Even brights seem dim. Any aftermarket solution for weak headlamp illumination? One year use of 2019 Big Horn. Cannot get used to underpowered lights

I put these in my Big Horn. They work great and were cheap.

Nice crisp cut off and plenty of light forward.

It appears that the good LED lights only come on the Longhorn and Limited trucks which come only in crew cab versions and so add $9,000 to price of the truck.
Another source for LED lamps to also consider

The newer trucks have terrible lights and are so bad that the trucks get a lower safety rating as a result. I was hoping that Ram would fix the problem for the 2020 trucks but the Ram brass decided not to bother.
I recommend Lasfit LED it Underground Lighting as they are on this forum.

Not quite. The Factory LED package is available from the Bighorn on up. It’s called the premium lighting package available as an option on Bighorns and becomes standard on Laramies and up from there. I think the Longhorns and Limiteds have an even better and slightly different shaped LED assembly.
My 2019 Bighorn (pictured above, new) has the premium lighting package that comes with factory LED headlights, fog lights and taillights and they illuminate the road better than any vehicle I’ve ever owned.
I’m assuming the OP has the standard halogen lights on his truck? If so then yes I’d be right there with him in upgrading to LEDs.
In fact maybe you might be able to swap in the factory LED light assembly into a standard halogen assembly and switch on the LED function through Alfa OBD?

has anyone compared the led reflectors to the halogen reflectors?

Same as Auk, but I purchased Cougar Motor LEDs. Same price ($40), very bright.Hmm...Hard to ignore the $40 lighting upgrade. Tempted...THanks for posting.

I haven't had my Ram long enough to ascertain that result. But, I drive it every morning for an hour in pre-dawn conditions. And I run the daytime running lights with them also.Thanks!
I take it you guys aren't seeing any failures within a couple years or so? May have to give these a shot.
