Exclamation headlights or lack there of.

why do dodges headlights suck SO BAD! i put new light bulbs in and it better but not good. i see a lot of ppl on here putting in the HID lighting kit but idk if i want to go that far. So my choices are? i found these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-95...ht_5256wt_1375

I like the looks of those, maybe not on a white truck, but they look awsome. The HID lights annoy the **** out of me, mainly because I worked night shift for 5 years and wore sunglasses pretty much 24/7 for just as long that my eyes are really sesitive to light, 'specially at night and those bright *** ones just about blind me.

That first link are exactly the same as the lights I just ordered. I currently have a pair of lights similar to the ones you were looking at first, and exactly like the ones in your second link here, and I like them except... you can't adjust them! There is no alignment, they put the light where they put it. I contacted my original seller a while ago and inquired as to how I align them, and he told me they were "pre-aligned from the factory". Heh. My driver's side one puts the light about where its supposed to, but my passenger one puts it way to high. I'm a big stickler when it comes to my truck being the same on both sides with something like this, so its been bugging me for quite some time.

That first linked set has adjustment screws like the stock units, hence why I am replacing my current set with them.

As a matter of fact, if you click on that first link in the quoted text above, below the "Quantity" number, you can click on "Purchases" and see who has purchased those lights before. You'll see one person, jason_and_jenna. Thats me.

Sell your truck and buy a sport. Mine work great










Seriously though, maybe you could swap a set of sport lights into it? Mine shine great, and the lenses are even dulled up a bit on the top side.

Mine are the "projectors" and they dont project s**t on the road! Glorified fog light. I'm going back to the somewhat stock set up. In other words, dont go with projectors.
