Hello all,
I have a 2014 Ram 1500 express with the black out package. I have had the truck since may and I love it!! But I need a little help. Last week I smacked into one of those plasitc orange work barrels on the side of the road and I put a hole in my driver side headlight cover. I would normally just replace the whole assembly but due it costing around $600 I am trying to find a cheaper route. Here is the question, the black out package comes with factory projector style headlights. Are there any after market headlights that will just bolt into the truck and plug in and work? Everything I am seeing online is that they are not compatible with factory projetor headlights. If there are no after market headlights is there some kind of wiring harness I can purchess to help make others fit? or am I just going to have to pay $600 from dodge? any and all help will be awesome. thank you for you time.

I forgot jj is out of town for a couple of weeks. I have seen single oem projectors for sale on eBay. Haven't looked in a while. From what I've seen if you have oem projectors from the factory your out of luck switching to something different.

This might be a stupid question, but are the lenses from the quads and projector the same? i assume the quad is cheaper, and the lenses can be swapped after baking them...if they're the same.

Try car-parts com. Its a junkyard website that gives you parts close by and nationwide. I use it to source parts for work.
