Default Replacement headlight housings

Is there a decent OEM style replacement for a 1995 Ram 1500? I've seen some on Ebay and other sites but after reading customer reviews it seems the cheap replacements have poor beam focus and stripped adjusting screws, just wondering if there is another option besides the dealership... Thanks everyone!

AM-Autoparts.com. They have stock housings for under 100 bucks for a pair. And that includes the side markers. I put 'em on my truck a couple years ago. They are holding up nicely.

Thank you, there are so many options out there that making a choice is difficult without knowing what other people's experience is with a specific brand...
Thank you for the reply, I've read and followed your advice here on the forum for years now so a positive endorsement from you gives me the confidence to finally order a set...

AM-Autoparts for sure. I ordered a new set of front headlights and side markers for my truck, paid just over $100 plus shipping.

https://www.am-autoparts.com/1995/Do...ssemblies.html


$67 plus free shipping for complete front set.

Good choice! I've had them on my truck for at least 2 years, no issues.

Just kibbitzing here - if you need new lamps tp go with the lenses, I highly recommend these by StarNill. I run with my headlights on, and drive my truck daily for work. After a year, I have no complaints about these at all. I don't even use my brights, these are so good.

Hope this is useful to someone!

I'm also looking for replacements.
The dealer wants $164 each for factory units.

I bought some aftermarket units,forgot what brand but they are awful.

Are the Am Autoparts better than stock,Part Number: AM-32711935 ?
Do they light up the road good?
