03 Headlights

[Shadrach]

I know Genos sells good quality products but does anyone know how their replacement headlights compare to the Mopar latest version? They are a lot less money. I need new ones for my 03. I have driving lights but can't use them in traffic. David

Anxious to hear myself. Mine are marginal at best for head lights.....Actually they suck. Looking for something better. Seems like 35 mph is overdriving your headlights

While away at Christmas time I rented a 2013 car and I thought the headlights were marginal on it. David

replaced both headlights on my 03 about a year ago with the Depo brand like genos sells,got mine from rock auto.fit and finish as good as oem,lighting is as good or maybe little better than oem.

One thing I have discovered is that there are different qualities of after market headlight: Standard, Premium and CAPA Certified. See here for an example:http://www.headlightsdepot.com/catalog.php?make=Dodge&model=Ram 3500&year=2003&source=do_search&random=0.7244768976689864

Parts that are CAPA Certified will fit just like the OEM. I once bought a cheap no name exhaust manifold gasket for a Toyota 22RE engine and I had to file out the bolt holes because they didn't even line up past the first pair.

The headlights on my 03 aren't as good as they were when I bought the truck 8 years ago. It would be nice to compare all of the different headlights that they have in your hands before you spent your $. My brother in law suggested a polishing kit for mine and HID bulbs. After doing some research on that I'm probably better replacing my bulbs with Philips Xtreme vision bulbs and new assemblies. Usually being cheap costs a guy $ but sometimes the premium items just have fancier packaging. The better quality headlights shouldn't cloud or yellow as soon I'd hope.

David did you end up getting new headlight assemblies? I've had enough of mine. My hi and lo beams are pretty much the same. My 05 isn't quite as bad as my 03 but it's close. Thanks

 

[NAllen]

yes got the headlight assemblies from genoes they fit and work great!

I still haven't order any yet as I don't drive the truck much during the winter. David

I bought some Spyder headlights off of Amazon.ca. They were $152 shipped to my PO box. Made in China. One was broken on a mounting bracket and the other one the bulbs didn't fit real tight. Not the best quality but cheap. Way better night vision now than before with old assemblies. Napa had lights $122 a side. Decent ones from autobody shop were $245 each.
