Horrible headlights….

T_D_Q · May 16, 2023

I think a 1907 Model T had better headlights! Anyway, any suggestions? Is it possible to just switch out bulbs without any other mods on my 22 RAM 1500? I am wondering because I could not do that on my BMW when I had it. Any bulb suggestions would be appreciated.

Which trim level do you have? I haven’t seen any Rams yet that came with factory halogen headlights where they couldn’t be changed out or upgraded.

IF you have the standard lighting, you should have the H11 halogen bulb for your low beam.
You can do a simple upgrade by going to a halogen H9 bulb.

High beams should be 9005LL bulbs which you can upgrade to Philips 9011 high beams.

These cheap and easy to do bulbs will be a vast improvement over the H11 and 9005 bulbs.

If you need a hand, I am pretty close to you.

I have a 23 LONESTAR and I was wondering if the LED headlights and taillights from a Laramie fit?

If they fit it still isn't a bolt in as programming would be needed.

Other than looks, there's really no plus to the taillights - even then when a couple of the LED's fail, you lose the "looks" battle.

I as well have a 2022 1500 big horn. I fitted the complete truck with h11 leds by lasfit…. I’m very happy with all the lights on the truck now. I just have to adjust my housings cause my truck is lifted and I’m killing ppl

This is the only way i can show you my lights cause in our convo there wasn’t a attach files option

lasfit LEDs all around …… the rear brake lights are dimmed due to the smokedtaillights.com paint job on them but when I hit the brakes they are bright af. Also i am trying to show you the turn signal in the headlight is awesome their switchback is really nice and my favorite light that only goes amber when turning

Shine006 · May 22, 2023

I did the Lasfits also. Lows,highs and fogs. Been in right at a year now and love them. Big difference.

Terry Nemitz · May 22, 2023

Try "Auxito" leds. So far I am very pleased with their lights. I put them both a Projecter and non-projecter vehicles. Looking great.

That’s a bummer! I feel like my 21 limited has the best headlights of any car I’ve ever owned and that includes the 7 BMW’s that I’ve had.

I'm just curious here, but do you people live in the depths of hell or someplace? I have a 19 with factory headlight and fog lights and have zero issues with brightness. I see people complaining about the lights all the time but I just don't see it.. no pun.

I have a 2012 Laramie CC with those sorry ass quad headlights.
I would love to switch out the bulbs especially the low beams.
Can anyone tell me what bulbs I have and what is a good replacement?????

Hell is a matter of opinion

Is your 19 LED? Then yes, factory is very good and good enough as far as I am concerned. Our 2019 Laramie with factory LED is way better than anything without LED. The ones that are upgraded LEDs that blind you on low beam are the problem.

bigdog85 · May 22, 2023

i switched my halogens to fahren led's great upgrade but wouldn't hesitate buying the Lasfits as well

Zac1 · May 22, 2023

My 2022 Laramie came with led lights. I love it. I also have auto low/high beam works great

I bought a 19 bighorn with Leds will never go back for sure

Maybe the headlights just need to be adjusted? The headlights on my 2500 seemed really poor right from the get-go. At the same time, on 2-lane roads people were flashing their lights at me at night. I did some inquiry and found that the lights were easy to adjust on my own. Voila! The problem was poor adjustment from the factory. 20 minutes with a screwdriver was all it took...

Horrible headlights….
