Note: This video is for educational purposes only and may show street-use content with products that may not be DOT compliant for use on public roads. The video is not intended to imply vehicle-specific street legality. LED and HID bulbs are street legal in the USA for fog light use and not in low beam or high beam headlights because they are not compliant with DOT / FMVSS108. When looking for on-road-use headlight upgrades we recommend DOT-compliant headlight housings, not bulb replacements. Certain specialty vehicles strictly limited to off-street use and not having DOT registration or license plates may use these products exclusively off-streets.

We Do Lighting Better Because We Test! - Авто та транспорт
For the Projector headlight that is an awesome and drastic change over stock and beautiful cutoff!!
It's insane! It's one of my favorite upgrades on these trucks by far. Night and day difference. -Chris W
Man bro shout out to this guy sincerely from the bottom of the heart great attitude great help great guy! Thanks brother ! Thanks for the info
Great improvement on the projector and reflector lights! Though it does look like the hotspot shifted a little with the HID bulb in the projector. But that high beam? Man, that's amazing.
Good eye! There was a bit of a shift there, It wouldn't be a bad idea to aim the headlights again after the install just to be safe. -Chris W
I love when I'm casually driving and oncoming traffic is 413% brighter straight into my retinas
Should never be straight in your retinas if aimed correctly 👏🏼
Thanks for showing the lock , through the fender 👍
No problem 👍
Good vid...
I just did this with a buddy's truck.
You don't necessarily need to totally remove the grill and top flap to Remove/install the lights...
Lifting the flap a ways, and a long extension will reach the bottom bolt, directly from the top looking down at it.. The rest as normal.
Thank you for the heads up, I've always wondered but I haven't tried it. -Chris W
Nice job guys really good work
Thank you Aunt Jemima! -Chris W
Headlight Revolution, thank for using my truck for this project. I am very pleased with the outcome. Thanks again
Hey Luis, Thank you so much for letting us use it! If you ever need ANYTHING for your vehicles in the future reach out, We really appreciate your help! -Chris W
sharp looking truck bud !
wildmanjeff42 Thanks man. It’s a work in progress
Luis Vasquez beautiful truck bro !
Knock on wood. Mine has been going strong for a few years now. Not one problem with the gtr system. Well worth the money
That’s great to hear! They are solid components.
Great video, thank you for the clear walkthrough. I just completed this install, except I used the new CSP minis for the high beams and fogs. Looks unbelievable. However, I'm noticing a strange pattern on the HID low beam. There's a slight rectangular "shadow" on the drivers side low beam. It's off to the left peripheral and almost looks like a bit of the light is being blocked by something. I've looked closely at the projector eye and rechecked everything. Nothing stands out. Any ideas?
That could be caused by a few things. Shoot us an email, and we'll get it worked out! Sales@HeadlightRevolution.com
Well, thanks for the response; but if this video is outdated, than what I really need is a recommended alternative, not just an explanation of why it's outdated, please! I had hoped this this UA-cam video, (and the Headlight Revolution experts) would recommend a tested solution to convert my 2017 RAM headlights to LED - and then I could purchase it from your company with confidence. I can't find a high and low beam conversion on your website.
We can not recommend any LED or HID replacements for your vehicle, as they are not street legal. What we do have as far as LEDs that will be legal to use are the Morimoto XB LED Headlights, and I have linked those here: headlightrevolution.com/2009-2018-dodge-ram-xb-led-headlights/
That will be the high beam and the low beam, and will provide you with an amazing upgrade for both light output and beam pattern! If you have any other questions, just let us know!
I wish my low beam install had gone this easily. The pass through connector won't make a connection when plugged in to the OEM low beam connector. I had to depin the pass through connector and plug the pins directly in to the OEM connector to get them to work. The light output is great though.
Did you get the kit from us? If so, That’s very strange. If you have trouble reach out to us, We’re always here to help out.
Headlight Revolution Yes, I got the kit from you. I have been in contact with support and we have tried new bulbs which makes no difference. Low beam works if plugged directly in to ballast not using the pass through cable. They also work if I depin the pass through connector and plug the pins directly in to the OEM low beam connector. That’s how I have them working now and I just have the pins and OEM connector wrapped in electrical tape to hopefully keep the pins from coming loose.
Very strange, I’m glad it’s all working out for you so far. I wonder if that pass through connector is just a little too thick or the pins are a little too short.
@Headlight Revolution
What HID Ballast power was used for this kit? Looking to buy these here very shortly.
We used 55watt kits in this video!
What complete kits were used for the high and low beam HID bulbs for the projector/reflector housing? The links in the description aren’t working. Thanks!
Unfortunately we can not recommend that kit for street legal use anymore, and that is why the links are not working. We can totally get you set up with some halogen bulbs fro street use, or get you some off-road use recommendations if you email us your vehicle information! Sales@HeadlightRevolution.com
I have this 55w kit w/5k bulbs on my 14 Ram 2500 and the beam pattern on the passenger side is not nearly as focused as the drivers side. Could be the projector is not in perfect alignment or something else is just out of tolerance(HID bulb?) but I don't get this with the stock 9012 bulbs. Although it is still much brighter than stock but there is a definite difference in the 2 beam patterns.
That is very strange, Have you tried swapping the bulbs from the driver to passenger side to see if that issue follows the bulb? If it does, Let us know and we will get you a brand new one. -Chris W
I really like your youtube channel. Can you please advise me what's the best upgrade for my 2018 kia optima lx plus. I have one projector headlight and reflective high beam. Can you please help me to brighten my road. Thank you in advance and all the best with your channel.
Send us an email at Sales@HeadlightRevolution.com and we will go over a couple of good options with you for that vehicle!
What’s recommended LED for 2007 Silverado classic (old body style) it’s a very tight fit for anything
There are a few good options for that tricky headlight, Send us an email to Sales@HeadlightRevolution.com and we will show you some options.
Do you know exactly the fuse location for headlights onnram 2011 ? I can not find it
What HID upgrade do you recommend that is DOT approved for headlight use??
I dont believe any aftermarket hids are DOT legal.
Love HID vs LED in Most applications, but never had a good HID for high beams. LED is the best bet but I can't get a good pattern. Your other videos are typical of what I see, the lines and distortion from LED makes it annoying at night. Do you guys have enough influence to pass on a pattern idea to the big manufacturers? Ive never gotten a call back.
How did you come to the conclusion on 400% lighting without demonstrating with a light meter?
We actually did measure the light on both the factory headlights and the new bulbs, and you can find the specifications for each in the description!
Now with the newer LED bulbs available lets see a LED vs HID shootout on the ram projector headlights.
Would love to see that
LED should be used for non-bixenon highbeam setups regardless, as LEDs are instant on-off, whereas HIDs come on too slowly for flash to pass or even most short term highbeam use. For lowbeam HID is good. For LEDs, I recommend the Hikari 2020s. I don't know how long they will last, but they are suuuuper easy plug and play install, and they have a 2 year warranty.
Which model Hikari?
?
Great idea!
My question is that can u use the projector headlights on a 2009 Dodge Ram?
If you are talking about doing the OEM projector housing conversion, you can totally do that on the 09-18 Ram truck lineup!👍 I have linked that kit for you here: headlightrevolution.com/2013-2015-dodge-ram-1500-oem-driver-passenger-black-projector-headlights/
Anyone watching this video, I recommend led’s for high beam. They need to be able to be flashed, come on quickly, and not have a warmup
Hey Jeremy, I agree with that! I love the instant on-instant off. The GTR Lighting CSP Mini bulbs are one of the only options that fit these high beams and they work pretty well. We have a video coming out on them soon. -Chris W
I suggest quad projector setup. Four lows and instant four highs with Bi-Xenon projectors.
Ricardo Molina that would be ideal
So. I have H13s. HID kits won’t work. Any suggestions? Maybe LED??
Shoot us an email at Sales@headlightrevolution.com and we can assist you.
According to bulb facts the best and brightest LED lights are from DDM Tuning and DeAutoLed for less than $200. How do you justify your prices and quality?
We have tested against many other bulbs, the results speak for themselves!
These bulbs are backed by a hassle free warranty and great customer service!
Where can I buy these bulbs for my 2010 Ram 1500?
Here you go.

The links are coming back "page not found" is there a new link for this?
Unfortunately, that is due to the HIDs and LEDs not being street legal anymore, and that was a recent change made by the government. I can get you halogen options for street use, otherwise, if you are using them in an offroad application we could get you set up with HIDs or LEDs!

Do you think I'm going to need a canceller kit for my 2012 Dodge ram 1500 to install my hid
With an HID kit you will not need one on your 2012.
@@HeadlightRevolution ok thank you..🤙🏽
Price on these?
I'm confused why you call that a projector high-beam, both of those headlight assemblies are equiped with reflector high-beams. There is clearly no projector lens other than the low-beam.
You’re absolutely correct. What I am referring to is the high beam on the projector based headlight housing. In this video, I show both the projector and reflector headlight housings.
Time to tailgate in a LIFTED DODGE RAM TRUCK
Why are we tailgating? haha
Will my truck hyperflash after a few months ? Has anyone experienced hyperflash ?
You should not see anything like that down the road, these are meant to function in that vehicle like the factory lights!👍
How about using LED's rather than HID's
LEDs are solid in these headlights too, But HID remains the brightest option for the projector based Ram headlight!
how are you going to flash with xenon HIDs in high beams when they take 5sec to warmup?
You don’t
You can precharge them I guess but once they cool down they have to recharge
I suggest quad projector setup. Four lows and four highs. Bi-Xenon projectors.
The same way you do with anything else lol. They still come on the second you hit the switch, just not full brightness.
wantsanewvehicle negative. They hardly shine until at least 3-5 seconds after engaging
I have been installing leds on projectors since 2016 and these are one of the worst projectors I have ever worked on 😆
It is a pain lol
$340 per kit. Are you nuts?
I need help ...
What about programming ?
The GTR Lighting ballast uses CANBUS integrated technology, so no programming needed!
Why not test some cars not all people have a truck or suv?
Headlight Revolution caters mostly to trucks if you look at their videos. But they can recommend stuff for regular cars if you contact them.
@@ricardomolina4605 2015 ford fusion has dust covers for low beams
We can probably help you out with your fusion, Send us an email! Sales@HeadlightRevolution.com
I called them for recommendations for my 2020 altima and they basically told me they don't test cars. I thought there was a book that they made that had bulb recommendations in it lol..
We are doing our best to test as much as possible. Admittedly, We do mostly SUVs and Trucks. That being said, We help people with cars enough that we get a fair amount of experience with them. Since your car is so new, We probably haven’t had many customers call in looking for Altima help yet!
Don’t buy this kit the GTR6000k 35w HID kit does not work. $370. It not worth $10.
If you have issues with your kit please make sure to reach out to our customer service team so we can try to help solve these issues for you!

High beam must be led. And....reflector low beams are blinding oncoming traffic. Negative
Both hid
And the pattern in practically the same so you're on meth
My answer is get a quad setup of Bi-Xenon projectors. Four low beams and four high beams when you turn them on. Only four at a time.
You should always adjust your headlights after an upgrade like this. That being said, We have maintained the factory beam pattern pretty well here!
Okay, very frustrating. Your "experienced expert" recommendations for the above products were a not credible and a waste of my time for my 2017 Ram Limited with projector headlights! I tried for the past hour to order your recommended GTR Ultra2 and GTR CSP Mini from YOUR website and find the CSP mini is NOT STREET LEGAL, and the Ultra 2 is not available as an option for my vehicle. If you're gunna post an authoritative UA-cam about products than keep up with it! Makes me want to find another subject matter expert .....and source!
Hey there, thank you for commenting! That video was released before the laws changed, so that is why it seems like they are legal in the video. I am sorry to say that they are not street legal technically, but what you do with them is completely up to you! If you have any other questions, let us know! We are here to help!
Brighter is not better. You would understand that if you knew how eyes worked. Eyes have to dialate at night so that you can see better. The brighter your lights the less you see outside of their beam. You blind your self as well as those around you.
While I get where you’re coming from, I must say in real world driving conditions this upgrade makes a massive difference in how well you can see down the road at night. These Ram trucks are dim from the factory, This is a major improvement functionally.
@Eddie Eaves lol!
