I replaced the headlight bulbs with SYLVANIA SILVERSTARS and it made a huge difference alone. I bought a pair at Walmart for $49. They also have them at autozone. Heres a link http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...ce/Silverstar/ . Good luck

49$ For just the headlight bulbs? I could have saved you $$$ Check this link.

But I agree the ultras make a big difference over stock but they are not available for my headlights

1 and 2 are the same, just that 1 is the newer packaging. 5 is only the Silverstars not the Ultras. The Silverstars have a whiter light compared to the Ultras have a little bluer look to them. The Ultra's are supposedly the brightest one's of the two.

Just remember th e lifespan of the bulbs is thrown out the door because they are burning brighter.
I like the Luminics bulbs a little better, but they will only last about a year or 2 topps. HID's will last much longer. The initial cost is a little bit more, but it's much better for the $$$$.
What I wanna know is if Supercar needed cancellor kits for the headlights and foglights for the flicker effect on the Chryslers?????

Yeah I'm curious as well, or if anyone knows if the 04 rams need that or not.

I'm waiting for a replacement ballast for one of my Hellas. I'll take some pics with the headlights, fogs and hellas all with 4300 HIDs. I had to turn my headlights down 5 turns to take the direct beam out of on coming traffic. I plan on a set of eyelids to stop the "scatter" effect.

My mechanic just installed what was in the kit.

I don't know what a cancellor kit is, but there were about three components in each of the two wiring harnesses.

As of today I have had only two people flash me from oncoming traffic but none of the dozen or so LEO's.
