So a slim would probably be best? And they're 10 bucks cheaper

actually the slim is just slimmer than the normal one, no power gain, its just for tight spaces, or if you want extra room.


go figure that its just slimmer

So should I go with the slimmer ones for more room? Just so it's not sooo cramped
Also do I buy 2 of them one for heads and one for fogs?

you order 2 sets, like you said, i would do one normal (heads) and a slim (fogs), reason being is because right where the headlight is, there is a cross beam, use that, and I'm not sure about the fogs, i haven't done mine yet

Psst... JJ will hook you up with some projectors that'll make sure you don't blind other drivers headed towards you... just a hint to preserve a fellow ram owner. :)

a projector is like the headlights on a benz, audi, high class cars, and if you want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen with burned hands, then you can do it. i did it myself, and i love my work, but if you want headlights that you know will be perfect, talk to jj our preferred vendor, he's the headlight mad man.
