Ok, I have a 99 ram sport quad-cab. I have been trying to find aftermarket replacement parts. I have found many nice aftermarket headlights for 94-01 rams, problem is evry one said it was for the non-sport models only. I know my headlights are four way with two lights on each side. I find it does look better than many other lights, but I saw some black projectors on ebay. I want these lights, are the lights (sport and non sport) the same width? I am confident that this would look better than my current yellowed lens headlights. I also think that I could do something with the wiring to make it work.
Has any one else had a problem with replacing 99-01 sport lights?

The headlights are the same size, but if I remember right, they use different side markers.

As for wiring, it will be different. You have to buy a harness to convert from non-sport to sport. I'm guessing you'd have to do some rewiring to convert back the other way.

Personally, I think the stock sport headlights are the best. You can run 4 bulbs on HI or LO at all times. Can't beat that light output in a headlight without going HID.

 

yeah i think that you are right. The projector and aftermarket lights aren't as clean a a new set of sport lights. Really I could get by if there was a good way to remove the fogging on my current lights, Has anyone ever done this before? Also I just purchased a dash cover for $100 has anybody ever put one if these on and does it look ok?
I am sure it probably isn't hard to put on, I just don't know if it will cheapen the look of the interior, I guess it can't be worse than the cracks I have now.

There was just an article on that in Popular Mechanics this month. It's supposed to work well. I use several other Permatex products in the garage, so I don't doubt that it does. For $15, it would be worth a shot in my opinion

As far as the dash cover, there's supposed to be one that looks decent. The one sold at www.genosgarage.com I haven't really heard anything (good or bad) about other covers.

 

Thanx I just ordered it. I will post before and after photos for other ram owners with the same problem, and the same goes for the dash cover thank you for your help, this will save me over $200.

 

there was a group buy where I got my sport headlight conversion from...

i'm sure the source for the lights & harness were in there

 

Steve, he already has sport headlights. He was asking about replacing his sport headlights with NON-sport replacements.

 

yeah, but reading his post it sounds like he had no luck finding replacement 4 bulb sports... that's why I posted it.

 

Actually the group is a great idea, the price is even less than ebays. I am holding out for the yellowing remover I just bought. Also ther are tons of Flooded Katrina Rams down here I could probably find the parts I need at a local yard. Thats where I got my caps and whels from and a set of the new 20's with tires for $200. That was a steal but whole trucks are going for that, people are taking the butback from their insurance and parting their cars. Their are so many of us doing it because we all lost at least one car.

 

score yourself a hemi and do a motor swap!

when you get done cleaning them lenses in your truck lemme know how it goes... it would be awesome if you could take pics and to a good write up in the DIY thread for other guys...
