Hey there for my new night edition ram 1500 classic crew cab I'd like to replace the headlights and other ones with LEDs if possible.

Is there anything plug and play? Something decent , this is also better for electrical? As I plan on putting a sound system in. My halogens have always dimmed in prior vehicles.

All help is appreciated thanks

I used Hikari led bulbs in my truck. They were plug and play and have worked well so far.

I know the voices in my head aren’t real, but man, do they ever come up with some great ideas.

It's only called an upgrade if it's actually better. LED headlights are called a downgrade.

If you buy cheap junk.

Not all led are equal. Do some research. Not all housings are the same. A bulb that is good in one housing could be crap in a different housing.

I am more than happy with the leds in my reflector housings. Proper beam cut off and way brighter. No warm up like HID.

Hikirai ultra from amazon for low beams. Forgot what I put in the high beam. I know I tried 4 different sets til I found a some that fit under the dust cover.

There are a few vids on youtube from headlight revolution that compare like 20 different bulbs in different housings. Find the ram reflector vids and have a look.

Everyone always says "it's only bad if you buy cheap junk" but by my estimation that means 100% of anyone "up"grading their lights so far has in fact bought the cheap junk and I have yet to see this mythical good stuff rumored to exist.

You obviously don't know how to use the internet then. Your *estimation is way off. Open your eyes abs you will see the good stuff that does exist.

Bps lighting LEDs in my ram, major upgrade, brighter, clickable, no glare.

They must not make the transition from internet to real world where we actually drive.
