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.

I have an 03 Ram 1500. This is a huge help to know you guys have already done the testing so we don't have to.
I have an 05 Dodge Ram 1500 and videos like this is what helps me with the things I look forward on doing with mine, and I like watching them in general.
🙏🙏🙏
I ordered the GTR Ultra 2.0's the day I watched this for my '2005 -2500 and I can attest to the performance upgrade! Thank you, HR!
Did you replace the housings? Reason I ask is I'd like to know what works in a projector style
Thanks for the info!! I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 completely restored! Thanks for the info on proper updates!!!!!
Wish I would have watched this before buying my led bulbs. Mine are worse than factory....now I know why. Thank you for putting this out.
That's 2 of us ..I did the same and its worse now..
I HAVE A 2003 and videos like these help out a lot 👌🏼
That's great to hear, thanks for watching!
I agree 100%
You are leaving out the midyear late 2002 dodge ram so how would I go about ordering bulbs for my truck?
Thanks for the video.
I got crazy and changed the bulbs with the house still mounted. Yes....that was a job.
Wish I would've seen this video before I bought my LED bulbs. Definitely would've gone with that last set
Man that had to have been a fun install! Haha glad you got it done though. Well hey if you ever need another set in the future, you know what you need now!
Thank you for all your information I have a Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 DAYTONA and I will change the Headlight & Bulb 🤙🏽
No problem 👍
Thanks! Was looking for something similar. Great review and instructions.
Glad it was helpful!
I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500, and have been looking for some lights, because the stock ones are crap. I think you just sold me on the GTR Ultra 2s. Great video.
Glad we could help!
2008 Ram 1500, great vid
Thank you!
Awesome, looks like it’s time to order a pair🤟🏻
You won’t regret it!
Very helpful video. Thank you.
These are great videos you guys do a terrific job. My 2005 Dodge Diesel headlights ain't cutting it. I'm thinking of projector housings with LEDs. I'd like your opinion on that and recommendation if you don't mind. Thanks in advance, Jeff.
finally, because there is 800k brands of bulbs for these years
You guys asked, We listened! We are trying to dig into some of these older vehicles.
Great Video! I have a 2005 Ram 1500 and was really needing some advice! BTW... what lights are in the bumper between the fogs?
Those are some accent lights that the customer had installed on the truck when it came in!
Time for an update on the LED's available for these trucks. I ordered the FAHREN. Any comment in these or will you test? 9007 headlight and 9006 fog.
Hey I have a 2005 model, and I am always looking for an upgrade for lighting. I would love to see a video on adding fog lights to the 2005 model that when purchased did not come with fog lights. If possible.Thanks!
Where can I get those lights on top of the fog lights ? 👀
Is you GTR Ultra 2 ram package set up for the high low beam issue?
Please help, gotta know where you got those lED light bars on the front of the dodge. Look amazing
if i am not happy with the old factory stock headlight assemblies on my 2004 dodge ram 3500 pickup, what upgrade do you recommend for the headlight assemblies to further improve the light beam pattern before and when I decide to upgrade to the GTR ultra 2 bulbs. Thank you.......Pete
Get any project that had dual high and low beam and shove in a hid kit in their.
What brand of headlights did you install the bulbs in on the ram? I've been looking into a different set
Those headlights are the factory headlights!
time to replace my headlight assemblies on 05 dodge Laramie -- would these be a good choice for projector style (as close to stock look as possible)?
I wish I could recommend those to you, but the laws have changed regarding HID and LED in a halogen applicaton. I can only recommend you halogen options now, and I have linked the bulbs I would recommend for you here: www.headlightrevolution.com/9007-Vision-X-Superwhite-Halogen-Bulbs_2?quantity=1
If you would like to discuss the offroad options we have for that vehicle, shoot us an email! Sales@HeadlightRevolution.com
Hi everyone, do you have a recommendation for a direct replacement for both headlight assemblies, please?
Here you go.

I was watching one of your earlier videos where you installed an S-V.4 in a 2003 Ram and said that bulb was one of the only options for a decent beam pattern yet here you do not seem to like the pattern. Is it a different bulb from the prior video to this one? Did they make some changes that do not make the S-V.4 a good option anymore? I am looking to upgrade my 2005, I know they are not great lights to begin with, believe me I know, and would like to find the best option. Thanks for the comparisons.
It is not that the V.4 is a bad bulb, the Ultra 2 is just an insanely bright bulb that produces a fantastic beam pattern. The V4 is still a fantastic option for your vehicle, and I would highly recomend the both of them!
I have a 2005 Dodge and you would think after installing a load equalizer the "lamp out" signal would go away but it still shows up! Also when I switch from brights to dims, the lights turn completely off for about a second and then come back on. Any answer on what could be the problem here?
That is very odd, I am wondering if you have PWM modules installed with those bulbs? I am also wondering what bulbs you are running, let me know!
@@HeadlightRevolution i am having the same problem i purchased plug n play leds and now when i switch from brightsto dims it cutouts out them works
On an 05 Ram with aftermarket Spyder projector headlights. Has a bulb for high beam, and another for low beam. I’m assuming they’re both H1 bulbs, at least that’s what Spyder says they are. Does GTR have a bulb that fits the projector?
The GTR Lighting Ultra 2 is not available in the H1 bulb type.
If your truck is used on public roads, we would recommend going with a better halogen bulb to remain DOT compliant.
The Osram CBB bulbs are some of the best halogen bulbs on the market today.
headlightrevolution.com/h1-halogen-osram-cool-blue-boost/
Can you do testing on a 2000-2004 Chevy Impala for LED & HID testing?
We’ll see what we can do.
would this be the same for the 2500 models? Also, my fog lights are currently a 9006 would running a led 9006 conversion bulb be the best option for them or should I get another bulb style for my fog lights?
This info is the same for the heavy duty trucks, Yes. You should keep your bulb style the same when upgrading if possible, So I would stick to 9006 for the fogs!
I have an 06 2500 and its because of the poor reflector bowl that Im gunna upgrade to either the morimoto or alphrex (likely the Nova series).
Are the GTR Ultra 2 bulbs DOT compliant? I thought LED bulbs are not allowed to be used on highway as retrofit.
There was no mention in the video if these will still allow the Daytime Running Lights to function as they use the high beam at reduced voltage. Will the GTR Ultra 2's work?
They will, but the bulbs will run at full intensity.
This will work on a 2002 headlight also right?
My dad has a 2007 dodge ram 1500 and he bought sone cheap led bulbs and when we installed them the lights only turn on for a couple seconds than shut off until you turn the key off then on. I then bought these resistors kit for the bulbs and now they work but they are stuck in high beam mode and when you hit the high beam switch the low beams come in for 1 second then go back to high beam mode. I now just bought some pwm modules to see if those will work
Sounds like the PWM Modules should fix everything!
Can you show how to install resistors all the way around for a 2005 ram 1500
We'll see what we can do! Until then, this video will help you out!

I have an '05 and my headlights are flickering on low beam on both sides. It has a driver included on each light but it's still flickering on low beam for some reason. I'll give these guys a shout and see if they can help me. I may go ahead and purchase some different light bulbs while I'm at it
Sounds like you need an anti-flicker module!
www.headlightrevolution.com/gtr-lighting-pwm-hid-kit-modules-ACC.PWM5202.MOD_2?quantity=1
I really like the two LED mini light bars on the front of the ram. Where can I get some like those? 👍
I believe these were some pretty basic aftermarket DRL strips. Similar to something you'd find at a local auto parts store!
Wouldn't a good quality aftermarket headlight assembly change the beam pattern for the better?
It might, that all depends on the bulb and housing combo!
Your website shows a resistor T-Harness, how do you install it?
It is plug and play, no need for extra wiring!
@@HeadlightRevolution if I order these bulbs that resistor is already connected in line with the bulb?
Looking for help I have 2004 Dodge 1500 RamI have recently installed new headlight housing and then up graded to LED Bulbs. The housing assembly has a black box attached about the size of a deck of cards. The LED’s work except when going from high beam to low beam at that time the driver side will blink about 4 to 6 times and set at low beam. Also I receive a light out on my dash but it turns off when light stops blinking. Is there anything I need to do?
It sounds like you might need a PWM Anti-flicker module to prevent the hyperflashing and bulb-out errors. Shoot us a message, we can help! sales@headlightrevolution.com
2005 - 2015 Toyota Tacoma! 👍
You got it!
2002 dodge ram Did led bulb replacement and have low but no high beam
Just installed a set of LED s and I'm getting flickering. Would a load equalizer stop that it's just flashing like once every half second?
I got the same problem too I took off mine I can’t stand it it keeps going off and on at night when you open the door when you close the door man I just got tired of it I took them off
How do I stop the dreaded lamp out when installing leds on the blinkers brake etc...
You'll need to add resistors!
I have an 04 ram 2500. I replaced the lens assembly with ones that are not oem but look like them. I installed fahren led 9007s. I have a U shaped light pattern. Will changing led brand change pattern? Or is it just a case of the cheap reflector that's in my new assembly?
I just installed Fahren's on my 05 Ram. You can rotate the bulb a third rotation to get the best light pattern.
It's a reflector issue. Gonna try to find ones with a similar reflector. These cheap Chinese ones are garbage.
Definitely an issue with the housings themselves! Changing a bulb wouldn't change the pattern, just the brightness.
2000-2006 Suburban/Tahoe, 1999-2002 Silverado, PLEASE :)

I have a problem with my turn signals on my 03 Dodge Ram 1500 and what’s the right bulb.
If you still need help shoot an email to service@morimotoHID.com.
Can you show us how to install resistors on a 2005 ram 1500 I failed at it
The installation of resistors should be the same as any vehicle, you will want to have that resistor wired in between the turn signal positive, and the grond wire. If you have any other questions, shoot us an email and we will get you taken care of! Sales@HeadlightRevolution.com
High beam on the Ultra 2 has a better cut-off than the lowbeam.
These housings are so strange, You don’t normally see an effect like that.
What light bulbs would you suggest for smoke black headlights?
The GTR Ultra 2!
I bought Sylvania LEDs on 04 Ram. When I Switch To High Beam It Shuts Off For A Second N Then Comes On. N My Lamp Out Light Is On When I Have Low Beams On
Shoot us an email, we can help out!

Do you need a conversation kit? Or just the bulbs
You'll need the full kit which includes the LED bulbs and also resistors.
You can find the kit here: headlightrevolution.com/2003-2005-dodge-ram-led-headlight-bulbs-gtr-lighting-ultra-2/
What should I use for my 07 dodge durango something a little lower priced then the gtr ultra
We have a few options for you! Send us an email to Sales@HeadlightRevolution.com And we’ll go over a couple that would work well in your particular vehicle.
@@HeadlightRevolution ok thank you
Installed the GTR’s in my 05 Ram and when I put the high beams one light goes out. Any help please….

I have a 2003 Ram 2500. I went to your web page and it listed only the 1500. Any suggestions?
They are the same headlights! (:
I installed my new led bulbs on my 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 and it is throwing a “Lamp out” warning. What are some things I could do to fix it?
Same lol
I’m hoping that LED bulbs will fix it
Mine flashes only while in using my blinker while head lights are on, so annoying!
Some resistor harnesses!
2001 Dodge Ram 3500.
We’ll try to get one in!
Do you think these produce enough heat to melt ice ?
These would be the ones you would want to look at for melting snow and ice!

Would i be better off buying two new led headlights. This would be an up grad?
Yes it would be a huge upgrade!
I have an 05 ram 1500 I was thinking about upgrading to LED's so these would be good for mine?
Absolutely!

Are there led bulbs for the amber too?
Sure are! GTR Carbide 2.0!
www.headlightrevolution.com/custitem_cat_facet_brand/GTR-Lighting?keywords=carbide%202.0
Is there a better headlight assembly on the market for these trucks?
Not really, besides projector options
A retrofit is your best bet. Most of the aftermarket options aren’t great.
2006 chevy trailblazer ss
We’ll see what we can do, Those trailblazer’s are sweet.
I read that these bulbs are not DOT compliant. Are they just for off road?
That is correct!
@@HeadlightRevolution What bulbs would you suggest for highway driving?
What is the front bumper on this truck?
Not sure man, this truck belongs to a customer!
This is still a reflector type headlight, right? It will be better for the driver, but oncoming traffic will suffer.
Not at all, our bulbs control glare very well compared to other brands.
2004 dodge dakota please!
If we get enough interest we can set one up.
I have an 02. Will that bulb work.
Yep!

These headlights are just pure junk. Do a retro fit.
They are really bad, It’s true. Even the best LED bulb on the planet can’t improve a bad headlight housing! A retrofit is highly recommended if you can do it.
@@HeadlightRevolution You should see the light scatter with hid's 😂
I do like those headlights y’all have on the dodge, BUT what retrofit headlights would y’all recommend? I’m so sick of my bean pattern and I just drive my other vehicles at night because of it.
You’d have to retrofit them yourself, There really isn’t a premade set on the market that’s any good. Most of them use cheap projectors that don’t hold up over time.
Headlight Revolution would it be better to swap to the 06-09 headlights?
You really wouldn’t see much of a benefit with that swap. Those headlights aren’t much better at all.
