I'll give you a heads up. Most projectors you'd be better off with hid lights.

Get a 55 watt HID kit from Retrofitsource w/ the Proper Relay Resistor Harness!

LED suck!
I dont know why everyone is so obsessed with them, if HIDs blow them out of the water!

With projectors, I don't think there's much of an option for LED's. Most of them will not fit in the housing, the light spread is not good. HID's will be your best bet. Retroshop here on the forum can hook you up.

LED's are good... just depends on the housing they are in. The HID lovers hate LED's for some reason, so don't listen to the non-sense.

Someone posted a video on YouTube installing opt 7 led kit on dodge ram and was able to fit the ballast in the housing.

as already stated, its not in your best interest. LED's are not designed to work properly in a projector....the light pattern will no be right.

I have HID's in my projectors. Very easy install and NO harness because i'm using diode dynamic, anti flicker can-bus adapters.

I was just researching LED vs HID for my '14 Ram with projectors.
Any HID kits you guys recommend without breaking the bank? Also, are the relay harnesses and anti-flicker harnesses necessary?

yes the relay and anti flicker is necessary. More so on a 15 and up but still needed on a 14.

what do you consider as breaking the bank? Jeremy with RetroShop.us - Custom Lighting can get you set up with quality products along with great customer service.

Did you install HID in your dog's too, I was thinking of doing both since I drive with my fog lamps on

actually i put diode dynamic xml2 LED's in my fogs. They are definitely better than stock, however i have lamin-x smoked fog light film on my fogs so that kills the light output some
