they make my truck look so much more aggressive, and they make my regular light bulbs look so much brighter! the only thing is they are a 1-piece design instead of the stock 2-piece, so you really cant adjust the aim off the light beam.

the only problem im having is 1 led on each light is out!

What do you expect? They were $60. I would be happy if they didnt crumble in my hand.

actually yes i expected for them to fully work because i bought the brand new, and the only reason i got them for $60 is because ive been searching ebay for a month.

yes i did paint over the dodge emblem, i think the 2nd gen emblems are ugly.
ive also removed the dodge script from the tailgate.
im planning on getting a giant ram head off a 3rd gen tailgate and mount it on my brush guard

and i didnt think of checking them before i installed them, i was excited to install new parts.

also the seller on ebay is gonna replace these lights with a new set!

Hell, those are uglier than the 2nd gen emblems.

a few things to have in mind. when buying lights to get a decent one they should be DOT compliant, if yours are they should have adjusting screws in the back of the housing. good luck with your new add on

I could be mistaken, but I believe JC Whitney used to sell the "eyes light up" Ram hood ornaments. I don't think they do anymore, so they are a pretty rare find.

Personally, I like my hood the way it is.

P.S. This thread belongs in General Discussion, moving it there now.
