So another member posted pics of his "headlight fix". Here's some pictures of my truck freshly washed and some of the headlights in the daylight...and a new pic of my new exhaust tips since I didn't like the stock ones to much..

Looks awesome. What headlights do you have? Rob

 

I have headlights from Retro Shop (link posted there) , check his site out they can do whatever you want to your headlights! Comes w/ a HID Kit, w/ RAM Specific Harness, Headlights w/ projectors. etc whatever you want...Totally worth the upgrade I'll post some night pics below for you...

 

So here are some more pics...

They look like they light things up pretty good. How are they in practice on the road? Do you get flashed by other drivers?

Thanks,
Rob

 

Bro they are completely different over the stock headlights and they make it 1000x better. I don't get flashed a lot b/c once you get them installed you have to adjust the cut off (which is the flat line that the HID's show forward) then you adjust the height by backing up 25' and you should have a 25' drop which sets them just perfect. It took a little bit of playtime to get them just right but when you do totally worth it!

 

I was just curious because I've been using HIDExtra lows since I got my 2010. They put out great light and I almost never get flashed. But the quality leaves a lot to be desired so I'm ditching them. There's no way I can live with the meager light output of the stock bulbs.

Anybody ever see both HIDExtra and the Retroshop ones to compare them?

Rob

 

Well Retro-Shop makes the housing w/ projectors (paints the inside, adds projectors, they do the light work). Retro-Solutions is where he gets the HID's, Ballasts and wiring kit from. Two different companies. I almost went w/ just HIDs, then decided against it and decided I wanted projectors gives better light output in a more defined direction.

Can you post a pic or two of what it looks like w/o the projectors and just the HID Bulbs?

 

You can't tell a difference in the look of the headlight with just the HID bulbs versus stock. I don't have any pics of the headlights on, sorry.

Rob

 

Wow I'm glad I didn't go the HIDextra route then, if it's not that much better than stock...
