So I’m going to be replacing my headlights in the very near future. Right now I have the quad headlights with the standard chrome housing. I actually don’t mind the look of the quad lighting but will be swapping them for black housing instead. I see on the Mopar website they are going for about $257.xx for the pair. I’ve looked at many third party sites and although I’ve found sets slightly cheaper (and many much more expensive) my biggest fear is since the third party sets are mainly custom made that they aren’t going to be sealed properly or possibly just pain suck lol. Is it worth buying directly from Mopar? Should I be looking elsewhere? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

If you're getting them for $257 for the pair go Mopar. Take a look at @AllMoparParts.com too

OEM or the equivalent are usually put together the best... especially in the seal department. I've tried some of the cheaper brands on other trucks, and they were just not built as well. Leaks came quickly.

You might want check out the headlights from Modifystreet. There have been quite few people using them on this forum. I added the dedicated DRL circuits to run the brow lights on them, my truck that originally had Quads. Wiring pigtails were from M² Mods and made all the BCM settings with AlfaOBD.

They offer blacked out versions also.
