So, I’ve already swapped out my stock quads to the black stock quads. I’d like to find an aftermarket headlight set that has a DRL option to it and looks more modern than the stock quads. Seems like everyone has the LED perimeter accents anymore except Ram. Any options available out there?

Check out the retrofit source, he's a supporting vendor. May have some that are what you are looking for already or can modify your existing headlights.

Instead of swapping for the black oem quads you should have swapped for the oem 13+ projectors. They look way more modern and you can even open them up and put in switchback halos and led DRL boards to give them an even more modern look.

Here's a set I built for my truck.

You could also send your chrome quads to a headlight company like www.RetroShop.us , a vendor in here, and he could paint them and install these halos. Or send your black ones in to have the halo put in them.

This is a set of black quads I had built by Retroshop. I sold them last March and built the lights I posted above but these were really nice when I had them. Got compliments everywhere I went.ac9dc95b1e73381917b9418d98104b1e.jpg65db08857700dc08f0ed5eaee03aec1d.jpg3b6b5673b3f20cf1fd97f512b28cc57d.jpgd31f80ae672a5dd535a44146b7cc5433.jpg

Retroshop does good work but its a little too rich for my blood.

I'm not a huge fan of the factory projectors. They arent terrible, just not my taste.

Hence my dilemma. May just not have an option to suit me for now but figured Id ask.

Oops, retroshop not retrofit source like I said in my post earlier. Sorry Jeremy! He does awesome work. It is expensive as hell, but it is so nice. I spent about 1.3k having g my headlights done and it's amazing. It's so awesome driving down the highway lighting up all lanes, plus the sides, plus 2 cars in front of you lol

Jeremy at Retroshop does fantastic work. A slightly more expensive route is GoRecon if you want an a different look.

The GoRecon stuff is just marked up chinese stuff. Nothing (in my mind) wrong with chinese stuff but you can buy the exact same thing on eBay for less than half the price.

Exactly. Recon charges $899 for their "Tribal Design" headlights when you can buy them on eBay for $300 or less. The same exact lights, they even come in Recon packaging and everything on Ebay for less than 1/3 the price if you were to go straight through Recon.
