A review and installation video of Third Gen pre-face lift Dodge Ram Spyder Headlights, this was my first youtube video and I am surprised it has done so well.

Hey guys everyone was wanting a link to these headlights

Led Third Gen Taillights
amzn.to/47DtyKp
Hopefully this video helped, it’s been a year now and I still love these headlights periodically when I wash the truck I’ll throw on some meguires ceramic wax
amzn.to/3KebKNd
and I’ve had absolutely no issue with them yellowing what so ever. Definitely a great value with what they are coming to the market at.
The grill with the led lights can be found here amzn.to/3ZazreJ
As for my mirrors how I got them to shine for over a year is with the cerakote wipes amzn.to/3xu2TiT
They are absolutely insane but I guess that’s what’s to be expected when a firearms coating manufacturer ventures into the world of automotive coatings .

I just inherited my dad's 08 4.7 manual. I was just shopping around and found these spider brand headlights. Funny how youtube recommended this to me so timely. But conspiracies aside, I really loved the presentation. Not bloated with product placements or ads, camera made it super easy to see what you were doing. Thanks a bunch man. You literally have *the* two upgrades I have in my Amazon cart

Nice Vid!!! I’ve had these on my Ram for 3 years now. I still think they’re the best looking for a 3rd Gen. I see a few comments about adjusting them. They have adjusting bolt on them, but are impossible to reach when installed. I ended up drill a hole in to my inner fender, to line up with the adjustment bolts. Using a nut driver I cab adjust mine while installed. I also have 55W HID installed and use a DRL module for keep the led independent from the other lights. These lights a huge upgrade of the OEM ones. I can finally see at night!!

I have the same headlights in my 2004 RAM. I immediately put in LED lights. That's the point I went down the rabbit hole. From wiring them up, to adjusting them, to clearing out the area behind the led fan housing so they don't interfere. Still fiddling with them. They look awesome, but I can't really recommend them just because of the how difficult the headlights are adjusted.

My Spyder Headlight were great for 2 years then the diodes burned up on the wiring harness thus causing the low beam to no longer work on the driver side. Contacted Spyder to get new replacement harness and they don't make them. So I had to cut the heat shrink to get the diode info and order my own. In the mean time my car was down for 5 days until the diode parts came in. After repairing the drive headlight, I notice that on the passenger side headlight the outer white halo has partial burned out. Again contact spyder for the rectangular halo replacement as the halo is not lit all the way to the end anymore, its dark for about 3 inches before use see the remaining led lights lit. And of course no halo replacement parts to repair my headlight assembly. 2 years ago I paid 175 for my headlight assembly today they are now 300 to 400. I'm thinking of going back to oem as there are plenty of new light assemblies for my Durango. But to spend 300 or more and can't get replacement parts to repair the Spyder assemblies is just not worth the money if they are only going to last 2 to 3 years before they start to fail. I just cant see spending that kind of dough every 3 years. Anyway this is what I have gone through with my assemblies. I hope this helps someone before buying them.

I’m wondering if they changed manufacturers, I’ve honestly not had a single issue and I’m not associated with the company in any way, I wish I was given the traction the video randomly got but yeah I’ve not had any issues yet, maybe it’s environmental or location specific issue idk. How bad off are the harnesses? Could you steal the connector and wire it up yourself? Match the part number for the diode railing and grab one off eBay I know it’s more trouble then it’s prob worth but if you’re anything Like be and constantly broke any money I can save by fixing it myself I will. But I definitely appreciate you swinging by and checking out the video and taking the time to write out your response, it definitely took a minute to write all that out so I do appreciate it! Hope you get them sorted! Have a great rest of your week 👍🏻 -Dr.SidewayZ

I also put on some Spyder Headlights on my Ram just over a year ago. Similar to those and after 1 year, the coating is starting to flake off already on the tops of them. Pretty disapinted in that. I hope in another year they dont start getting that cloudy/faded look. Love the looks of them but durability might be lacking.

Hey good video, however when I wired my led the way you said they would only come on when the headlights were turned on. So during the day you had nothing… in Canada it law to have day time running lights and since my truck came from Texas I need them to turn on with ignition. Sooo I ran a circuit from the fuse box that I jumped off the cigarette lighter fuse and then I got the result I wanted.. great video though thanks

Definitely exceeds my expectations I have no yellowing on the lens which I was expecting but when I wash the truck I do wipe them down with meguires spray ceramic wax so that’s prob why.

Quick question! On my headlights when I unlock and lock my truck the white led bar lights up as well and they serve as turn signals. But they don’t run as a daytime light. Is there two ways to wire these headlights?

It sounds like you have them wired to the turn signal power wire and not the parking light power wires. Check your wiring

To make a long story short I found it on Facebook market place it was a private dealership basically in the dead center of North Carolina, was listed needing a trans went and looked at it drove it it had the sporadic 3rd to 2nd shift issue, bought it nursed it home got to looking and it had a brand new trans in it, started looking around and whoever installed the trans broke the trans harness and it was intermittently shorting out the tcm, fixed the harness and it’s been as good as new. Guess I lucked up!

Did you deviate any in the wiring? What year is your truck? Unless a bulb is out or you’re running led it should blink normal.

Hey Fuel And Freedom! First off welcome to the channel! Long story short I found it with what appeared to be transmission issues turns out it had a new trans but they damaged the wiring on the drivers side of the trans installing it. I appreciate your comment and your viewership. If there is something you would want me to turn out video wise just let me know! Im always looking for further content ideas! Have a Good evening! -DrSideWayZ

Used car lot had one posted on fb market place needing a transmission, it would run in 1st & 2nd,had transmission faults went and looked at it and bought it drove it back 143 long miles creeping in 2nd, got back to the house was going to pull the engine and put it in my humvee however I started looking it over and noticed it had a new transmission, I ordered the transmission solenoids, and accumulator valves replaced them all and the switches, same issue persisted, started to rip it out and noticed the wiring harness on the drivers side near the tail shaft of the trans the insulation was cracked up pretty badly, I started looking wt it more and found four wires shorted together, resin Ed the connector and did a wiring overlay, cleared the faults and the truck runs fine now.
