HR Tested: 413% Brighter lights For The 09-18 RAM 1500 Projector and Reflector Headlights

[@joerossi4231]

For the Projector headlight that is an awesome and drastic change over stock and beautiful cutoff!!

[@HeadlightRevolution]

It's insane! It's one of my favorite upgrades on these trucks by far. Night and day difference. -Chris W

[@LuisVasquez-pl9wx]

Headlight Revolution, thank for using my truck for this project. I am very pleased with the outcome. Thanks again

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Hey Luis, Thank you so much for letting us use it! If you ever need ANYTHING for your vehicles in the future reach out, We really appreciate your help! -Chris W

[@sausagedoggy]

I love when I'm casually driving and oncoming traffic is 413% brighter straight into my retinas

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Should never be straight in your retinas if aimed correctly 👏🏼

Man bro shout out to this guy sincerely from the bottom of the heart great attitude great help great guy! Thanks brother ! Thanks for the info

[@clarenceboodram1236]

Thanks for showing the lock , through the fender 👍

[@HeadlightRevolution]

No problem 👍

[@mckutzy]

Good vid... I just did this with a buddy's truck. You don't necessarily need to totally remove the grill and top flap to Remove/install the lights... Lifting the flap a ways, and a long extension will reach the bottom bolt, directly from the top looking down at it.. The rest as normal.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Thank you for the heads up, I've always wondered but I haven't tried it. -Chris W

[@SkyNines]

Great improvement on the projector and reflector lights! Though it does look like the hotspot shifted a little with the HID bulb in the projector. But that high beam? Man, that's amazing.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Good eye! There was a bit of a shift there, It wouldn't be a bad idea to aim the headlights again after the install just to be safe. -Chris W

[@p2o8wer]

Knock on wood. Mine has been going strong for a few years now. Not one problem with the gtr system. Well worth the money

[@HeadlightRevolution]

That’s great to hear! They are solid components.

[@scottchester7010]

Well, thanks for the response; but if this video is outdated, than what I really need is a recommended alternative, not just an explanation of why it's outdated, please! I had hoped this this KZbin video, (and the Headlight Revolution experts) would recommend a tested solution to convert my 2017 RAM headlights to LED - and then I could purchase it from your company with confidence. I can't find a high and low beam conversion on your website.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

We can not recommend any LED or HID replacements for your vehicle, as they are not street legal. What we do have as far as LEDs that will be legal to use are the Morimoto XB LED Headlights, and I have linked those here: headlightrevolution.com/2009-2018-dodge-ram-xb-led-headlights/ That will be the high beam and the low beam, and will provide you with an amazing upgrade for both light output and beam pattern! If you have any other questions, just let us know!

[@auntjemima1111]

Nice job guys really good work

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Thank you Aunt Jemima! -Chris W

[@isaiaslivemusica8788]

Do you know exactly the fuse location for headlights onnram 2011 ? I can not find it

[@jeremys8360]

Anyone watching this video, I recommend led’s for high beam. They need to be able to be flashed, come on quickly, and not have a warmup

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Hey Jeremy, I agree with that! I love the instant on-instant off. The GTR Lighting CSP Mini bulbs are one of the only options that fit these high beams and they work pretty well. We have a video coming out on them soon. -Chris W

[@ricardomolina4605]

I suggest quad projector setup. Four lows and instant four highs with Bi-Xenon projectors.

[@jeremys8360]

Ricardo Molina that would be ideal

[@joshrobinson4157]

I wish my low beam install had gone this easily. The pass through connector won't make a connection when plugged in to the OEM low beam connector. I had to depin the pass through connector and plug the pins directly in to the OEM connector to get them to work. The light output is great though.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Did you get the kit from us? If so, That’s very strange. If you have trouble reach out to us, We’re always here to help out.

[@joshrobinson4157]

Headlight Revolution Yes, I got the kit from you. I have been in contact with support and we have tried new bulbs which makes no difference. Low beam works if plugged directly in to ballast not using the pass through cable. They also work if I depin the pass through connector and plug the pins directly in to the OEM low beam connector. That’s how I have them working now and I just have the pins and OEM connector wrapped in electrical tape to hopefully keep the pins from coming loose.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Very strange, I’m glad it’s all working out for you so far. I wonder if that pass through connector is just a little too thick or the pins are a little too short.

[@christophermiller3123]

Now with the newer LED bulbs available lets see a LED vs HID shootout on the ram projector headlights.

[@deanieweenie116]

Would love to see that

[@BoopSnoot]

LED should be used for non-bixenon highbeam setups regardless, as LEDs are instant on-off, whereas HIDs come on too slowly for flash to pass or even most short term highbeam use. For lowbeam HID is good. For LEDs, I recommend the Hikari 2020s. I don't know how long they will last, but they are suuuuper easy plug and play install, and they have a 2 year warranty.

[@asdetailshop]

Which model Hikari?

[@GusgusA1]

?

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Great idea!

[@GTOAviator]

Great video, thank you for the clear walkthrough. I just completed this install, except I used the new CSP minis for the high beams and fogs. Looks unbelievable. However, I'm noticing a strange pattern on the HID low beam. There's a slight rectangular "shadow" on the drivers side low beam. It's off to the left peripheral and almost looks like a bit of the light is being blocked by something. I've looked closely at the projector eye and rechecked everything. Nothing stands out. Any ideas?

[@HeadlightRevolution]

That could be caused by a few things. Shoot us an email, and we'll get it worked out! [e-mail]

[@DF5152]

how well does flash to pass work when using HIDs. don't they take some time to come up to full power?

[@HeadlightRevolution]

They will turn on quickly enough to work for flash to pass, just won't get to full brightness!

[@davidsherill2785]

I have this 55w kit w/5k bulbs on my 14 Ram 2500 and the beam pattern on the passenger side is not nearly as focused as the drivers side. Could be the projector is not in perfect alignment or something else is just out of tolerance(HID bulb?) but I don't get this with the stock 9012 bulbs. Although it is still much brighter than stock but there is a definite difference in the 2 beam patterns.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

That is very strange, Have you tried swapping the bulbs from the driver to passenger side to see if that issue follows the bulb? If it does, Let us know and we will get you a brand new one. -Chris W

[@KingLouis420th]

[@HeadlightRevolution]

[@lrbs6237]

According to bulb facts the best and brightest LED lights are from DDM Tuning and DeAutoLed for less than $200. How do you justify your prices and quality?

[@HeadlightRevolution]

We have tested against many other bulbs, the results speak for themselves! These bulbs are backed by a hassle free warranty and great customer service!

[@gbhrecordz]

What complete kits were used for the high and low beam HID bulbs for the projector/reflector housing? The links in the description aren’t working. Thanks!

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Unfortunately we can not recommend that kit for street legal use anymore, and that is why the links are not working. We can totally get you set up with some halogen bulbs fro street use, or get you some off-road use recommendations if you email us your vehicle information! [e-mail]

So. I have H13s. HID kits won’t work. Any suggestions? Maybe LED??

[@bendeco]

How did you come to the conclusion on 400% lighting without demonstrating with a light meter?

[@HeadlightRevolution]

We actually did measure the light on both the factory headlights and the new bulbs, and you can find the specifications for each in the description!

[@HOOT895]

@Headlight Revolution What HID Ballast power was used for this kit? Looking to buy these here very shortly.

I dont believe any aftermarket hids are DOT legal.

If you are talking about doing the OEM projector housing conversion, you can totally do that on the 09-18 Ram truck lineup!👍 I have linked that kit for you here: headlightrevolution.com/2013-2015-dodge-ram-1500-oem-driver-passenger-black-projector-headlights/

[@wallykozak2060]

The links are coming back "page not found" is there a new link for this?

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Unfortunately, that is due to the HIDs and LEDs not being street legal anymore, and that was a recent change made by the government. I can get you halogen options for street use, otherwise, if you are using them in an offroad application we could get you set up with HIDs or LEDs! I have linked everything that we have for the 09-18 Ram here: headlightrevolution.com/vehicles/dodge-ram/2009-2018-dodge-ram/ If you have any questions on specific products, shoot us an email and we will get you taken care of!

With the proper kit on our website, yes!

[@1nickadair]

Love HID vs LED in Most applications, but never had a good HID for high beams. LED is the best bet but I can't get a good pattern. Your other videos are typical of what I see, the lines and distortion from LED makes it annoying at night. Do you guys have enough influence to pass on a pattern idea to the big manufacturers? Ive never gotten a call back.

[@1nickadair]

Did these guys ever reach back out to you? What's your beam pattern idea?

[@californiaholtz]

I'm confused why you call that a projector high-beam, both of those headlight assemblies are equiped with reflector high-beams. There is clearly no projector lens other than the low-beam.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

You’re absolutely correct. What I am referring to is the high beam on the projector based headlight housing. In this video, I show both the projector and reflector headlight housings.

LEDs are solid in these headlights too, But HID remains the brightest option for the projector based Ram headlight!

[@carloscarlito6410]

Will my truck hyperflash after a few months ? Has anyone experienced hyperflash ?

how are you going to flash with xenon HIDs in high beams when they take 5sec to warmup?

[@KingLouis420th]

You don’t

[@KingLouis420th]

You can precharge them I guess but once they cool down they have to recharge

[@ricardomolina4605]

I suggest quad projector setup. Four lows and four highs. Bi-Xenon projectors.

The same way you do with anything else lol. They still come on the second you hit the switch, just not full brightness.

High beam must be led. And....reflector low beams are blinding oncoming traffic. Negative

[@jonathoncatterson8901]

Both hid

[@jonathoncatterson8901]

And the pattern in practically the same so you're on meth

[@ricardomolina4605]

My answer is get a quad setup of Bi-Xenon projectors. Four low beams and four high beams when you turn them on. Only four at a time.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

You should always adjust your headlights after an upgrade like this. That being said, We have maintained the factory beam pattern pretty well here!

[@sviroussanoff]

Brighter is not better. You would understand that if you knew how eyes worked. Eyes have to dialate at night so that you can see better. The brighter your lights the less you see outside of their beam. You blind your self as well as those around you.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

While I get where you’re coming from, I must say in real world driving conditions this upgrade makes a massive difference in how well you can see down the road at night. These Ram trucks are dim from the factory, This is a major improvement functionally.

[@wantsanewvehicle]
