The more I keep looking into this set up the more I'm starting to like it. Is there a write up somewhere on this forum of how to achieve this? A lot of scattered information out there with random tidbits inserted. I'm vowing this is the last time I tear apart my front end to take headlights out.(Bambi basher needs to be removed each time.)

The basic idea is to have the headlight switch (a known problem on these trucks) simply control the low current control side of a relay. The relay would direct power directly from the battery, to whichever headlights you had on at the moment. Not only does this prevent the headlight switch from overheating, and potentially burning your truck to the ground, it also has the added advantage of making your lights brighter.
Here is a write up on it. (and yes, it was fun to find.) It's a quoted posted, as the original post seems to have simply disappeared......

Go to the 3rd post down.
Sounds legit right? I emailed the guy for the relay kit and he sent me an email of the same thing with a little more detail added.
First question that I have regarding the post.
You need:
-a set (left and right) of the '99-'01 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport headlamps. Get
the real ones from the dealer or www.chryslerpartsdirect.com , not the
Taiwanese knockoffs from eBay or elsewhere on the internet. Factory part
numbers are as follows: (and he lists numbers)
Those lights are well over $300 dollars.
Can I get away with buying "replacement lights" like these ones

and THEN
Why are these headlights different, OBVIOUSLY the fact that ones a conversion kit, but why are they different in color?

that is all for now.

I never said it was a cheap upgrade lol but it is well worth the money. I agree with the guy get org Mopar light housings. They are the same headlight, one comes with the harness one does not. I made up my own harness that lets me control the inner bulbs separate from the main bulbs very handy opt.
