Default 99 ram Sport headlight assemblies?

I have a 99 ram Sport & need to relace both of my headlight assemblies due to some bulbs melting the insides out. Does anyone know if they make any type of aftermarket assemblies for the Ram sport? Its a 1500 2dr 2wd. It seems like there isnt alot available for sport models. Also any link for billet grills out there?

If you have a 99 sport with aftermarket headlamps please post a pic in this thread so I can see how it looks on a truck like mine so I can decide if I need to go back with the factory assembly or the aftermarket.

Thanks o ton

Jason from Mt. Juliet TN.

I got 99/01 sport replacement headlights for my 96 at a salvage yard. He ordered new ones for me, cost $240.00.

My salvage yard sells new aftermarket parts, and they are currently selling the Sport headlamps for $108 a piece before tax.

Then, of course, you have eBay. $185-$188 for both with free shipping. I don't have Sport headlamps, but that is where I got my aftermarkets.

Thanks for the link. Am I correct to assume that most aftermarkets will not fot because I havent been able to find any the were for a sport? All I see is Ram 1500 aftermarket headlight assemblies but since the sport madel has 2 bulbs im figuring the aftermarkets wont fit. If I dont find any nice aftermarkets with clear corners Ill order the 1s you linked me to on ebay.

Thanks

I replaced my 98 sport assembly (which actually uses the non-sport assembly unlike 99+, but whatever) and I could NOT for the life of me find any. All of the descriptions I ran across specifically said not for the sport model. I ended up getting a replacement assembly for $70 from a salvage yard (vs ~$200 from the dealer). I think you are just not going to find many.

Thanks everyone for your help. Looks like the ebay link may be the way to go. I plan on ordering these in about a week. Just had to buy some new tires Saturday so gotta wait till the next paycheck.

I believe non-Sport headlamps will fit just fine into a Sport, but not the other way around without some modifications to the metal around the opening. Sports had a bit larger "openings" on the inside (engine bay) for the second bulbs.
