Hey guys,

Just installed Fahren LEDs in the fogs and lows in my 2016 ram with quads went to get the high beams here: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07NPMMNR3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And can't seem to get them under the dust cover. Based on everything I've read here these should fit and have for others so I'm curious if perhaps I'm doing something wrong or? They also seemed rather loose in the housing which was bizarre to my eye.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Side note tho, really like them in the fogs and lows:

They should fit, they are in my housings now. If they aren't fairly snuggle, make sure they are the right size. They should be close to the dust cover, but it should clear.

I installed these in my 2017 with projectors and the high beams did wiggle a bit, there are extra rubber rings provided in the box that help.

Did anyone have issues with their fogs operating? Installed Fahren high and lows and my fog lights won’t turn on now. Dash says on but no lights.

Got those ones in my projectors with room to spare in the low beam socket. Even more room in the high beams

It should be the 9005 ones for the quad highs right? That's what I read.

It was loose enough that you could spin it with the driver as I was fishing that into the housing as well...

Make sure the locking ring that attaches to the bulb base, held in place with a small set screw (allows you to rotate bulb around) is seated all the way against the base of the bulb. There should be 2 tabs that keep it down in place, but it's possible it isn't seated all the way causing the back end of the bulb to protrude further than it should.

Yea I even tried to mess with that and see if it could be pressed further. :(

Tried both sides to the same result.
