I just bought a 2012 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi. The headlights suck. So I went to the autoparts store and he advised I get the Sylvania Silverstar ZXEs. I need some input on these and what options are the best. I don't want anything with a lot of blue. Thanks!:)

They will have a lot of blue, they are made to look like HID but won't come close to the output. The reason I know this is because I actually sell them lol. The Sylvania Ultra's will have the same output but a whiter light. In the end if you can swing HID's in projectors you would be 100x better off spending money that way.

HID's make nice clean light. You can choose the level of blue you want by looking at the K scale. I like 6000k just a hint a blue, not obnoxious.

Okay so I decided on the HIDS. So now the bigger question is what is a good name brand? I hear some cause more problems than their worth and others are awesome. I was told to purchase the DDM Tuning H13 5000k Kit. Opinions?

Etroze86 I was told that I can buy 35w HIS and they will be fine in my stock housing. 55w is when I would need to buy projectors. Is this correct?

I would do projectors in both as HID's as they are not technically legal for on road use. The big thing is HID make such horrible glare in our giant headlights I wouldn't want anyone to be blinded coming at me.
DDM is a good company, I do like using mirimoto because of the customer service JJ gives and person and also the guys over at theretrosource.com. DDM you generally get outsourced tech help.

You have any pics of your LED lights? Curious about this. I checked out the website and it shows 2 different H11 bulb replacements.
