Black Headlights

markusaf81 · Dec 4, 2018

Looking for OEM black headlights. Pretty sure I don’t have the projectors. Want the exact Same ones I have but black. Anyone selling or anyone know of the part numbers to price out?

Here’s a pic of mine now:

You have the quad headlights. Ebay motors. Dodge Ram black quad headlights.

I know I’ve seen a set on ebay for a little over $100.

You have to make sure I’m the eBay ones that they use the same bulbs as OEM or you might need to replace your bulbs as well. I am in the same boat and looking for the same thing

I will say that the factory bulbs on those headlights are down right horrible. Bulbs are fairly cheap, might as well update to a better/ brighter Silvania H9 and H11

I was worried about going aftermarket because of leaks and all that. I’ll do some research on these

I purchased a set off eBay that are pretty much like what @ilovemyramlaremie posted. Paid about $130.

Liked the lights, looked great. I did upgrade the lows and signals with led.

The bad. High beams on one light did not work. Is was the harness. Easy to fix, still had my oem, so I had a harness to fix it. The lense was thinner than oem and the set I got had a bulge in the lense. I got used to the look, so no problem. But, those lenses got destroyed by the weather in about 8 months time. Summer probably did them in as it started in July and by September they were toast. Not sure if a uv protectant would have prevented that. I already have my oem and my black replacements cracked open to swap the oem lenses to the black quads.

I like them, but what I ended up getting came with their share of needs! Hopefully someone can point you to a set that they have had a good experience with. Here's a pic of them on and another that shows you what happened to the lenses.

And don't forget to add some extra seal to prevent condensation!

I'd be careful with the cheaper eBay ones. I bought a set and they had pretty bad light scattering and beam pattern. Luckily, the company gave me a refund. So, I ultimately decided to open and paint my housings black myself.
Here are some comparison pictures between OEM and the cheap eBay ones.

I'm assuming its ridiculously difficult to open the OEM ones? Ive heard ovens and heat guns are needed. Honeslty, the OEM ones aren't too expensive, 240 for both.

Yeah it wasn't very easy. Took me a couple hours. So yeah, if that's not worth the effort to you, also, there's some risk that you'll ruin them, buying the OEM ones should be good for you. $240 for both is a good deal, eBay has the OEM ones for about $300 with free shipping.
I just happen to enjoy projects like this and I like saving the money, so it was worth it to me to do it myself.

I bought the cheap 115$ black replacements off ebay, installed for 1 week and sent back. Wouldnt adjust worth a damn and light pattern was stupid scattered!
Paid 290 from dealer on ebay( forget which one) and they are perfect.
The old saying applied ...you get what you pay for!!

I've been eye-ballin' these myself. I'd definitely stay away from ebay aftermarket junk. One of our forum sponsors sells the Mopar pair for $255:

Great pics! Can you please explain the process of taking them apart and then resealing them?
