Hello everyone. I am new to the dodge world. Got my first truck a few weeks ago, a 2010 dakota and I love it. I am wanting to do some things to it such as new headlight housing with projectors. But my question is, are the 2007 housings different from the 2010? Any info will help thank you.

Yeah, the 2005-2007 Dakota headlights will not fit your 2010. One of the members with headlights similar to yours, baked open his headlights and installed projectors.
Read about it here --> HID projectors installed - very happy

Check out the 3rd Gen Dakota section, and we do like pics.

Welcome aboard.

Looks good, we need more red trucks around here. Look around at some threads, especially some older threads, and you'll get some good ideas for your Dak.

I've never seen any. Try checking ebay. That's where I got mine. The Dakotas after 2004 did not get much aftermarket love so just keep looking.

As stated in the other thread for 2009s, 2008 (when they changed the front end) until they stopped building them in 2011 don't get any front end love at all because of the very low sales figures.

The 2005-2007 got a few mods for the headlights. Not a lot but some good ones. 08-11 there are none at all. I even called spec-D and they had none nor knew of any.
