Hi,
I am looking to buy these headlights

https://alpharexusa.com/product/09-18-ram-truck-pro-series-5th-gen-2500-style-projector-headlights-black/?v=bb13f5edb43c

For Laramie 2020 Classic with factory projectors. Does anyone replace the headlights with these to their ram. Do i need wiring adapter for headlights to make it work. If yes than how? Mine doesn’t have bulb adapter but wiring harness does have bulb adapter. So basically can someone please explain how can i get them work.
Confused
Cheers SK

These are plug and play. On the website there is an option for the type of headlight you have. Since you have projectors already, you will need the adapter they sell. Select that option when purchasing

Thanks for advice. The adapter they sell for projector type headlight( as per picture) is different. The plugs are different from actual factory headlights. Thats why i am bit confused.

They'll work like stated above. Just select the projector harness option when adding to cart

Since your truck already has the factory projectors, as mentioned order the adapter with the new headlights.
That adapter looks like this:

(the respective connections are noted)
You'll also wire the DRL connections to these adapters.

The pictures on their website are generic. The connections will work for your vehicle.

Don't be surprised if you get the parking light out error ....

Why is that? Stock projector light didn’t have any parking bulb. Parking bulb is in fog light here in Australia for some RAM reason.

Parking lights just is a different feed that uses the turn signal bulbs. The g2 version with switchbacks have been problematic with parking light out messages. He's had a hard on about it for a while. Anytime anyone mentions alpharex that's his comment. Just because something is "plug and Play" doesn't mean it won't come with issues. But it seems like it's only been a issue with the g2 headlights.

Yes hopefully you have no issues man .... but it is only fair to let others know that they "might" have issues you know ?

I recently installed the Alpharex G2 Pro headlights. I go the parking light out error, too. I contacted Alpharex and they sent me some resistors to install (they tap into the parking light wiring). Since then, I haven't seen the error. This was free...

The headlights should already come with resistors on them or send them with the headlights in case you need them but they wont do that ... they wanted me to wait 8 weeks I think for them to send me resistors when I got mine and I send the headlights back to them .... yes I could of bought the resistors my self but I was also disappointed with the light output so that made the decision to send them back even more easy ...

I do plan on getting the NOVA series though

The resistors they sent me were for the parking lights (or could be used for the turn signal- same harness wires). Only took about a week to receive them and they were easy to install.

It's been happening in my NOVA's any time the temps drop down below freezing. I get "FRONT PARKING LIGHT OUT" messages every 20-40 seconds non stop if i have them switched on.
