Question Ram Headlights

Im sure you all know how bad Dodge Ram headlights are. Im curious as to the most cost affective way to fix the problem of the lights being overall dim (I can run my "brights" at all times and never be flashed by other drivers). Im also looking into a pair of driveing lights and wondering which seem to be the best for their price.

This is what I would do:

Switch to 1999-2001 Ram Sport headlights.
Do the headlight relay how to. (in the DIY section in the FAQ section)
Then get some better headlight bulbs like some Philips or Sylvania SilverStar Ultras.

get some HID 10,000K projector lights...its under 100 bucks on ebay.
He wants brighter headlights, not **** off every other driver on the road.

Is your headlight housing cloudy or yellow start with that then invest in a pair of driving lights and put them were the stock foglights mount.
If thats not enough for you then you might want to look into HID's and when you put them in make sure you adjust them right or you will blind oncoming drivers.

whatever you do dont get the 10,000k lights they are a deep blue and the light output is less than the white 6000k which is less distracting to oncoming traffic....
I have the non hid halo projectors and they put out better light than my stock ones do...and way better than my 2004 e 250 van too for that matter...
