Brite Box

Yes and yes and yes. Do a search on Brite Box and you'll find it.

Hey guys, what is a brite box? Is it something that allows you to keep your high, low and fog lights on all at one time, like when you hold the lever all the way back? Also where can you buy one of these? Thanks

I've been putting up with my '03 since new, have the Brite Box, etc. , but nothing works well for down-the-road seeing because the reflector is the problem. Thanks a bunch.

If you don't drive in the fog much, you could try this mod.

I replaced the stock fog light bulbs with SilverStar Ultra 9005's OSRAM SYLVANIA - SilverStar and they work very well for a short distance, I am looking for that same kind of lighting down the road. I even changed out the stock headlight bulbs to Silver Stars and still the light is not as bright white as I get with the 9005's. I have the Bright Box but right now the Fog lights don't stay on with the high beams so something isn't right... it's like I actually loose some lighting when I switch to high beams because the fogs are going off. The distance of the brights beyond the dims is pretty pathetic.

The Hella high beams go waay down the road.

Hellas

Yes, Matt400, but don't you have to mount them high up, or on light bars?

 

[Matt400]

I know on my 4x4 they set higher than many sports cars. The aimer we use in the shop is good down to 22" off the ground.

Running them in the bumper will produce a considerable amount of light on the road up close but adjusted proper they shine much farther than the oem high beams do.

Hella lights

So precisely where are they mounted to shine that far down the road?

I installed some 2x6 KC lights in that space. They work pretty well, especially if you change out the stock 55 watt bulbs for 100 watters.

They are mounted in the hole where the fogs once were, they are fully adjustable and are aimed using aiming equipment same as you would for the oem headlamps and are aimed as a high beam lamp.

I haven't done it yet, but I do know that you don't remove the lens. The whole headlight housing has to come out, as I understand it.



You can go to "The Premiere website for Hemi Ram and Hemi SUVs. " and download the complete service manual for your truck. Look half-way down the left frame.

You don't remove the lense... you change the bulb from the back side of the assembly. On my truck you raise the hood and remove the obvious torx screws for each headlight assembly then you remove a rubber plug on the forward side of each wheel well and remove a single screw. Be careful you don't drop the screw as it can disappear in some pretty hard to get to places. The headlight assembly then pulls out straight forward, you have to give it a pretty good tug. Remove the plug and wires from the back of the bulb, remove and replace the bulb and put it back together. DO NOT touch the glass on the bulb(s), if you do carefully clean with alcohol.
