I may be the only one who was interested in doing this, but im 99.99% certain that im the only one who has done this so far, I made the first plug and play conversion to let the rams that came with OEM projectors have the ability to run any headlight they want thats made for a 4th gen, tested it this weekend and no errors, no hyper flash, it worked great, the only thing thats different is that you have to run a LED signal bulb, they designed the system on these rams to not be able to take the load of a regular bulb, so all of my testing was done with LEDs only, i used a switch-back LED bulb for my signal, and the one i chose for testing was the one that Jeremy at Retro-Shop sales, but just figured id post this up here for you guys to see!

after the testing on the truck i removed the projector style switchback and tried a switchback that has a more flood effect that worked much better in the quad housing...

as soon as the video is done uploading to youtube ill post it here!

The lights look good. I like the 'fill' style switch back m'self.

Side Note: That's an interesting work desk you have there.

its just a 14ft long table i made, the carpet is a left over piece from my new house i use it up there so i dont scratch lights while working on them, and the radio is a pioneer car radio that i modded a power supply to run and it pushes 4 speakers in my garage ;)

So what are you doing the the projector headlights? and will they work on an 09?

the projectors are back on my truck!
