2nd gen headlights
My headlights we’re getting pretty yellow and light output wasn’t much. So I decided to put Sport style headlights in to get separate bulbs and a better spread of light. I ordered set that looked like stock sport headlamps but they are horrible! Low beam isn’t to bad but high beam give a very very narrow band of low light. They are pretty much useless. I put LEDs in but it didn’t help. Has anybody had good luck with an aftermarket set of headlamps. I’m after performance more than looks. Thanks in advance.

Since my truck is a 1996 model, I found that I needed to alter the fender's headlight bucket behind the headlight to accommodate the new sport headlight since it was deeper than the stock headlight. I cut out some metal with a sawzall and the new sport headlight fit fine after that.
I also added Sylvania Silverstar bulbs (9004 and 9007) in lieu of the stock bulbs that came with the aftermarket sport headlights. I can say that the light output for my headlights has improved drastically with the new sport headlights, new headlight relay harness and new bulbs.

It’s a 2001 and they were aftermarket “sport” that I got from Amazon, don’t remember the brand and I used the bulbs they came with. I’m going to a newer Ram in a few months so going with true projectors is not an option but I still need to see at night. There’s a dozen pick and pull within a hundred miles of here I’ll probably just go with some stock sports.
