Well im in a pickle lol.

I have quads and i want to black out the headlights.

I like CCFL halos but most look cheasy and cheap.

Some have DRL leds thank look terrible and ricey.

i found some that are clean simple and no blue leds

The only question i have is if i have quads and i get these headlights its only a single one. Would i be able to do it?

Or would loosing the quad option really be a bad choice.
i know it is ultimately my choice , just wanna see opinions

Cause its either this

CCFL Halo, Amber LED turn signals/DRLs
1. !Bo1ElygBmk~$(KGrHqEOKisEuZjHqP5+BLpBsMft5w~~_12.jpg

2. OR the simple clean blacked out quads. (This is what ive been having my eye on until i stumbled upon the top ones.

JJ is also an option. May be a little more expensive, but a lot more quality. I had a set of halo projectors on my last truck and was not happy with them at all. The halos were barely visible. This truck I'm saving up for a set of his custom ones.

How much are those tail lights man? I want to get a spare set to have painted but I hate changing anything oem in case I ever need to go back quickly.
I'm running the depo black housed quads and have had no issues
At all. They have been in about a week and made it through three hellacious rainstorms with no condensation.

I got color matched led tail lights from jj for 300 bucks I think. Pretty solid price for painted tails I think.

The first heads posted........will leave you wanting more.

The second ones are nice, but (I say this every time), they left TOO much chrome in the turn pocket. Takes from the light.

Ignore the projector in this set, but here is what they look like with "less".

if i had a lot of money to spend i would do all black housing with HID/halos on the headlights and fogs. i saw u do that on another truck and it looks insane!

Nope.

The connectors on the quad and duals are the same. Differences are inside the light. :party36:

I like the second ones, Im thinking of going with the same ones. I personally like the orange reflector in headlights. a lot of folks dont like it, but I think it give the truck some "factory" but aftermarket look. and I hope you get them so I can see what they look like so I'll order mine lol.

The first ones with the halos would make you stand out more, but I can't stand halos, so I'm undecided.
It's your truck. You have to pay for, and live with whatcha buy.
The tails are sharp and will dress up the rear end; sounds like they are no muss, no fuss.

i like halos and the biggest thing that is making want them is the DRL amber led lights and turn signals. I am also a fan of OEM+. so that is what is making it hard

1. Halos= starting to become played out, but you also stand out. LED DRLs/turn signals will match my LED puddle, tails and 3rd brake light, but the price is $120 more

2. I am a fan of OEM+, they will never get old because they look great cause they were designed for the truck by dodge. lol idk
