I just ordered a set of retrofits from jeremy over at retrosolutions, should be coming next week. They are FULL HID projectors for the low, as well as a HID kit for the high beam. I paid 800 (with 90 for shipping) This also included a 220 dollar charge for the headlights themselves. You can send a set in if you find it cheaper then paying the 220.

There are many people on here who are very happy with what JJ puts out, so I am giving it a go.

I think for the extra money I am paying for mine, its still gonna be a heck of a lot better then OEM style...
Nate,
when you get your headlights from jeremy, take lots of pictures of them before and after the install. Bunch of us would like to see the workmanship of them and also how they look after installed. Thanks much in advance...!

I do plan on it, you can go right to his site to see them too...

Mine will be a little bit different tho...I purchased a set of spyders, then replaced the low beam with projectors, and the lens and stuff for the high beam, so I can do a full HID conversion there too. I can aim each set independantly not like the OEM lights. The lows will move with the highs there...

yeah i know i can go to his site, and have been there, but it isnt very descriptive of what they`re made from,
i would much rather see everything you`re doing to yours. Are your projector housings all metal...???

I`m trying to locate complete metal projector housings.
I want to run the 55watt HID bulbs, they burn ALOT hotter. (metal will take the higher temps)
Also looking into trying to find mini projectors to install in my OEM fog light housings.

Well jeremy still did all the retrofitting. I will just be doing the headlight and ballast install...Jeremy knows what he is doing tho, if he did a full HID conversion, hes not going to put that into a lens that could not handle it. So I trust him, and there are a few other guys on here that have been SOOO happy with it. So I guess I will see...

Use a relay harness for the hids. I'm running adjustable 35-55-68 watt ballasts and no issues at all. Not even a flicker.

Can the headlights from the 2013 Ram Sport be used on other 2013 Rams?
If so what needs to be purchased besides the headlights?

They will work. But you'll need to make adapters to use them.
