At this point all I would want in a new set of lights are to have the amber removed and yes brighter DRL.

Makes sense - and I'm sure that once the parts are reviewed, and get in their schedule - we'll certainly have something for that!

No clue.....lol - all depends on how quickly suppliers can get that worked on. Parts are there, but - well.....you know how things go, I certainly can't expect them to drop everything to get them done for us.

Yeah........its a ****load more work to get these out.

I can pop grill and headlights off of a 4th Gen in 10 minutes.....15 if I'm talking. This, first time of course, took us about 2 hours. I'm sure now that I know how to get to everything it will be fine......probably knock it down to an hour?

Need some sort of exchange program. If I could exchange my limited lights for those I can add the laramie black front end on my truck. Not sure what the diagnostic implications would be.

Well......

We've been there before, on $300 headlights. Had a core swap, and kept getting in busted or screwed up lights. To add insult to injury.....the core fee I charged ($300 to cover lights if they came in jacked up) - 3 people did chargebacks on it......nope. Ceased that program, ruined it for everyone.

Certainly not going to do that for a set of $2,000 headlights. :(

As for the lighting, they should swap right in. The only thing that would be interesting is the active control that the Limited has, vs the mid level LED lights. I am not sure if it would throw a code for that.......if so, it may be something in the computer that can be updated (sales code for the headlights).

Why not just black out your grill now?

I may go that route. The mesh grill just looks old in my opinion. And those body color lights u made are killer!

To get the unit disassembled in order to clear the corners was it just bolts/screws with gaskets in between the pieces or did you have to melt and sealer IE bake the lights. I just want to get rid of the amber reflector and add clears instead.

Jeremy, any updates from diode Dynamics on upgrades? That's what I'm waiting on before I attempt to pull these things for you to work on

Sorry, haven't been on much lately.......

The lights have to be pulled apart for that.

Getting closer, and when they are out - we'll have the first set of theirs on one of my '19 Rams....

TY! If you aren't wanting to do it........send it my way! ;)
