Can you ID this HID Headlight?
Hi all,
New to the forum and just got my first Dodge Ram. It has upgraded HID headlights on it, which on of them as a burnt bulb... Can anybody ID this headlight? I was hoping I could find info on what I need to buy to fix it online before I take the headlight out.
Thanks

Welcome to DF,
Lights look sweet btw, for being dual headlights....Well are you sure they are HID's? They look like regular halogens w/ projectors in the one pic you have...Get underneath your truck or lift your hood or pull out your light and see if there is a ballast (the ballast may have the HID manufacture for the bulbs). I am currently running Retro-Solutions HID 55w, 6K bulbs w/ a RAM Specific Harness
Did you buy the truck from a dealer or private seller?

Just found the headlight online:
http://www.anzousa.com/mmproducts/he...ge/111159.html
It says: Projector H.L with HALO LED.
So I guess its safe to say these are not HID like the dealer told me...

The ballast is typically mounted behind the headlight... depends on how much wiring you get w/ the kit.
I'd venture to say those are not HID (think the dealer got you on that one, or just plain stupidity on the salesman's part which I would venture to say). I would upgrade to HID's if you have projectors, the light output it just phenomenal, having projectors w/o HID's is just a cosmetic feature...

Hi, What do you mean by "projector is H/L"? Sorry that might be a stupid question...but I dont even get the projector thing... I've always been a Jeep TJ guy so im not to familiar with fancy headlights...lol...All I know is good ol sealed beam lights.

but projectors have nothing to do w/ High/Low beams... A projector just simply (projects your light) w/ a sweet cut off! Projectors don't do much unless your running HID's... Think of a projector as your housing for your bulb.... the dual headlights (the lights you currently have) run a High/Low beam bulb all in one bulb...
