Sport Headlights-where to buy?
Gents,
I've got to do something about these headlightd before I crash. I'm sold on the Sport headlight conversion and the Daniel Stern harness upgrade. Problem for me is sourcing a decent 3rd party headlight assy as the OEM are priced retardedly in Canada.:o I see alot on the Depot (Maxzone) units posted. Anybody know how I can get these? I'm not aware of any retail Maxzone in Canada. Any other good knock off units around? Much appreciated. Taz |
You can get some more lummens out of the stock lights with the upgrade of running your lights off relays under the hood. LMC has the kit for $30. Made my lights a lot brighter.

I cant remember where I got mine except it was off the internet but a quick search found these
http://www.amazon.com/1999-2001-DODG.../dp/B001R5HFXM I think I paid 150ish for the pair and so far they have worked well. Install went well and fit and finish were good. The lighting difference is fantastic. I also used Daniel Sterns harness. He will sell you a complete premade harness if you ask him and the price was only a bit more than the SUVlights harness. The quality was superb. I also used his recommended bulbs even though my lights came with bulbs I went ahead and switched them out and couldnt be happier. |
ask 'diesel dave 2' (something like that).
he got ones up here in canada for a really good price. he'll be able to help you out. i can see the website, but can't remember the name! |
Hey Guys,
It's not that I can't find them, I want to find "good" ones. Alot of the offshore units are junk and I'd rather spend a bit more knowing they have good lighting qualities as close to OEM as possible. BarryG, I notice these are from the Headlight Depot. Is this what is being thrown around as a "Depot" Sport Light? I was under the impression the "Depot" referred to Maxzone. I don't think Headlights Depot ships to Canada anyway. Anybody else??? Cheers, Taz |

here you go:
http://ecat.crosscanadaparts.com/php...y=4WD&view=cat Scroll down about 3/4 of the way. look for Part #'s 330-151L & 330-151R these are full assemblies with bracket, headlights, and marker lenses. spend a little more than ebay, but be satisfied with the quality, and the fact they are already north of the border. |
Doj Dewd,
Hoot man, good find. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for taking the time to help out, safe travels brother. Cheers, Taz |
Hopefully this link works. It's one of the best mods I've done to the truck.:cool:

I got what I thought were good aftermarket ones and the interior reflective coating on one has failed. I'm gonna pay the extra and get the OEM ones to replace them. Might see if I can find a pair in a junk yard, but I would not buy the after market ones again.
DS is a very good system though. Have his in mine, buddy got his system elsewhere and the components are really cheaply made. DS's are heavy duty and very high quality. I wish I had listened to him about the headlights themselves. Live and learn I guess. |
jeeze wyododge,
Now you've got me second guessing...... |
Sorry buddy,
Don't mean to be the monkey in the wrench, but looks like I was anyway! I guess on the bright side (pun intended) one of them is working flawlessly! |

Live and learn I guess. i could be wrong - but i am guessing you bought from eBay or some asian speed shop store . . . if and when i have to replace my housings i am going to get the cross canada parts. like i said, good enough for insurance companies - good enough for me!! |

i listened to DS when buying mine. i bought all OEM components. a short while later, a local member bought the cross canada psrts. we compared side by side and found NO differences.

WOW!!! just looked up the headlamp. Same price as what I paid for garbage. If only, if only, if only!!! On edit - looked at the wrong one. BUT 219.00 is still good. Especially with similar quality. |
