Black/Smoked Headlight/Taillight Recommendations

[B Dauterive]

Hey everyone,

I'm hoping to get some recommendations on some black/smoked headlights and taillights. I have a 2016 1500 Sport with factory projector headlights and factory LED taillights. My truck is the metallic steel grey and I want to get some smoked headlights/taillights with black housings. I've been looking around and I cant find much I like that works with the factory projectors and LEDs. I want to avoid getting the factory lights tinted since I have to pass inspection at some point lol. Any advice or recommendations would be great.

Truck: 2016 Ram 1500 Sport (Metallic Steel Grey)
Factory Projector Headlights, Factory LED Taillights

Alpharex is worth mentioning.

I just put these tails on and love them, they would look great on your color.

Why don't you open yours up and paint them black ?

I want to keep the factory lights untinted so I can swap them back when I need an inspection. My last truck had blacked out lights and I always had to find someone to "pass" my inspection, which typically costs more.

Yeah I looked into the Alpharex, most of the stuff I like is out of stock at the moment but I set some email notifications. Also that hood looks great.

If you have the factory LED taillights, adding a medium tint to them does the truck and costs a fraction of the aftermarket ones.

It's nice to see it on the same color, it looks really good. By the way, what kinda rims do you have on there?

Trust me its not that great in person. Should of just got factory sport hood but hey we live and learn. Good luck and if you decide on Alpha you wont be disappointed.

Oh nice, I like the dub rims. I feel like the wide 5 point spoke rims look good with sport model. Although I'll probably go 20"-22" because I need more tire out here in Texas

I was thinking about a tint wrap for them … (removable later if needed)

I use this guy. Bought them outright and he will buy yours if you want. I kept my oem ones for backup.
Excellent work, now have been on 2 trucks and still look great!!







Edit*** just looked and his prices increased from 2017 but still worth it IMO
