i got mine from hidextra.com (sponsor on this site) Make sure you specifically tell them you have a dodge ram so they will give you the extra capaccitors needed so you dont get lamp out..
and for the fog lights i bought my whole fog light kit from PIAA even though i have the connectors under the truck I did not want to buy oem. I wanted a seperate switch for them and also on some trucks you have to get the dealership to activate the fogs.

I have Flashtechs from Chad at Uniquecoatings but I wont recommend him because of his prices. As the time I was just getting into HIDs and didnt know a lot and thought he was giving a good price on them. What I didnt know is that pretty much all after market ballasts and bulbs are made in chine and are all the same. I paid close to 300 for my 2 kits whereas nor I would spend no more than 120 for both.
Dont get my wrong, they work, But is was the pricing I now have an issue with and know better of.

..... Even though my fog lights are the pencil beam, they still scatter and blind the hell out of you. Even sitting up high in a new z71 it was still bothering me. Couldnt even imagine sedans and sports cars. So for now on I only use my fog lights as if they are high beams (only use them when no one else is on the road).
Hope this helps you out

Do they have a wide beam with a very sharp cutoff along the top edge? That's typical of what a fog light does. If they are more like an intense narrow beam, the pattern is more like you'd see for driving lights that you would use as high beams.

Pencil beams? Almost sounds like you've got driving lights instead of fog lights.
