Default Put the Projector Headlights in . . .

The look isn't for everyone, but I think it updates the truck nicely. It sure beats the old yellowed headlights that were on it before.

What kind are they. The ones I am looking at have the yellow corner so they can make new DOT standards

Yeah, these have a yellow reflector that's supposed to be legal. I did use the "chrome" bulb for the turn signals, though. I hate the look of an orange bulb in a projector application. I think these are the same ones that are selling on Ebay and elsewhere.

A word of warning. There is a weird wiring issue with the projectors on the gen2 Rams. The lights "fool" the truck into thinking that the brights are on when they aren't. When you do switch the brights on, they are very dim. It has something to do with switching to a 2 bulb light instead of the stock 1 bulb. I'm going to sort the issue out this weekend and I'll post a solution when I figure it out.

Nice... but I think the fog lamps need the same style too. That'd really pull it all together.

Yeah . . it definitely needs matching fogs. I'm looking for something suitable to put in there. But, I'll probably wait until I pull the bumber trim of for paint.

That sure looks cool man. I'm wanting to get the ones with the black background for mine. I hope you get the wiring issue figured out with the brights and all that, that has been the main thing that has kept me from buying those headlights.
