Hey guys thanks! Just want to be clear, I did not post this to try and drum up sales, just wanted other gen3 Durango owners out there to see a cool new mod, that's all.

Headlight and fog lights need to be cut open. Fog light rings come in the correct size for the base and attach with silicon. The headlights have 2 rings, the smaller size is available, but the larger size has to be cut down, and massaged to match the curve. Both rings sit ontop the housing and attach with 3M tape. Route the wires out the lights, then seal them back up with some Plyogrip & silicon. We wired these to constant power and put a switch on the dash so they can be run at anytime.

Yeah, we figured somebody, somewhere had done it, thus the possibly part!lol...

We'll try to get some more when it comes back for tinted tail lights and all LED exterior bulbs.

Are these Oracle halos? I just finished up fitting halos in my fogs. Final wiring tomorrow. I always worry about moisture whenever you bake, open and reseal headlights. Looks great though!

Oracle certainly makes some nice gear but are really costly. Ive seen several rides with MD LED rings like these and they always look good. MUCH better than the old CCFLs. I actually just bought a set like these off ebay to go around my Infinti Q45 projectors.

Great job on the install and pics loo awesome

Can you post any pics of the install? Curious how bad do you have to cut up the headlights....

Such a shame. Looks really really good. But I'm not about to go cutting open my headlamp assemblies.

Please do try and post some pics both in the middle of the day from much much farther away and also in the late afternoon when there is less light but still enough to not need headlights.

I wonder how this would look with the Xenon assemblies.

True, but like with most things, you get what you pay for.

Sorry, don't have any install pics, as we've been doing these for years, but you don't actually cut the headlights themselves, you simply have to break the seal between the lens and housing. We use heat and an oscillating blade that slips between the 2 and cuts the seal. Then we just re-seal them once everything's installed. It's not super hard, and if you have any kind of mechanical or bodywork type skills it should be pretty easy for anyone to do. Just have to take your time, and go slow and be sure you get it sealed up nice and tight when you're done.

To confirm, you cut open the foglights and DID NOT bake them right? I've got oracle halos for fogs coming

That's right. Since there is no flat area for the halo to sit on, just be sure you use a good amount of clear silicone or other adhesive all the way around to hold the ring in place.
