I got into a fender bender and destroyed the headlight on the driver side of my '16 RAM 1500 Tradesman. I'm trying to figure out if I should upgrade the housing, as long as I have to buy a new one, and if so, what my options are. I don't want to spend a ton, so maybe just a mild upgrade?

I'm sure I had the basic halogen housing before... Can the factory, quad projector housings be swapped in? Is there a quality aftermarket housing that is popular here? The one upgrade I would really like to have is Amber DRLs. I had been planning to have the dealer turn on the option, but maybe now is a good time to think about that?

Any advice would be appreciated! I've been searching for hours but I feel like I haven't gotten anywhere.

Now is the perfect time to upgrade them. Here is a thread on one that would be good for you. https://www.ramforum.com/threads/anyone-try-modifystreet-headlights.137858/

I know the voices in my head aren’t real, but man, do they ever come up with some great ideas.

As @Michael stated the modifystreet/alpharex headlights are a great mid priced option to upgrade to. I have them currently running innovative 55w hid's ($50 on Amazon) and are definitely a great upgrade. I do also have and used katana led's ($40 on Amazon) that are just about as bright as the hid's I'm currently running.

I'll third what @Michael and @1500ram12 has said about the Modifystreet/Alpharex headlights.
I have the all chrome V1 in mine and really like them. I did add the dedicated DRL circuits to my truck, so my truck has eyebrows...lol
