well, lets see..... its says in the ad, will fit ALL rams 94-02, except sports.... hmmm sounds like a 9004(hb1) bulb to me... all it takes is a little reading.

as jkeaton said, you dont like em, seach for some yourself.

 

That's why I'm confused because I have a 1996 sport model but it is only the single bulb on each side. That is why I'm confused on manufactures ads that's say does not fit sport models because they have a dual light setup but on the earlier sport models they don't. So will they fit my sport model?

 

Yeah, in 98 or 99 the sports went to quad headlights, THOSE are the ones they are referring to. Previous to then, headlights are the same, sport package or not.

 

 

I played with HID kits for a while, don't like the projector look on our trucks either, the stock sport housings are the perfect style, but what I found out is unless you use the projector with HID the light does not focus on the road, it shoots straight up and everywhere it shouldn't. Blinding yourself in fog and spray.
It's dangerous for yourself and other drivers you are blinding making you liable for any accident it may cause.
I ended up sticking with the halogen bulbs, added some HID projector fog lights in the bumper, they have the proper cutoff with a sharp line where light shines below and dark above, the way it should be. IMHO you should do it the right way or not at all.

 

Do yourself a favor and get the relay harness. Its a lot easier and will give them a little bit quicker start up time. Not to mention it will take the stress off the stock wiring. I've been running hid's for almost 5 years now 4 years in my dakota and 1 year in my ram. I ran 55watt hids in my stock dakota housings for 3 years. 35 watt hids in my fogs. I got flashed maybe a handful of times in a year. Then I moved up to clear halogen housings and never a problem for the whole year I ran them. I HATE the look of projectors in the dakota. I was really surprised how much I like the looks of the projectors that came with my ram. Granted they are halogen projectors but I run hid's in them and dont really have a problem. I might get flashed a little bit more cause im a 2500 and plus its leveled but really it seems like my fogs bother them more than anything so I run with them off 90% of the time. If you aim your lights right you wont have a problem running them in a halogen light. Also my dad gets flashed more in his challenger with hid projectors than I do in my truck.

My projectors are made by anzo

 

So I know nothing about headlights, halogen bulbs, HID's etc....I was scouring the forums and this is the closest place I could find that would tell me what I needed to know. I find that the current headlights in my pickup are a bit dull and I was wondering if I could purchase brighter headlights but without getting projector headlight assemblies. I guess I just don't like the look of Halo lights on a truck.

 

You need the right type of housing for the bulbs you install, else you become a road-hazard.... (blinding oncoming traffic.)

You can replace the old housing, with stock replacements from AMAutoparts.com for under 100 bucks.

Doing the 'relay conversion' will make the stock lights brighter. (this is one that is in my near future.)

 

Hello Mopar961,

The reason why Relay & capacitors are sold separately is because not all vehicle requires it.

We have the same ram, 1996. Mine only uses Capacitors to eliminate flickering issues & lamp out.

I found this new blog at HIDextra, I bet this will help you and our co-Ram users for the HID installation guide & tips!

ENJOY!! - http://blog.hidextra.com/dodge-ram-hid-kit-install/

 

Another alternative is to do higher wattage bulbs. Thats what I did with my 2001 Ram after reading how our older style headlamps don't do that well, beam pattern wise, with HIDs.

I did the relay trick to draw power straight from the battery, so that the switch in the cab just activated the relay. This took the stress off the already too small factory wiring. Then I used 80w low/100w high beam bulbs, 9004.

In my current 2010 Dakota (traded the Ram in), the headlights are much better with cutting off the beam pattern before it gets into driver's eyes/faces. HIDs work great in it.
