Lighting Opinions??

so, i have a new to me 16 ram sport. of course it has the projector style lights with halogen bulbs. in my old truck i purchased the exact same housing ( mopar blackout projector style) and added in the Mopar Elite HID low's to make them amazing. Well im now in the process of trying to sell that setup and just go with a cheaper option of just halogens in the projectors. I was seeing what everyone was running in theirs? what bulbs would you recommend for a whiter look? Obviously nothing will compare to the HID setup. Show me what yall have! thanks!

also here she is!

Question, why are you selling? I feel like it will be a downgrade wouldn’t it be?

 

[MADDOG]

Yeah...I'm wondering much the same thing. Why not go with HIDs in these as well?

 

[rossbourne14]

I agree, it is definitely a downgrade. I am selling to pay off some credit card debt that i have had laying around for some time. I love my setup i had in my previous truck but i just need to pay off some bills and the extra money off these would help tremendously.

I'm running CrystalVision Ultra's in mine. HIDs they aren't, but they are a major upgrade over the stock bulbs.

The factory projectors use 9005 bulbs, no matter what 9005 bulb you use they will never be that great. Converted to HIR1 9011 bulbs and never looked back.

The money you waste on halogen bulbs could go towards a DDM HID kit, I think it’s around $100. Just wait and get the HID

I installed the DDM plus kit in the low beams about a month ago, about $90 I think. I put 9011 in the high beams. The HIDs were hardly more than the (2) 9011 bulbs. I would recommend the DDM kit for the lows vs any halogen bulb. Just my $.02.

Agree 100%. Had DDM HIDs in my '09 1500. Night turned to day. About $90.

so im just gonna keep my current HID's from morimoto and sell my oem projector housings. theres just no way i can go back to halogen and be fine with that after i have had HID's.

I tried the 9011 route in my high beams projectors. and they were still yellow and dim compared to the hid low beams. So I tried a set of Supernova v3 leds in the high beams mostly to get rid of the yellow look. And I was surprised how much brighter ther are compared to the 9005 and 9011 bulbs.

 

[rossbourne14]

ill look into the supernova v3 led bulbs. would love to get rid of the yellow look
