Ram 2005 headlight bulbs
On the new to me 05 Ram 2500 CTD, I note a big difference in lighting compared to Old Faithful (97 Ram), but it's still not perfect. What type of bulb should I use while staying street legal? I've use...

If there's so-called "scatter" occuring, then they are using HID bulbs in a non HID designated housing.

You can call it what you "like" but when I have a vehicle behind me with the blue tinted bulbs and a have a very sharp bright outline of my seats and head from said blue bulbs that tells me that the "pattern" of said blue bulbs is scattering well out of bounds from where they should be..
Even the folks leaving their high beams on while behind me does not give such a sharp outline..
If folks really want better headlights they need to address the low voltage to the bulbs first..
Manufacturers tend to use 18ga wire and lots of it, in the average vehicle there is easily 20ft if not 30ft of headlight wiring before it gets to the bulb..
Ready made relay kits typically use 14Ga and no more than 15ft of that since they connect directly to the battery..
Pretty much a solid bet that you will easily gain 20% better light by using a relay kit..
