heyy, do they make projector headlights for the 1995 ram.. u no like the kinds that the new rams have where as the lense is clear and not like ridgid so u cant see the actual light... thnks john

 

I cant awnser your question, seems to me I seen some on a site somewhere but dont know where. I would like to have a set also. Anyone know where you can get hese at?

 

Nope...nobody does. You can upgrade to the newer sport headlight setup...the one with 2 bulbs per capsule. All it requires is a little re-wiring. I've posted on here about it before.

 

Burning Rom is right and I've done the conversion on my 98. I bought the lamps on Ebay and didn't have too much trouble, once I got the wiring diagram from here. Several changes and additions will be needed and you will have a couple of choices to make. First off, you will need to get a 30-amp relay, and I recommend getting the accompanying wiring for it. That will make some of your wiring easier. The new lamps are designed for the 99-01 Ram Sport that has a 4 lamp system instead of the standard 2 lamp. It takes 2 different bulbs (9004 and 9007). Your 95 and my 98 use a 9004 bulb for both low and high beams. On the new system they are used for high beam only and the low beam is disabled. Now, the 9007 bulb has to be wired into the system. Don't be fooled. The 9007 bulb although it looks like a clone of the 9004, is wired totally different and will NOT fit into a 9004 mounting hole.

Some cutting of the radiator support area behind the headlamp assemblies is going to be required. The support was designed for a 2 light setup not a 4 light, so you will have to cut a bit on the inboard (radiator) side of the lights. I can't tell you the measurements, so you will have to eyeball it like I did. Give yourself a bit extra room when cutting "just in case" and to allow for the Murphy factor.

The wiring diagram located somewhere at this forum is accurate except for some of the wiring color codes. A couple of the color codes were different on my 98, but study the diagram and you can figure it out easily and see what the author was getting at. Pay special and close attention to the re-wiring of the stock headlight connector. 2 leads will have to change places. There are 2 ways to do this. 1. Cut the appropriate wires and just switch them. Or 2. If you have the knowledge, you can get the leads out of the connector block and just move them to their appropriate position. Either way will work. I just looked at my hard drive and can't find the diagram. Sorry. I know I've got it, but can't find it right now.

The changeover will take a few hours so make sure you have enough time do it. I've enjoyed the changeover, but found that my low beams aren't as bright as I'd like so I'm trying to fix that issue. The high beams though: OH BOY!! I can light up over a half mile ahead now.

Good luck!!

 

Do you have a close up shot of your truck with them in? I guess I can find a newer sport in a lot somewhere and see how they look. You say the lows arnt as bright as you would like, are they dimmer then what you had before or just not what you wanted? Thanks for the imput on this.

 

Unfortunately, the pic I have posted is PRE-HEADLIGHT conversion. It was taken for insurance purposes. Sometime this week, I can probably get a loan on a digital camera and post the results here. I can tell you that once the lamps are installed it changes the look of the front end. At least from my perspective it does. Sort of makes it look a little meaner I guess. Definately a plus and is a noticable difference to anyone who pays attention to minor details like this.

I do believe that the low beams are a little dimmer than stock. Probably due to the use of 9007 bulbs on a rewired circuit intended for 9004 bulbs. But they also seem to be aimed a little lower than desired. However, I can't raise the adjustment because the High beam portion is set perfectly. If I adjust the lamps up for low beam, it will raise my high beams off the road and make them useless. My simple solution to this quandry?: Either up the wattage on my bulbs (which causes undue strain on the connectors due to excess heat), or just install more lights!!!! Up here in the rural high deserts of Nevada, more light is a good thing.

 

Not a problem I was just wondering. I dont know if it would work on these trucks or not, but I used to have a wiring diagram for my Ford that boosted the Voltage that went to the headlights to make them brighter. Something to do with they dont get the full 12 volts that they are need to work, so they used relays and something else to rewire them. Like I said not sure if it would work in this case, but is a thought. Thanks for all your info

 

Ummmm........................I'm gonna tell!!! You used the "F" word!!! (FURD)

It probably would work, but then again, I generally limit my use of relays to power addon lights (off road, etc.) when I want to wire them into the high beams or some such. I used one when I installed my KC Daylighters into the high beam circuit in my Chebby S10. Works great and doesn't cause an overload to the headlamp circut.

 

Adding a relay in at the headlight would allow the bulb full power without overloading the switch. Diesel guys do it all the time. Just a thought

 

Cool! Now I have yet another project that I must do!! Will it ever end? Lights!! Must have more lights!!!
