Just happen to come across this and thought ill throw my opinion in. I got 55watt 6k Hids for my truck paid 74 for the whole setup and I must say the best investment I have made what a huge difference compared to my stock lights.

 

I spoke with a lighting specialist and he said that I can get 80/100 watt H-13 bulbs for my truck which should make a big difference, BUT the H-13 uses a thin base design which may overheat/melt the socket that it goes into. He said that he can produce an updated harness to accept a better designed bulb, all professionally done. The only drawback is I may lose my daytime running lights. He also asked me if I measured the volt output at the socket to see if I am getting the correct voltage. On my way home tonight I must have hit about 10 pot holes all caused from lack of lighting which makes visibility horrible and unable to see the pot holes.

 

Yeah I have the crappy duals on my truck, but my buddy has the quads on his. Neither of us could see for squat so we went with HID's. They make a BIG difference. You'll definitely have plenty of light.

 

wow, and here i thought the lights on my 2011 were such an improvement over my 03 and 04.

 

Damn I sure hope my 2011 lights are better than my Dakota!

 

Don't count on it...

 

I have the quads on my 2011...they suck....I had a 2006 2500 (the larger headlamps with factory fogs) and they were much brighter than these. I have to add aux lights to the grill just to compensate. Not to mention, the high beams don't go any higher than the lows, just more light..

 

I own a 2011 1500 sport and the quad headlights are absolutely horrible.

 

I have the quads with silverstar bulbs installed on my 2010. I don't think they are that bad. I tend to ride with the low beam/ fogs on more than anything even when i'm the only vehicle on the road. When on high I loose a little light directly in front the truck due to the fogs going out but I do pick up a little bit more light farther away from the truck.

 

Where did you get the dash switch from? Is it the OEM dash switch? And does the fog light bumper replace the chrome non foglight bumper straight across? Or is any modification needed?
