2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Sport lights, 1500 vs 2500?

[Gary - K7GLD]

Anyone know whether the sportlights from the Dodge 1500's (01 or older) will fit in an '02 2500? There are some on Ebay that I *think* are for the 1500's, and don't want to bid on them if they ARE for the 1500, and won't interchange with my '02 2500...

I just bought used sport lights for my '01 3500, didn't pay any mind at all to what they came out of, they fit and work great. I've never heard of different lights for the variously rated trucks.

Any 94-01 1500 dual bulb sport style light will fit. There is no difference between the 1500,2500,3500.

Will the non-sport lights mount into a sport model truck? I may have a sport 1500 that I could swap mine with.

Yes. There is no difference in the physical mounts for the Sports vs. non-Sports.

I thought I had to cut the opening on the non-sport truck in order to fit the sport lamp??

 

[Thomas]

The headlamp-area sheet metal is the same on all Rams 2000-2002, Sport & non-Sport. The only cutting involves clearance for the inboard bulb base on 94-99 Rams if installing Sport lamps.



Your signature shows a 2002 Ram 2500. If that's the destination of the Sport lamps, no problem. I transplanted Sport lamps into my model year 2000 Ram 2500 - no sheet metal work.

Awesome, thank you very much Thomas, I appreciate you sharing this info. !

 

[Gary - K7GLD]

Thanks for all the info guys - much appreciated! Oo.

Same outfit I bought mine from on Ebay - $218, including bulbs... Now I gotta order a wiring kit to save the headlight switch from an early grave... Oo.

This is the discription of the harness I ordered from www.suvlights.com



"9004 to 9004/9007 Dodge Ram Super Heavy Duty Conversion Harness with 4 relays"

I ordered from Importvision too and got them quickly. Paid $211 and was surprised to get them with bulbs already in them. Come with the clear corner lenses too. Quality units overall.

Installed yours yet - and if so, how do you like them? Quality at least as good as OEM?

 

[Vaughn MacKenzie]

Nope, not installed yet, been too busy

Quality is every bit as good as OEM, at least in terms of materials and construction (can't speak for light pattern engineering)

Going with stock wiring, or one of the wire/relay upgrades?

I've found one area that's not every bit as good. Plan on reusing the OEM Headlamp To Grille Welt. Don't waste your time using the imported rubber. I tossed the OEM welts at Sport lamp transplant and ended up at the Mopar counter in less than six months purchasing:



P/N 55076746 WELT, Headlamp To Grille - Right

P/N 55076747 WELT, Headlamp To Grille - Left

Cool I've been curious as to what this conversion requires and now I know the TDR is an awesome investment!
