So I did a headlight upgrade on my 1998 dodge 2500 and my lows are actually brighter than my brights. Can someone help me out??? Thanks

It's an led upgrade also.

Did you have to buy load resistors?

No. Plug N Play... 

 

Turn signal no load resistors either change the flasher can. Plug N Play again.

Nice! You still using stock housings? If I get these, I have aftermarket housings. I don't have the stock twist lock rings no more. ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️

Upgraded housing like @dripley but I do have lock rings. 

These are what mine look like.... I ordered them off of Ebay. Company called speed daddy

These are what I bought

Wonder if my aftermarket rings would work with those LEDs. ???

Are those sport headlights? It looks like you have a bulb in the left side but nothing in the other hole. 

No, single bulb application, just like my old headlights. Oh, almost forgot, I was able to swap the wires and get my high/lows to work right!⚡⚡⚡???

If you look closely,  you'll see it's just the reflection of the bulb.

I guess l am missing something in the picture then. I see what appears to be an LED on the left and hole in the middle.

 

Happy you got wires straightened though.

If you look closely, on the right, you can just barely see the bulb behind that center peice. What you see on the left is just the reflection of it. There's just ALOT of reflection going on in there. Lol. ???????

I got it now. The end of the cap looks like a hole. Thats what was throwing me off. I do agree that there is a lot reflecting going on in there.

What brand are your housings, just curious. 

To be honest with you I dont remeber. I bought them on amazon and looked at so darn many of them I lost track of any brand. I just bought some that had a reflector I thought would work. I got cheap ones just in case they did not work. Mine dont have reflectors in the turn signal and they need them. They are DOT and SAE compliant so we will see what safety inspection folks say here pretty soon. 

 

I did see many housings that only had reflectors in the back. My bulbs are COB LED's and some reading I did later said the CREE LED's were better for head lights. Going to get set one day and see. You would have to google that to see the difference. Thats the only way I could tell you is to re gooogle. My brain did not absorb it all.

Thanks

Neither were mine. The headlights cases I bought on Amazon but I tried the crappy HID/Halogen bulbs. Those were junk. SilverStar Halogens are junk (860 lumens). As you can see the new bulbs are 4,000 lumens. These are only 9 dollars more than the past set of SilverStar halogens I paid for. 

Thanks! Mine just came in. They are a lot brighter than the silver stars. The true test will be tonight.

Got them dialed in as good as I could. I always park in my street and walk out about 30’ in front and check them out. Still not super happy probably will just buy some from the retro shop. This pick looks better than it actually is. Or maybe the white light burned in my eyes were hindering its appearance! it’s scattered pretty good.?

What kind of housings are they in? Looks like your are blinding the squirrels pretty good.

Reflector style. From a company called speed daddy off of Ebay
