Are there any street legal LED lights\light bar that can be added to the 1500 that will produce better lighting than my stock big horn headlights? I know there is a light bar that can be mounted in the lower bumper but it claims to be off road only. Not sure it would produce a blinding light if used on the road.

You can add any LEDs you want honestly ... you just have to be courteous about the drivers especially oncoming traffic ... aim your lights correctly and you won't have any issues ... don't light up all your lights on the streets at the same time and cops won't mess with you ..

Some states have a limit of how many actual lights can be on at the same time, look for how many in your state and you will be fine with any LED application you choose to go with ..

Are the replacement LED headlight bulbs any better than stock if you don't have the projector style headlight housing?

@Mike_Rut consider upgrading your fog light to the DiodeDynamics SS3 Pro level SAE Fog lights, probably the best improvement I've done for lighting. Light is wide and stays low, you drive around in most settings with just the fogs.

Then theres the H11 to H9 mod. 10W more. I’ll swear by it. I still may order some LED’s though.
Thank GOD I now have some full LED headlights ...

I finally got the OK from ANZO USA to answer questions about their new headlights that should be available to the public in about 2-3 months ... looks like they are working out some kinks to make these new headlights as error free as possible ..

So far I am loving these new ANZO USA headlights... so much better than the AlphaRex ones I had .....

Do these turn yellow? Was wondering what happens when you make a turn and the light comes on. I saw some others on youtube that turned yellow when activated and you would have one side yellow and the other clear.

The fogs are either white or yellow, but they don't switch as it's the lens. The new style has the option for a backlight color.
If your truck is a Gen5 this is the correct link: https://www.diodedynamics.com/ss3-led-fog-light-kit-for-2019-2022-ram-1500-non-led.html

Headlights by law must be DOT compliant and stamped as such - without meeting and being DOT compliant they are only legal for off road use only.

Personally as a driver I wish non DOT compliant LED bulbs would be banned outright.

Ordered some of these bulbs. I'll give them a try. Thanks.
Check your state Motor Vehicle Laws.

In Texas, it is unlawful to have more than 4 lamps projected to the front.

This is the lights your talking about?

Just had a chip burn out on my lumibright 9005s in factory projectors, not too happy! Have to contact them as they have a 3year warranty but i don't drive much and not much at night let alone!
