The first ones look better, but I dont think you can have tinted headlights in jersey.

i have actually seen the second ones on a rumble bee in person and they look pretty sweet...im sure they would look cool on the older style ram too

on my 94 ram i had the black outs. they looked pretty cool. i also had the 99 dodge sport heads and made the high beems into fog lights becuz the 95-98 has the one sealed beem so highs and lows are one.

I have a 97 2500 and want to run something brighter because where I live, they dont believe in street lights, and the deer are BAD. The stock headlights BLOW to say the least, I would love to go with the projectors but those ones in question are really kinda :gay: with the LEDs in them. The first ones look better, but I highly doubt will be better than stock...I think Im gonna have to spend the big bucks on a good set, or just try the first pair and see how they work. I gotta finish my brush guard before any of this, because I know Murphys law will kick in and Ill hit a deer once I put new headlights in. Ive already hit two on my street, and my buddy nailed one a few months back...crazy enough none of them died, no damage to my truck except for a loose bumper plastic, but my buddies Jeep had over $600 in damage.

Stay far away from those headlights with the black reflectors. They may look good, but light output is worse than stock. Black absorbs light, not reflects it.

the color of the truck is black. if i get darker headlights i plan on getting extremely bright foglights that will work with the headlights. i just want the lights for looks tho

Or you could just keep the stock housings, clean them up, and get some high quality bulbs.

Just a thought.....

whyyyy do all the kids on this forum ask for opinions and then ignore them? you could have just bought them a day earlier if you were gonna ignore us anyway

i was leaning toward the black ones and i asked which one people think i should get...most people said the black ones. so i didnt ignore people opinions. i just dont wanna keep the stock lights. they look like crap imo

well since you bought ebay lights, make sure you seal them before you install them

you better find the best bulbs in the history of the world. black reflectors aren't going to put out nearly as much light as even the stock ones.

I know...why would you do that when you could get BLACK ones that look really cool, but don't really put out much usable light?!?!? :nod:
