LIGHT UPGRADES

Dave Haddon · Feb 19, 2021

Man I have done a ton of research on aftermarket headlight and tail light housings. It must be just me but crikey these suppliers want an arm and a leg and your first born for these upgrades. Pricing varies from &650 to over $1335. I mean "COME ON MAN"..cut the profit line a touch and you might get more sales...geezzzish.
Seriously I do not know how these suppliers survive with these kind of prices unless a lot of the Ram owners are well heeled.

I paid $200 each for both sets of headlights & taillights.
AmeriLite duals w/DRL tubes up front and Spyder LED tails out back.

on your 2020, did you not get the premium LED lights?

I said the same thing when I got out of the Jeep world. Everything seems 2X what the cost of a Jeep mod is.

Eh, controversial topic but it's been my observation that most light "upgrades" are truly downgrades. If I want to not see anything in the rain I could just turn my headlights off I don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on crappy blue lights for that.

I just upgraded the bulbs and I'm happy. The difference is significant. Just do your homework!

I’d say now, after the fact IMHO, aftermarket lights are worse than stock. I wish I kept my stock headlights and kept the HID bulbs in the stock housings. I think at the time I went for the look without thinking of actually being able to see better. That’s just me though.

Same. cheap and effective. When I need more ligth, i flick a switch an Rigid pods take over.

No, I just got the truck off the lot s it was just the base Classic Express 5.7 with Halogen lites. I am leaing towards just upgrading the bulbs to LED.

That's what I did with my 2014 3500 - full on LED bulb swap, along with setting fogs to DRL and disabled Fog light dropout w/AlfaOBD...

Think I will do the same with signals and rear lights..The housings although nice to look at are way too much money.
