2013 Tradesman Express 5.7 Headlight Assembly Upgrade?

I'd go alpharex if on a budget or morimoto if not unless you are getting a sweet deal on some used projectors, really not worth it imo

If you want to see what stock projector lights look like, this is my 2013 with them.

Any idea what the part number for the MOPAR hood is? I like the look better than the non-vented version my truck came with. I’m looking at the hood below and curious if this is what would work.

That is the Sport hood, make note the scoops are non-functional. Mopar also sold a Ram-Air conversion kit for that hood but it doesn't do much and was quite $$$
Something of that size your probably better off buying from a local dealership or body shop as it will need to be painted to match your truck. You might get lucky and find one in a local salvage yard possibly in the correct color. www.car-part.com

The whole truck is about to get painted, so I was thinking of getting the sport hood from MOPAR (pictured above) ahead of time, which states its primed and paint ready. Fitment shouldn’t be an issue I’m guessing. Just don’t want to spend $1K+ and have that hood shipped only to find it wont fit my 2013 (avatar pic). Or require extra parts. Seems like it should work. Ordering it from a local dealership seems like that might be a smarter move, so I can make sure it hasn’t been dinged up during shipping and can inspect it there.

All the Gen4 (DS body) hoods from 1500s are swappable. Same goes for the sport bumper assembly.
