    Darn Mud

    Do you have running boards as well? Did the mudflaps install easily? Thanks!

    Darn Mud

    OK, as I learn the ropes of being a RAM owner, I am seeing an issue that I'm surprised RAM didn't address--mud flaps. I have the standard issue 2017 Ram 1500 Limited, and it has the tubular running boards (or as they call them, wheel-to-wheel side boards). I notice on my muddy road that it's...

    I have never heard of those bulbs. Will look them up!

    Step It Up!

    OK gang. I'm back with a different topic! I've had a 2002 Avalanche for 16 years, and one thing I really love is the built-in steps on the sides of the bumpers. Now that I have a 2017 Ram 1500, no side steps. I know there are steps out there, but they seem to only be for trucks with a single...

    Newbie Has a Headlight Question

    OK, it's the newb again....I keep going back and forth on this and don't mean to beat this topic to death, one more question--anyone had experience with Fahren LED bulbs? Top rated on Amazon, and a full set of bulbs for low beam, high beam and fog lights is only $119 with free two day shipping...

    Newbie Has a Headlight Question

    OK, a couple of updates. First, my truck arrived 3 days early (YAY). But it had two large scratches on it from the shipper that we have to deal with (boo). Stock headlights are really yellow, and I'm surprised by this as my wife drives a 2014 Ford Fusion and it has similar projectors but they...

    Newbie Has a Headlight Question

    Well, there seems to be the general idea that, "Yes, HIDs and LEDs are illegal for use in onroad headlight conversions" with the added caveat that "but it's such a small thing that it's not generally enforced." So with that said, based on my research, I am looking at the Morimoto 9005 2Stroke...

    Hikari Ultra LED low beam projector review.. With Firewire Highs & Fogs (fail)

    How is everyone getting around the whole LED/HID bulb upgrade in stock projector lenses is illegal and not DOT approved? Or is that even a consideration at all? My new Ram arrives in 1 weeks and I'm sure my first upgrade will be headlight bulbs. Worried that I'll get pulled over for using...

    So for all of you experienced RAM 1500 owners, what did you put in your headlights? Now I'm leaning towards the Sylvania Silverstar Ultras.

    Newbie Has a Headlight Question

    So after being referred to headlight revolution, I was shocked to be told by them that there are NO (none, zero, zilch) street legal LED bulbs for my 2017 Ram Limited with projector headlights that originally came with halogen bulbs. That the only way to put LEDs in my new truck is to buy a...

    Thanks everyone. I guess I have a few days to make a decision as my car delivery date with Vroom is 10/11/2020!

    Newbie Has a Headlight Question

    Thank you for your replies. I see the LED headlights keep all the "guts" inside the lighting housing (no need to cut through the backer). Is it the same with the HIDs? In my old Z4, I had to cut a hole for the wiring harnesses to come out. Thanks for the suggestions though! Would I just be...

    Newbie Has a Headlight Question

    So I just put a downpayment on a very nice 2017 Ram Limited that should be arriving in 7-10 days. I am assuming the projector bulbs that come stock are halogens, correct? I really like the new LED headlights I see in the newer Rams, and since I live quite remotely, having great lighting in...
