alternatives to HID's

[JCJ4290]

I bought my Retros from JJ back in 2012 for my 12 Ram and fogs as well. Sold the truck, used the ballast in my car, then put them in my 14 Ram. I love the idea of LED, but until JJ finds a set for the lows in the projector housing, I won't touch them. He has a Ram and knows his shut. My ballasts are the same from back then, a 35 and 50w, and run great. I'd say hold off til he finds a fix for the iffy 15's. If he hasn't found a complete solution, I wouldn't trust others.

Yep. Emailed Jeremy a couple of times today and he said that it may be a couple of weeks till the kits come out for the 2015's. I'd be willing to go with leds, but like it was said here, those seem to be bright but don't seem to reach very far.

What kelvin are you going for?

 

[martian171]

I want a bright white with a hint of blue, so I'm thinking maybe 5 or 6k

If you're itching to get some new lights and you want them to match I'd recommend for fog lights Morimoto XB LED Headlight / Foglight bulbs

They're for matching your 5k hids. They aren't as bright but I'd say they're pretty damn good.







Direct plug and play. Just take out old bulbs and put these in.

Is that first pic, just the LED fogs? or also the your other two lights also?

Eh, both but those led fogs overpower the drls by a long shot. Any light you see is from the fogs.

Check these out 42 Watt LED Headlight Conversion Kit.. Complete plug and play, bright as hell, lower watt than halogen bulb, white color

Do you have any photos with your LEDs on so we can see how bright they are?

Is that the led kit that you linked in the first page? They do look bright as hell, nice white color too. I'm assuming that you have them installed for ur lows too.


Warl, are those the same that you have on ur truck

Yea those are the kit I linked in a earlier page.. I only have them installed in my fog lights cause I have headlight covers on so I wanted a brighter fog light to make up for the covers since you can't see a thing with them on.. I only like to take the covers off on long drives.

No mine are different.

Morimoto XB LED Headlight / Foglight bulbs

Per the page, his are up to 2300 lumens and the one I listed are up to 3000 lumens and 60$ cheaper.

Probably because his are 6k and the retroshop ones are 5k.

Do those ones have a good beam? Like any distance in them?

Posted an example on page 3. I hadn't aimed them before those pictures but they were already aimed pretty high.

Yea but it looks like you have another set of lights on to.. I just wanna see fog lights. Is that your factory fog light housing?
