Truck came with non projector, quads..... 0ut in Spyder HID's, with halo rings ... have had a few issues... but think it's working itself out ... not sure I'd recommend them yet, but they do look good ;) Haven't done the fogs yet, still debating between adding HID fogs, or just putting in LED bulbs, just not in the mood to deal with relays, ballasts, and resistors again.

Ordered the HID kit from Retroshop for the 2015s for the headlights. Wasn't too bad an install and turned out great, no issues yet. Used the Morimoto XB LED bulbs for the fogs. I used their standalone Canbus with it and hasn't thrown any codes. Fogs were completely plug and play.

DDM Plus 5500k in projector headlights and fog lights.

Installation was simple. The lights look a lot bluer in the photo below then in person. They produce a bright white light with a blueish hue. If I were to do it again I would go with the 4500k kits.

HIDs for the win.

+1. I went the Enlight route for my HIDs on my 2013. Had them on the truck a grand total of two weeks or so when it was totaled. The semi that ran the red light took out my entire front end, including my HIDs, so I had to order another set for my 2014.

I'd recommend the more expensive but far better route of getting projector headlights or having Retroshop retrofit yours with projectors. Those reflector headlights will throw HID light everywhere, usually blinding traffic.

What bulbs or set up are you running? I have the same lights on my truck, but just running standard h1 bulbs, those look great!

Retrofitted myself FXR into my stock projector headlights with 5500 morimoto bulbs, 50w morimoto HIDs, morimoto ram specific HID harness.

Retrofitted myself H1 mini bixenon projectors into my stock vertical dogs, 6000k bulbs, 55w DDM HID ballasts and morimoto canbus adapters.

Light output vastly improved over stock.

Wife got a 2015 jeep Cherokee with projector headlights. Swapped a spare set of morimoto canbus adapters and cheap 35wDDM Ballasts 5000k 9012 bulbs and they are a massive improvement over stock which were so bad I did hers so she would be able to see while Driving. They are the same bulb as the ram.

Pic is of my ram headlights, pics adjust so they are brighter in person. Forgot to mention that all
Are bixenon so technically I have 4 high beams lol including the fogs. Whoop whoop!
