Quad Design ...so 2009 :p
...I sold mine locally after I got the new projector heads installed.

I much prefer the new Projector style lamps on the newer Rams....so
I had Jeremy crack a set open ( he sells TYC factory replicas for $625/pair)
Painted them all black inside, and tinted the LED signal cover and side reflector candy black.

He also upgraded the projector to a higher quality FX-R
and swapped in an HID kit (35w 5000k) and supplied a wire harness adapter.

The difference in looks and performance over stock is nothing short of amazing.

Warning though ....good and cheap, and cheap aint good.
A fully loaded set is just about the the price of a set of LT Headers
Hit JJ up for a quote. http://shop.retroshop.us/


The Ram Factory projector heads at the local dealership up here sell for $1800 (Canada)
....these awesome Retro Shop customs, plus HID kit for heads and my fogs, plus adapters for my tails
and the barely used LED tails I found locally... were substantially less than that. ;)

Wow I got my projectors just sitting in the garage I had no idea the blackout was going to look so good I guess tomorrow I will be removing radiator covers and grills and all that and putting them in.

Truthfully is it hard to take all that stuff off the 2010 and slap the lights in I mean I was going to do it when I thought it was truly plug and play but then when I seen all that stuff I had to take off I was like I'll do this some other time whenever

Nope, mine are the new 13+ Sport projector headlights. (TYC Replicas $625 before mods)

Did you not notice the change in 2013 Sport models headlights and tail lights??
They are Totally different than what our Sport trucks came with factory in 2010


I sold my stock 10' Sport heads, stock 10' tails and 10' Sport wheels last year
Replaced with 2013 Sport Heads, 2013 LED Tails and new style 2013 Sport Wheels.

You could have a stock set of the fugly old 10' quad heads retro fitted with projectors,
and painted to match your truck...but its still expensive...so why not upgrade to the new stuff?

To me the new style (that already has a projector) looks better,
They also have a wide strip of LED's that run across the bottom
that act as park/signal lights....the old style signal light is a single bulb just like you have now.

I see now. If I go to the dealer and get those is it an easy swap or is an adapter needed?

If you go to the dealer they will charge you twice as much as Jeremy.
...and you would still need to order the wire harness adapter from the Retro Shop.
The new heads are a direct bolt in swap but the wire connectors are totally different.

Adapter is $125
'13 Projector Adapter

Heads (TYC replica) are $625/pair
2013 Ram TYC BiHalogen Projector Headlights

If you want to upgrade the light output to HID's (stock projectors are still halogen bulbs)
Custom paint to match (or black-out the chrome), Halo's, Demon Eyes
....those options all can be selected here:

2013+ Ram Projector - Light Builder

If you want all the bells and whistles...
2013+ Ram - Black, Halo'd Switchback

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JacMq8qwc9c

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=AYEaQMzsWwg

I didn't put anything flashy in mine other than the amber Angel Eyes ($50)

The FX-R upgrade was +$450
(Higher output version of HID kit)

Everything for my heads, fogs and tails from the RetroShop was plug and play
I'm sure your man-***** could knock it out in an afternoon.

Amazing what you guys do with headlights. Will put this on the "to do" list for sure since the factory lights suck. Next week it's getting a full rust proof, hurst shifter and then a "bakflip" cover after the 1st of the year. It never ends...

Hey Syb!

I'd like to hear your truck with a true dual exhaust. Is it somewhere on this forum?

There's 114 pages and I've scrolled around the first 10 pages with no success.

Help out a nice Canadian Ram owner please n thank you :D
