Probably not. But without knowing which ones your looking at, cant say for sure. But, 99% are junk and not worth the money.

If you're looking for headlights, http://www.am-autoparts.com/2001/Dod...eadLights.html

I ordered these and installed them a couple of days ago, and they're great. I put PIAA Extreme Whites in them and they're really bright, even without relays.

Amazon.com usually has stuff cheap too

I purchased these off ebay about 8 months ago. Old headlights were yellow, and could not see at night. They fit right in. The rears have about 1/16" gap between the light and the frame on the outside fender wall. Other than that, I would recommend them as a replacement.

I bought headlights and tail lights for my Ram. Headlightswere great and have been in about a year and a half or so. Tail lights looked good, but after about a year, the bulbs melted the plastic on it. Seller replaced, but I installed a different set that I do not like as well, but are functioning well. I still have the replacement tails, but looking for LED bulbs to eliminate heat issue.

Just remember, use of LED bulbs require either a different flasher relay (still cant find the right one myself) or the installation of a resistor in-line with the bulb you are replacing. This avoids the "hyper bulb flash" you see on many cars/trucks. Resistor must be attached to metal due to heat created.

Had a buddy install the resistor inside his fender walls, his paint changed color due to heat.
