LED Headlights...

I'm running LEDs in my 2014 Ram 2500. I put in 6500K lamps and really like the way this color cuts through fog and rain. The fog lamps also have a wider spread and illuminate the sides of the road much better. Just be sure to get the resistors for the CANBUS system so you don't get any "light out" errors on the newer trucks.

The ones I got from Superbright are CANBUS compatible but my old truck don't have the 'light out' technology so no issue.

I've actually replaced almost every bulb in the truck from dome lights to cab top clearance lights with LED bulbs. I left the rear turn signals and tail light bulbs incandescent so my turn signal flasher operates properly. I did the RV as well. All the outside clearance lights and tail lights (my TC covers the truck tail lights) are now LED. Most of our lights at home in the house are LED too.

I've gotten them all from Superbright.

I also did my farm tractors, really makes a huge difference when working after dark in a field. I have one of the 'light bars' on one of my tractors and I can illuminate almost 1/2 mile in front of the tractor.

When I refitted the clearance lights on the truck camper. I sealed the lenses because the life expectancy of the LED bulbs are longer than the camper will last so that eliminates and water intrusion issues through the light covers.

It's amazing technology and I'm amazed that those tiny LED units can produce that much light output. My headlight bulbs have what appear to be only 4 LED's, 2 on each side of the bulb itself.

I'm not at all savvy to how they work or the physical size but I was a 'doubting Thomas' until I turned them on.

It's actually painful to look right into the light close up.

While I always drive with courtesy on the road and try to ignore discourteous drivers who have forgotten where their dimmer switch is, If the poster that made the comment about turning on his light bar wants to, I'd return the favor in kind. No issue with me. I can roast eyeballs now too....lol
