Hi There, I am wondering what is the best type of replacement bulbs for my 2001 RAM SLT. It is not the Sport , so am pondering all the 9004 bulb types?? Please help,Thanks. Robert in Nevada

 

This is one of the things everyone complains about. There are several threads about different light system mods. The best appears to be changing to ram sport headlights. I would like to mod mine, but hate to spend that much for a headlight mod. Dadgum almost buy a set of roller rocker for what you pay to mod the headlights.

 

in the last 2 years ive used about 5 different bulb types. i like the Sylvania Silverstars the most.

 

I've heard people mention some bulbs that are 80/100 watt, but I haven't been able to find them. Any idea where I can and what brand they are?

 

1: Spend the nickel and change to Sport
2: Get a new wiring harness that utilizes heavier wire and a relay
3: GE Nighthawk bulbs

Silverstars are way too expensive, burn out way too fast and aren't as bright due to the blue glass. Garbage.

The new harness will deliver more volts, hence brighter light, no matter what bulb.

I have a Sport, am preparing to do the harness and bulb change out soon.

Also am getting aftermarket fog lamps.

 

I had those ge nighthawk and i personally hated them...I then jst switched back to the sylvania cool blue...I did run the silverstars and they are good bulbs.

 

i bought a set of silverstars yesterday for my low beams on my 00 sport ram, didnt notice any difference,so i took them back an got the silverstar ultra's for the high beam today , i can tell alot of diff,right now there on sale,reg silverstars are 27 an the ultras are 35 at advanceauto,very happy

 

Anybody with a sport that wants to do something different, I'll take the sport set up off your hands.

 

Hey buddy, if you add headlamps with that much wattage, you MUST relay the system (if you haven't already), and change the lamp bases themselves to a set with larger gauge wire.


Good luck.

 

Sorry if this is a stupid question - I'm new here.

What makes the sport headlights better than my non-sport 1996 SLT?
