yes the bulbs are keyed for the single bulb system, you physically cannot install them wrong. now my RAM has a 2 bulb system so im thinking about trying them again, but id have to buy 4 bulbs to try it out properly . . . . havne convinced myself its worth it yet, not after the las fiasco

Had a 2012, never experienced the broken manifold bolts, but the headlight wiring harness had to be replaced in one headlight and the wheel bearings went at 120,000 from highway driving. Bearing replacement from a local shop (Not a Stealership) was gonna run $1000. I traded the truck on a Challenger since I had another vehicle to use as my daily driver.

How many times have you had the exhaust bolts done? And do you still have stock manifolds??

I put in 2 Lasfit 72W LED headlights with anti-flicker drivers. I had a bad connector on the driver side so I cut it off and hardwired to the driver which had a h13 connector on the other end. I elec trical taped all my remaining connectors to avoid further breakage. The light output is unbelievable! Amazon and walmart have them at good prices, under $60 for the lights. Rated at over 3x the lumens and 30,000hr runtime I call em a steal!

the cutoff was oriented correctly on the ones i had (i dont recall them being adjustable either, but that could be me) so its not like they were installed wrong, the his were awesome, but the lows terrible, do what you need to do just sharing how it went for me.
