Thanks for the comments guys, sorry I'm laggin on the pics a little bit. I'm getting the relay added to my HID kit today and then having it all wired up. The headlights look great on the truck though. I'm crossing my fingers for everything to be done so I can have the final pics up for you by tonight

About the darkness affecting the lights:
The tail lights are still very clearly visible even with 4 coats of nightshades on them, reverse lights too.
The headlights are black but the lenses on them are clear so no worries about the lighting up front, and yes they are WAY better than my old, fogged up ones.

Got them off ebay for $100 shipped. They come with bulbs and everything.

Okay so heres the story so far. Took my truck down to my mechanic buddy and we were gonna wire up the lights and take care of a cylinder 2 misfire at the same time. Turns out my computer isn't sending a signal to cylinder 2 to fire, so it isn't working at all. Gotta take the truck to the dealer, get a new ECU put in and have it flashed. As for the HID's, I figured out after a while that the guy gave me the wrong setup which is why i was having trouble wiring them up and getting them to work.

Pic's are gonna be a little longer off then I was hoping cause of all these delays, sorry guys

HID kit was a bust, so I returned it and gonna grab one from someone who knows how to deal with Rams. As for the computer replacement its gonna be around $800

Anyways here's a pic of the headlights installed:

You better watch your a$$ in south Georgia if you are gonna use that VHT on head/tail or 3rd brake lights. I know for a fact ANY modification that darkens the factory covers will get you a ticket in two south Ga. counties.

It's the law in most places, but seldom enforced. But Irwin and Coffee counties enforce the hell out of it. I got a buddy who got a ticket for just having a smoked license plate cover...
