Headlights for 2016 2500

[GeneM]

So the aftermarket POS headlights that came on the 2016 2500 i currently have are flickering and I'm guessing that means death is soon for the one that's doing it.
So, i need new headlights and i didn't want to spend more than $500, which ones would be the best under that amount?

I got the Fahren lamps off amazon. Under &100 for all 4. They have a great cutoff line and no problems w/ them for over a year.

Had a set of very expensive LED's in my last truck and these Fahren's are much better for less than 1/2 the money of those super duper expensive ones.

That's just bulbs you're talking about right, i need the housing as well .

Going to be hard (if not impossible) to find headlights for under $500, and if you do they aren't going to be worth an darn. Maybe try a junk yard for a set of OEM headlights?

What headlights are you currently having trouble with? Have a pic or something?

Here's some pics, i think the brand is Dynamik and I've gone to their site and can't find these headlights but I don't think they make headlights for trucks anymore. These are LED and it looks like they are integrated and can't be replaced so you have to buy the whole unit. These also always seem to have condensation in them.

I have a 2016 ram 2500 cummins, it also had ****** aftermarket housings, could see anything down the road. I got on car-part.com and found these pretty local to me, 2 different yards, I know the one looks like filled with condensation, it needed resealing. I chose the black instead of the chrome because I like it better but I got the housings for 125 for the passenger side and 50 for the drivers side

Yeah, that's why I thought he was talking about bulbs only. 500 is pretty thin for complete new assys.

Ok.. $550 maybe $600

Are these the normal connectors for these trucks? It seems what I'm looking at these aftermarket headlights. The connectors I'm seeing don't look right for my truck. Could be there. Just showing a basic general picture of what one might look like and it's not correct for my truck but the right one comes when ordered, I don't know?

About the cheapest set of “good” aftermarket headlights (LED) I’d recommend would be the Alpharex Luxx G2’s, but they’re still around $900.

Maybe check out the VLANDs on eBay, they’re probably as $hitty as the ones you’re currently running, but they’re in your budget.

Rather pay 900 for good stuff than 550 for trash Chinese stuff

In case anyone was curious I ended up going with these and to my surprise they are working pretty darn good. For the $$$ I think they were the best choice..

So now that you've had them for several months now, how are they holding up?
