Default are the headlight/fog light surrounds tempered glass?

does anyone know if they are tempered glass? they feel like plastic to me....

im thinking about getting these.

http://www.luminicsusa.com/bulbcolor...tanium%20White

for low's, hi's, and fogs. these do require their plug and play wiring harness to use them. he did mention that on the f150's they have been known to melt fog light lenses that are plastic. he didnt say for sure it would melt on the dodge, but just a warning. i have a sport. i think im gonna chance it. the fogs are pretty big actually with a good amount of distance between the bulb and the lens....

The headlights are plastic for sure. They flex when you push on them

60$ for headlight bulbs? I would spend some more and just get HID's.

yeah, im not one for aftermarket hid kits. they always seem to be messed up some how. flickering is usually a problem. you usually never read about a no nonsense plug and play aftermarket hid system... i have factory h.i.d. lights on my 08 grand cherokee overland. i love them..

read some of the posts on this forum regarding the HID's. As a collective mind, all the troubleshooting and kinks have been worked out, there should be no problems with the hookup of HID's
