Angry Aftermarket Sport Headlights

Would anyone happen to know of any brands that make aftermarket headlights for the 2001 Ram 1500 Sport model? All the ones I've found are for the regular trims and would require a harness or other magic to work on the Sport model...

I just went and looked and all they show are OEM style replacements basically for both sport and regular :/

Oh, you don't actually WANT stock units...... Guess I read that wrong.

I don't know of anyone that makes them for the sport models....

That's what I've found too ;( I have two buy new lights and if I could I'd get something a bit nicer than the OEM Stock lights (I'd love to have 6000K - white ones, just dont know if a simple bulb swap looks proper)

You could put different housings in, just have to be creative with the wiring. Also, I have noticed that a fair few of the aftermarket housing do NOT have provisions for adjusting the headlights. (aiming them) Makes getting your light pattern in the right spot rather interesting. That's why I just stuck with the stock housings. Mine were yellowed beyond belief..... And while my truck is ostensibly a "sport" model, that really didn't make all that much of a difference until the 98 model year, when they went to the four bulb system. (mine is still just two.)

Lucky you, I've got the extra bulbs :/ So I think the best option is to find a good pair and then use a harness adapter or just have fun with the wiring, that or im stuck with stock :P

Stock housings, good bulbs, properly aimed, and the relay harness...... DRAMATICALLY improves the stock lites. Usually cheaper than aftermarket housings too...

I believe you on that 3M haha, I've seen that work on other cars, but I need full assemblys :P I dont have headlights at all at the moment, they were busted in a crash before we purchased the truck. I think im planning on some really nice Halogens because I hear they carry farther
