Get some 80/100w off road bulbs off eBay or similar, they are like $10-$15. paying upward of $60 for bulbs is rediculous

I just ordered silverstar ultras for my truck.
$84 shipped for 2 low beams (9007) 2 high beams (9004) and 2 fog lights (H11)
all silverstar ultras
would have cost me $150 at the auto parts store for the same bulbs as the parts store sells them for $50 a 2 pack where this particular seller on ebay sells for $30 a 2 pack and $25 a 2-pack for the 9004 bulbs (the bulbs your trucks take)
the sports use the same bulbs as your single low/hi beams for just high beams and use 9007 for both low and high. (quad hi-beams)
here's a link to the seller with your 9004 bulbs for $25 shipped (2-pack)

yeah, but yours are $82 for 2 bulbs...
the silverstars are $25 for 2 bulbs...
I would have to pay $246 to upgrade my truck to the bulbs you pointed out vs $85 to upgrade to the ones I pointed out
and I can already tell you silverstars are a hell of a lot brighter than stock bulbs as I have them in my S10 and they are night and day difference.
I highly doubt the PIAA bulbs put out enough extra light to justify a $57 cost difference...
though your factory dodge headlight housings suck. upgrading to OEM sport headlights would also be a big improvement. especially if you get the wiring harness to convert to quad hi-beams like is stock on the 2nd gen sport trucks.

And don't kid yourself, a set of these will get you on par with others on the road; i for one am not a fan of outrunning my headlights.
