2005 headlight housing

2005 Ram
Need to replace headlight housings only.
No retrofits...just housing.
Who makes housings that fit correctly, by that I mean they fit without huge gaps.
All I've read about are ones that dont line up correctly..
Thanks

The TYC stock replacements worked well for me, but if you're that worried about it then OEM would be best.

I'd second the TYC bran. They're NOT OE quality, but they're pretty good.
Better than generic Litezwharehau5 crap from Amazon.

One caveat with the TYC's, they directly patterned it off the 2002 housing; you would think this is the same but in 2003 they notched the one bolt hole for the ambient temp sensor. In 02's this is under the hood. Easily fixed with a Dremel, but good to know about. I found out the hard way lol. TYC's are about $45 each on Rockauto right now; they don't even have both sides for Mopar at the moment.

Another FYI, don't use the lamps that come with these, either use an OEM one or a name brand upgrade. The generic ass ones that come with these burn out fairly quickly.

I bought a set of replacement headlight housings for a HID retrofit on my 2007 MegaCan.

I got them from Headlights Depot dot com and they fit perfectly.

They got painted and retrofitted:

Different housings than the 05, albeit a better one but different no less lol.

I know that.

My point was the vendor I referred to has good quality headlight assemblies.

The rest was just eye candy.
