Iceman,Hello everyone,
2014 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 5.7L V8 Hemi. I am looking to replace m halogen headlight bulbs with LED for both low and high beam. What brands do you all suggest? Thank you in advance.
Cadiram,My thoughts, when I went down this LED upgrade rabbit hole a few years back, No after market led’s are actually DOT certified that I could find. all of them are (for off road use only) especially bad if used in stock quad housings.
So, I found even with Alfa Rex G2 projector swap you’re just blinding others on the road at night.
That’s With using correct height adjustments anything beyond the cut off was too dark for my liking at high speeds.
So, If one must spend money on this,
my recommendation without starting your own You Tube or podcast testing every LED on the market, save yourself the headache. just switch your high beams out to LED’s on the dark empty roads and silver stars halogen for the low beams.
The new headlight housings have the upgraded style I was looking for.
Side note: Alfa Rex g2 housing swap requires resistors across parking lamps circuit (17 ram 3500.) Alfa OBD software settings wouldn’t fix my parking lamp errors.
Got resistors from Alfa Rex tech support after much frustration. Installed them inside assembly like they should have been in first place, at least for my application/ year of truck.
Other years could have different requirements/ bugs.
I tried a 2014 Ram Sport. It was about 4yrs ago did not come out well. But tech has changed a lot since you might be okHello everyone,

I also have Alpha OBD, so I believe I can change the setting on the BCM. We will see!You'll definitely need the antiflicker devices. I've been running Fahren for quite a while on my 2015 Ram.
If you get lucky like me, the H11’s will be perfectly clocked out of the box. The 9005’s had to rotate about 60 degrees.Just ordered the same set as @ThunderMug95, I'll report back here after install and see what I think
Those are the same model, just different type. I would think they were of the same quality/consistency.As it turns out, since I have a 2009 it's a different headlight assembly with only 1 bulb rather then 2 for highs and lows (is that what people call quad headlights?)... dumb me didn't even think to go confirm my truck had 2 sets of bulbs. My dads truck does have the 4 bulbs though so I'll throw them on his and find something else for mine.
So can anyone recommend good bulbs that will fit mine? I was looking at these: https://www.amazon.com/Fahren-9008-H13-Headlight-Bulbs/dp/B08ZYL4TNJ/ref=sr_1_10?crid=2EJUJQGG73FNP&keywords=h13+led+headlight+bulbs&qid=1671643810&sprefix=h13+led+headlight+bulb,aps,177&sr=8-10&th=1
so after reading all this i'm unsure what my best option would be. i have a 2018 2500 Big Horn with standard halogen bulbs. i don't want to get into a big project and prefer plug and play. What would be my best option for a brighter, crisper light? Not really looking to do cutting and soldering or even changing housings but will change housings if necessary

so which ones did you go with?Quick update, I installed both the H13s into my truck with the earlier style reflector housing and the H11/H9005 kit into my dads 2016. Haven't had a chance to test mine on the road as I've been doing some other maintenance, but they're great on my dads truck. Super bright, crisp and well focused. Plug and play, and as thundermug said the H11s were clocked perfectly, 9005s needed some adjustment.
Sorry I should have mentioned again, I did the Fahrens. Great quality https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0B2DNHQCV?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_titleso which ones did you go with?
