Default Looking for advice on Lighting

Can anyone give me some advice on lighting? Looking for smoked LED type headlights and 3rd brake light for 1997 RAM 2500 Reg cab. Just looking for peoples experiences with aftermarket lighting and if some or any are direct hookups or is there special wiring needed. I have tailights installed already.

Thanks,

Pic's of my redone truck coming soon

Anything halo style is garbage. Cheaply made and a **** to adjust. Get regular housings or do the sport conversion. I'm currently running stock STYLE (2 piece housing but with a clearer lens) from Ebay and I love em. Them and my superbrightleds.com 9004 retrofit and I get compliments all the time and light output is ridiculously better

Here is a halo kit that looks cool. You need clear lenses for them though.

+1 to Stock housings and superbrightleds.com LEDs. I bought new OEM housings for $45 on Ebay and SBL kit for $100. Great output and clear white.

Can someone please explain if the twin bulb housings use the same bulb(two per side 9004) or one for low and one for high? Is this the same for the aftermarket(twin bulb) housings?

99-01 sport housings. Stock. If you don't have a sport truck you'll need a new sport harness.

That with sbl LED bulbs is RIDICULOUS amount of light
