    Another headlight thread from a lighting NOOB

    Interesting. What is it that you don't like about the Innovited stuff? I've only seen positive feedback on them around this forum.

    Another headlight thread from a lighting NOOB

    Just an update for anybody who's following along at home, or those who may search this topic in the future: The Hikari Ultra LED's in my low beams haven't lasted well. They've replaced 2 under warranty, but now I'm out of warranty and one of the replacements is dying. Since I've never really...

    What Headlight upgrade did you do?

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm curious how this is working out several months later? I've got AlphaRex Pro projectors with Amazon LED's. I haven't loved the low beams, and I'm starting to investigate the upgrade to HID.

    The Stembridge 2021 RAM Classic "Warhawk" Build Thread

    I got uneven wear on the Geolandars I had also. I got good life out of them, but they definitely didn't wear the way I thought they should

    How to add remote start to 2017 Ram

    When I did this job, I plugged the wire from the hood latch into the wrong pin under the dash. It would be worth double-checking that before you pay the dealership for their labor. Do you have any messages in the evic when you try the remote? Maybe something about the hood being open?

    look at this brush guard

    I'd rather not look at it, if it's all the same to you... Ooofda MAY that's ugly...

    It's a great idea, but MAN is it ugly with the door closed.

    My New Ram 1500 Classic

    Most of them are just stuck on with adhesive. The large Ram logo in the center of the tailgate is an exception. I used my wife’s hairdryer because I was nervous about a heat gun burning the paint. Be very careful with the fishing line or dental floss. I rubbed a gouge in the clear in one spot...

    Another headlight thread from a lighting NOOB

    @RoTalk, in the end, there’s advice all over this board about housing and bulb combinations that have worked for others. It may cost a little, but really the only way to do this upgrade is to try different combinations until you find a setup that works for you. Whatever you wind up trying...

    Another headlight thread from a lighting NOOB

    It’s been a while since I finished this upgrade, but I don’t THINK I made any changes in AlphaOBD for my headlights. If you only changed your high beams to LED, you may be OK with the housings you have. What I found was that the stock quad housings threw light everywhere, so I was blinding...

    Remote start

    The easy way to add factory remote start is to contact your dealer with your VIN number, and they can sell you a kit that will likely include the new RF Hub, 2 new fobs, new hood latch with the hood ajar switch, and all the wiring you'd need for the install. From there you can either pay them...

    Hour counter

    This makes the most sense. It's strange though.

    It's a serious sleeper!!!

    Hour counter

    Anybody else have issues with their hour counter? I was thinking about a Silverado I used to have and how many idle hours it must have had before I bought it, that led me to curiosity about my current Ram, so I looked at the counter this morning on my way to work. It claims I have 161 idle...

    How to add remote start to 2017 Ram

    If you don’t have that, I’m guessing you also don’t have an RF hub capable of adding remote start, you might be best off buying one of the Mopar kits with the hood latch, the harness all the way to the BCM, the RF hub, and 2 remotes. Just a thought.
