Finally upgrading the headlights on my 96'

[The_Hammer]

I've been eyeing the projector retrofit that @Me78569 did but didn't want to spend that kind of money right now so I just bought some replacement housings off of Amazon for the time being. These are the ones I purchased: SPPC Crystal Headlights Black With Corner Light For Dodge Ram - (Pair) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JBIAC3W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4l25zb405J5YX

 

Since my factory housings were literally falling apart I needed a replacement ASAP. These looked like they would be a nice upgrade over the factory style headlights and the clear lenses would be perfect for the projector retrofit. The plan was to run these as is for now and retrofit some Morimoto Mini H1's later on but that planned changed immediately after turning on my new lights for the first time.

 

 

These things are absolutely HORRIBLE. You can barely see past the width of the truck on low or high beam. Straight on they do a decent job though the beam is anything but focused with random hot spots and shadows everywhere. Looking at the reflector housing I noticed all sorts of debris that were chromed over, including a strand of hair.

 

I was still debating if I was going to do the projectors right now or wait a bit when my fiancé said "order the projectors, this is garbage" so I did lol.

 

The retrofit kit will be here after lunch and I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl. I'll post pics and let y'all know how everything goes.
