06s have have great headlights? Surely that's a joke is a typo

Mine '06 headlights are great as well, no joking...

I think some people are just night blind and it is not the truck at all

I resemble that remark

The headlights on my 06 Fourunner are great. The 06 and forward Dodges may be good also. My 97 & my 04 SUCK! Short down the road visibility.

My headlights are great since i installed HID's. I absolutely love them. I can actually see at night now and i have had them in for over a month now and i haven't had any problems at all with people flashing their brights at me. Got the whole kit, bulbs, harness, ballasts, and relay delivered to my door for $84. Oh and that's for the hi/low kit and lifetime warranty bulbs, if one bulb burns out you send the pair back and they send you a new pair.

Timeless: Sounds great! Where did you get them??

My '03 has 108,000 miles on it and I installed the Brite Box, which keeps the fogs and headlights on bright together. Now get this: for the last 50,000 miles I have run with my lights on BRIGHT and not a single driver has blinked at me to dim 'em. That's proof enough to me that the '03 headlight reflector has a design fault built into it that even the brightest headlight can't fix. I gave up complaining about it because nobody at the dealership or manufacturer would listen to me. I think they knew it, just didn't know what to do about it. Oh, did I say my next vehicle won't be a Dodge? Love the engine, love the ride and quietness, but the headlights SUCK at night! (Man, did I really say that? Sorry, mom... wherever you are. )

My 06's lights are way better than the 97's. Our new-to-us 05 Mini puts them both to shame. It has xenon hid's that are awesome. Living in Nevada where there is a lot of two lane highway, the ability to get the most light on the road is good. There are areas where the light just seems to get absorbed into the night. It's weird.

Doesn't make much sense.

If oncoming drivers don't flash their high beams at you your headlights are probably set too low.

You have an '03. Everyone knows that beginning in '06 Dodge Rams have excellent headlights. So you won't buy another Dodge?

Its your money and your choice. I recommend a Furd. That will give you the opportunity to learn what a truck with problems is like.

I just bought couple of relays and tapped into the high beam wire for the feed for the relays and one runs my fog lights, and one runs the off road lights. So when I put the high beams on, the fog and offroad lights come on. I did run wires to the cab and put in two switches so that I can override this funtion if I want. $23. 00.

Does it use the same reflectors that the original lights used? It is my understanding that hid's need their own reflectors because of the way the bulb produces the light. It is, if I recall correctly, more of a "tube" of light as opposed to just a filiment. I looked into hid's for my 06 and for the whole setup, it was cost prohibitive. I'll check your link, though, and see what it says. I might be interested.

I installed HIDs in my '03 about a month ago (4 resistors, two ballast and high low controller) and they were VERY BRIGHT, so much so that I was blinding oncoming traffic. Stock bulbs are back in. The shape of the reflector is not designed for HIDs, it turned my headlights into flood lights. Just M2C...

You probably need to re-aim your headlights. I get flashed with just the low beams on and my 05 has the same lens as your 03.



The 06+ are much better, but the brite box on the 03-05 is pretty good. An 03-05 without fogs would be horrible thou.
