RE: Headlight replacement
also not in to the blue tinted lights. too "ricer" for me.
I do like your clear lights though. I bet the Sylvania ST's would light it up just right. just something odd about seeing an old truck with the blue lights.
I don't get in to the auto fads, I like stock or something close if built better but not flashy. For example, if I had to restore a Dodge Ram like people would retore a 1962 Stingray, the RAM would look stock, off the showroom floor (just witha rebuilt tranny
).

RE: Headlight replacement
I agree with you, blue lights don't look right on most vehicles IMO. The Eurodezigns aren't blue when you light them up. They just give the housings a blue tint when they are off. They are white when you turn them on.

RE: Headlight replacement
I don't get why they don't make any aftermarket headlights for the sport versions, pretty annoying. Right now I'm using clear corners from regular ram headlights. I want to replace my headlights as well, so I'll just buy sport headlights and keep the ram clear corners.

Replacement of the headlight was easy. Thanks to those that reply and points out a few thing you need to do and I change mine in under 45minutes. Jason.w thanks for all the pointers and tips. The headlight that I got is the same as yours and also i got it throught ebay. The only thing -ve about the headlight is that you cannot adjust the headlight as it does not come with any bracket for vertical or horizontal fine tuning. Other than that it looks really good on my 98 Ram 1500.

It throws the light out in a scattered pattern, similar to my wife's 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, so there was no need for me to align it. Its got the shield there to protect other motorists' eyes from being blinded, and it puts light out in front, on the ground, where I want it.
