Another vote for cab lights.
I have a Lund Moon Visor on my gaser Ram. It has the lights on the visor. It is attached to the roof with bolts. On a drive between LA and Phoenix the bolt on the passenger side of the truck pulled through the roof. The threads on the bolt would make a loud popping noise as it pulled in and out of the roof. Spent about $600 to get it fixed. A couple months later on another drive between LA and Phoenix it pulled through again. Took it back to the shop and they fixed it. Now I have another bolt in the middle that is pulling through.
I would not suggest the visor if you do a lot of long freeway drives. There is a lot of wind force putting pressure on the visor.

I bought the clear running lights for my diesel ram. I have seen them on other trucks and they look great. Can't wait to get mine on.

 

Cab lights. Hands down. I bought the cab light kit from Mopar that came with everything I needed, minus basic tools and a drill. Even though I have a 01, I bought lights that went on 99 and older trucks. Different style lenses. I have part numbers for both the older style and the new style 2nd gen marker lights for anyone that wants it.

Heres the kit:


Heres the result:

 

Visor will decrease your mpg also, I had it on a gasser suburban and when removed I got almost a full 1mpg.

Go with lights, I might do same too, where's a good kit to buy ?

 

From your Dodge dealership. Thats where I got my kit. The kit comes with the lenses, lights, wiring harness, gaskets, zip ties, screw anchors, and a drilling template/instructions. Very nice kit for a reasonable price, I paid $144 for mine.

Here's the Mopar part numbers :

P/N 82205120 for the old style (94-97)


P/N 82207252 for the newer style (98-02) Thanks to AggiePhil for the next photo.

A warning with this kit. Supposedly this kit comes with the wrong template from a 3rd gen, but otherwise has all of the correct parts. Member AggiePhil bought a kit that had the wrong template.

 

I also have to go with the visor. I like mine and I do think it looks good. Pic in gallery.

 

Great deal, thanks for the pictures, I will get the newer ones, I have a price of $ 78.75 from an online dealer.

Visor's have the tendency to make the door seals leak air when it is windy outside, they just make alot of extra noise in the cab especially when you meet a semi.

 

i think i'm gonna go with the cab lights. i really like the smoke and clear ones from recon. i think the smoke would look killer on my silver truck
and i'm lookin at the fender flares, anyone got any good pix of em?, nuthing too big but something that will keep the rocks and mud in check

 

if your gonna go smoked, get the ones for a 3rd gen. the 2nd gen lights dont have a tint like the 3rd gens

 

Why not both cab lights and a visor.

i was looking at doing both, but all the holes kinda scares me. and i've been talkin to people around here and they don't like the visors cause of wind noise and decrease in mpg, so cab lights it is
now if i can get the rest of the list goin
now added to list
control arms, DSS
anything else to add??

 

Yup, bought my used truck with a visor and lights on it. I like the look of the visor - someone once told me it is a sign of age, kind of like wanting to watch the weather channel all the time But, absolutely hate it on the highway. It is noisy, and all that air hitting it makes the overhead console and rearview mirror rattle like crazy above 55. I've tightened up everything I can but no go. I can't help but think it is lowering my fuel mileage and between that and the bug deflector, my wipers have a difficult time staying on the windshield at speed.

 

sorry to bring up an old thread but I just had a question about your cab lights....does this older 2nd Gen cab light kit (82205120) come with a wiring harness that will plug in directly without splicing wires or do you still have to splice the wires or do a fuse tap.....did the template seem to be pretty accurate for the older body style? i was just considering options on cab light install....thanks for any help or suggestions.

 

I like visor with lights already in it. I think Lund makes one.
It's a matter of preference. Personally I don't like trucks with canopies on them.

 

I put clear cab lights on mine and it looks great. My vote is cab lights...
