im looking to get a set to go in my 96.from what i can find out on here the depo brand is decent quality,and an earlier[very earlier]post listed discount dodge parts as about the cheapest.are all these lights basically the same on the various years[99 to 02]and do all the sport lights use one 9004 and one 9007? any input will be appreciated on this!!!!!!

From what I understand all sport lights are the same through out the years. You will have to make a wiring harness with relays for the new lights or risk melting you headlight switch. There is a bit of trimming of sheet metal behind the headlight bucket to fit sport lights on older trucks.

They are normally one 9004 and one 9007. I have always wondered how they would work with two 9007 instead. 9004 is 45 watts on low where as 9007's are 55 watts low beam. Pretty sure the high beam is a higher output as well. The filiments are orientated differently in the two bulbs so not sure how that would work with the reflectors in the headlight. Might have to try it whenever I get around to getting a set of sport lights.

I got a wiring diagram in my galleries. I got a set but not quite wired right yet. I'm being lazy.

That is a good diagram, should help when wiring up lights. I would also add a fuse before the relays though.

Yea I kinda forgot to add the fuses in the diagram. I got that switched low beam from HERE I just had to go into the FSM and apply it to the Ram. Hope it helps. However, I'm prolly not going to run all 4 low beams. I'm running on the low beam in the Hi-beam location and it seems like I might blind people. I had to adjust the lights to work for now, so I'm not sure how the actual low-beam pattern will be when they are correctly hooked up.

thanks on the wiring and stuff.i have done my single bulb lights with relays,big wires and a diode between the trigger wires so hi beam kicks the dim relay too..i still havent gotten the sport lights yet and still would like some ideas for the places to look at to get them at a decent price...have any of you guys got some lately and what is a good price????thanks again for the info..

I just bought some from www.importvision.com Part #IVMAX3341102USC and they were $210 a pair plus shipping.

Seeing how I hate wiring I took the lazy man's way out and ordered a wiring harness from www.suvlights.com No part # listed that I noticed. I just got the Dodge Ram Super Heavy Duty Conversion Harness w/4 relays 9004 to 9004/9007.

I have yet to install any of it. To many other things going on right now but I hope to start on it this weekend.
