Dakota Headlights
I will say slantsixdan is outspoken
Thank you, that's one of the nicer things I get called. :D
Even my 2012 Ram 3500 had **** OE lights!
The Ram didn't get half-decent lights until '13, and then only if you spent for one of the deluxe trim levels. The Jeep Wrangler
still has pathetic headlamps, and that would be one of the easiest, least costly ones to upgrade, but they move super-slow on it because they feel the Wrangler buyer cares more about tradition than they do about seeing at night. That's not a guess on my part; that's the actual answer I got when I asked the people who actually make that decision.
BUY THE FACTORY LIGHTS!!!!!!!! It is a safety part.
I have this argument all the time. "I want [halos, angel eyes, blackouts, projectors, switchbacks, LEDs, HID kit, etc]", I tell them they'll be sharply increasing their likelihood of being in a crash or hitting a pedestrian and recommend the factory lights, they carp and bellyache about how the factory lights are boring. UmmmÂ…they're not fashion toys, they're life-safety equipment.
Even worse: "I need brighter brake light bulbs because I put blackout nightshades tint on the lenses, it looks great but I need a brighter bulb".
Even worse than that: "I
bought [[halos, angel eyes, blackouts, projectors, switchbacks, LEDs, HID kit, etc] and I must of done something wrong because I can't hardly see at night"...then I have to tell them they won't be able to see at night until they start all over again with new factory lights. :-(
