I believe you have to epoxy them to your housing.

I'm thinking they should be 115mm or 120mm for the Ram...???

Not sure if you can tell, but they are just pushed inside the headlight in this pic, i guess i could epoxy the one pretty easy, but the one on the left might be tricky, its only touching in 2-3 spots

The one on left, you'll obviously cut a hole through the chrome housing to run the wires through, so that is an area to tack. The other would the top and atleast one other spot. You don't have to epoxy every square mm, just a couple of spots to hold them in place.

I don't know if clear RTV sealant would work or not, but it would be much easier!

It's an outline of light for your headlight. Used at dusk conditions and night for max effect.

Here's their website
http://www.automotivelightstore.com/RamHaloKit.aspx

I remember when they were selling for $99 shipped on Ebay. This was when thyey were first starting. Price is twice that now plus shipping.

It'll be not as bright as before because the chrome is a reflective, black is not.

You could wipe it down with thinner if you haven't scuffed it prior to shootinging it or maybe even just paint it a lighter color or leave as-is.

Dont know what to tell ya.
