This 55w HID kit has been a long time coming! Finally, there is an easy to use, plug and play HID conversion kit that works on all 2009 - 2018 Dodge Ram trucks. These kits come with a 55w ballast producing 5 times more light than your stock headlight bulbs!
This video shows you how to do the install on a projector headlight model but would work on the reflector style headlight trucks as well. No more resistors, no more relay or wire harnesses, and no more hassle!

I am thrilled with the headlights. Putting them in was pretty simple. Frankly, I didn't even have to de-pin; I just used a hacksaw blade to cut a tiny notch in the hole I drilled in the dust cover. The gasket that was included in the package covered the notch completely.
The existing ones that I had on my 2015 RAM were incredibly dim - these are fantastically bright. It is really surprising how much better I can see. Really great product.
I guess im asking randomly but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the login password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
@Vincenzo Mekhi instablaster ;)
@Luis Landry i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Luis Landry it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account :D
@Vincenzo Mekhi glad I could help =)
Thanks for a great product video. I purchased this exact kit on your website for my 2016 RAM 2500, installed it and it works great, no errors and bright as the sun!!
Glad to hear you like the video and the HID kit! Thanks for watching!
Perfect video review. Gonna install GTR hid kit to my 2012 Dodge Ram.
Thanks for the feedback, and we appreciate your business!
Finally! Been ive been waiting for a kit like this since i bought my truck! 😰
Fantastic job with the install video. Only did the low beams on my RAM (for now) and with this video is was a piece of cake!
Glad we could help!
Headlight Revolution I sent over an email to your sales team, but maybe you could answer. Can you have an HID low beam and an LED high beam? Or can you not mix them?
Best instructions on the net on how to do this!
Thank you! We do our best.
What about drl function? I have the low and highs but wondering about my highbeam bulb during daylight. It only powers about 50%. Im from canada so drl is a pain n the ass. Do they fulky power up during day or dont work at all? This is overwhelming.
The mountains bracket is not what they are in this video. I already did my install and I’m worried the ballast are gonna fall out. What happens then? Will u guys replace them if I run them over??
Can anyone link me to the type B video with the load balancers?
Got this kit for Father’s Day. Installed it about 2 months later. Found one of the ballast did not work along with both bulbs. Took about 4 days to talk to someone about my issue. Really disappointed as I had drilled my dust covers and had to tape them over. Took about 2 weeks to finally get replacement parts and everything working. My opinion is the light output increase is way better and a much needed upgrade. For the cost of these trucks HID’s should be included. My sons 07 Mazda 3 has Xenon lights from the factory. Unfortunately, they will soon be releasing the LED headlight assembly which I can’t justify spending $1300.00 on. 😞
I wanna put some
On my 15 megacab don’t really wanna drill holes
How many lumens is it?
It's far easier to simply replace the entire headlight assembly. I switched from standard factory lights to Projector/Halo lights. No cutting or rewiring involved. Simple plug up and go. Believe it or not, going to sound stupid, but, screwing with and "MODIFYING" your headlight assembly, can cancel your vehicle warranty (already had to have this discussion with my auto dealership/garage over an aftermarket stereo installation. Was told ANY modifications to any part of the electrical system on my truck would void the factory warranty)......All the electrical components are monitored by the BCM/ECM modules and the slightest modification can cause a cascade effect throughout the system.
Do the grommets come with the kit?
Great video,thx for sharing.
Thank you Charles!

You're very welcome
Are these still the most up to date universally fitting headlights for a 17’ Ram 2500?! I see the video is 2 years old...have their been any improvements or are there better products available today?
Looking to buy something that’s essentially plug and play like this video.
Thanks in advance!
Unfortunately, there have not been improvements that we can recommend to you for sreet use, except for the Morimoto XB LED Headlights. They are completely plug and play,, and will not even require the installation of a relay harness like these HID lights. They are a complete headlight assembly, and will have everything upgraded to LED already! I have linked those for you below, and if you have any questions just let us know! Link: headlightrevolution.com/2009-2018-dodge-ram-xb-led-headlights/
The HID on the high beam is quite useless, when you have to flash it.
The HID have needs a few second to get hot and produce the maximum amount of light.
You should better use, a LED kit for the high beams and even if this doesn't satisfies you, tried to add some LED bars or LED pods.
If you get an obd mx + interface and alpha obd you can install led or hid with out all the kits, just plug them in and go to car configuration and change it to enable hid, you have to have a security gateway bypass for 2018 and up ram that you can get from kaod tech, the whole install on both sides took about 30 min!
Sweet! That makes things super easy!
I already have 2013 - 2014 HID LOW beam kit installed and I think it came with GEN III or IV ballasts. Can I use these ballasts with the bulbs I already have?
Ballasts can be changed out, just have to make sure you have the proper canbus module for your vehicle
Headlight Revolution I thought these ballasts don't need a CANN his module? They don't have one in the video.
How would you say these compare to the Diode Dynamics HID conversion kits?
So do you still have to use some type of anti-flicker module for the factory canbus system ?
Tony Zuniga Not with this kit. The GTR gen 5 HID kit has everything you need integrated right into it!
I have installed several different brands of LED lights in several vehicles over the years. Common problem to all is that about after about a year the ballast get noisy and it sucks. I like LED's but not the noise after using them repeatedly. Nice video
My 2014 Ram 1500 was built at the end of September of 2014. Im praying these work without a relay harness. I bought a set of 55W morimotos with the morimoto stand alone canbus adapters, and the headlights wouldnt attempt to come on. Reversed polarity still no luck. So now I bought this same kit,hopfully it works out. If this fails im moving on to LEDs, half the lumens with bad cut offs lol. I hope my truck doesnt have the 2015 setup. Using a relay harness isnt a option for me. In a couple of days will be the year of 2019. Seriously a relay harness in 2019? Lol
Hello . I just replaced the my HID headlight bulb on my 2016, RAM 1500 coz it burned out ( iTs from Absolute DHID Canada) . The new one not turning on . and I do get the message that my light is out. Do I need to reset the computer or how do I trouble shoot further. ? Thank's

I thought the projector headlight trucks only have one bulb which it should because it's in the projector housing like a bi-xenon hid with high and low beam
RDNCKRAMNOSD1, thanks for the comment. You are right! The headlight assembly has a bi-xenon projector, plus a separate reflector for the high beam. It's an awesome headlight with great light output from essentially 2 sets of high beams.
I’m sure it’s the same. What hid headlight would you recommend for a 2015 Chrysler 200?
Look into the 9012 style!

Hi have a kia sorento 2016 and i have plenty space in the housing to put everything is it okay to do that?
Are you asking if the HID ballast can go inside a headlight housing? Yes you can, but it's not ideal to cram that many electrical components together in a small unventilated area. They won't hurt anything but it MAY shorten the lifespan of the ballast or bulbs due to constant heat soak. the nice thing about having the ballast mounted externally is that it has access to moving air that is cooler than inside the headlight. Electronics gotta stay cool!
So there is no wire harness that come from the battery that you hook to the ballast, what is the link for my 2018 dodge ram 3500 slt, I would love to hook up just the ballast to my headlight, I will be getting the projector style headlight for my ram?
I wish you could do that, but on any 2015+ MOPAR vehicle, you will need to get the MOPAR Harness linked below! Let us know if you have any other questions, we are here to help! Link: www.headlightrevolution.com/morimoto-mopar-2015-spec-harness?quantity=1
@@HeadlightRevolution OH, I wish that I would have seen this before I order because I have already order the kit, so I will have to send them back because I have that setup already, no need to put one in when I already have it.
It's kind of misleading because the video said that I can use that setup and you came back and tell me that I need this wire harness for my 2018 ram, maybe you should change this to 2009-2015 rams.
I contacted the company verifying what kit to purchase and followed the link provided for my 2016 projector. They stated the kits were in stock and would ship immediately. Watching the shipping info it did not ship by day 4 so I tried to call, no answer, left message, no call back. Tried "chat now" no one ever there, sent email: no answer, posted on their Facebook and someone answered!!! So on day 7 after order a person responded on facebook asking for my order number and would look into it, no other response after the facebook "we will look into it". Item finally shipped and I received 15 days after order. Whew that was too much work.
Well the Kit arrived and I started the install process: Grill off, headlight out, wires pulled, change out bulb...... wait this doesn't seem to match up. They sent me a kit that has 9012 bulbs instead of 9005. FFS lets see how long it takes them to answer this time. Unless they make this correct VERY quick well..... lets see what they do. I WOULD THINK TWICE BEFORE ORDERING. DIRECT FROM GTR WAS SAME PRICE.
Mine came today after 47 days. I know they are moving wearhouses and the guys were nice and all, but 47 days is not cool.
does a 2013 2500 that had quad headlamps require the can bus decoder in an hid kit
Yes it does, These Mopar trucks require that module to function properly.
Headlight Revolution thanks
i have an 09 dodge ram hemi. i find myself changing ther driver side hid light 2x a year. they never work at the same time. any ideas
That is very odd, is this a factory HID that you are talking about or an aftermarket HID kit?
no they are after market. i am considering switching to led just because of that problem.
Have you checked out the housings from Morimoto, they would be a fantastic addition to your truck! I have linked those for you below, let us know if you have any other questions! Have a great day!
I have a 2015 ram 1500 with stock H11 reflector type headlight bulbs. I purchased LED bulbs not knowing I’d have so many issues trying to get them to work. The CANBUS system doesn’t tell me I have a bulb out and the lights work great with the key in the “on” position. Once I start the truck and the engine is running, I get 3-4 very quick flashes and the lights stay out. The lights also work when I unlock the truck with the key fob, but again once I start her up, they flash a few times then stay off. I tried load resistors and get the same issue. I called many places and it turns out the 2015 year for ram trucks is the “lemon” for lighting. I was Basically told I’m SOL and can never run an LED bulb. Then I found this video. I’m tempted to give it a try, but absolutely need to know if this will work for an LED bulb in a reflector type headlight housing. This video was made for an HID bulb in a Projector type housing. Can someone PLEASE confirm/deny!? Thanks
I can't say for sure that this will work. If you'd like to give us a call we can get one of our support staff to help you out.
Alpha obd 2 connecter an app. Change computer setting to led. That or bring it to the dealer and let them flash it.
Any CANBUS problems with this? Aka. Bulb out message?
Jamie, thanks for watching. No CANBUS or Bulb Out messages. We tested everything from Morimoto, GTR Lighting and Diode Dynamics among others too, and this kit from GTR Lighting was the only one that is truly plug and play with no trouble.
Headlight Revolution thanks for the info. I currently have an HID kit from a company called Innovited and some CANBUS decoders. Still having an error message. I might look into GTR Lighting now.
Where your shop located I need install those hids .thanks

What kit do you recommend for a 14 2500 ram without the projector style headlights. It's a tradesman model
Here is my recommendation: headlightrevolution.com/2009-2018-dodge-ram-reflector-single-beam-led-h11-low-beam-bulbs-upgrade-supernova-v-4/
It is much easier to realize an open-heart surgery than doing all these tasks just to replace a pair of
headlight bulbs
Can I just put the ballast inside the headlight amsembly to keep from drilling the holes? Im sure they will fit. I will be installing these tomorrow. Cant wait!
Did they fit inside the headlight assembly??
Dylan Collett did this work?
For the reflector quad headlights. Would you recommend the gtr hid kit or supernova led. Ran the supernova but couldn’t stand that it had a bluish Tint compared to my turn signal bulbs I got from you guys, still was a quality product tho. Also if you happen to recommend the hid would the 35w or 50w be better, asking because I’m worried the 50w will cause the lense and reflector to get too hot and cause problems. I ask on her because I haven’t gotten a response through email for a week and I have a better chance of getting a response on here.
Hey there my man, sorry on the delayed email response. For reflector housings, we feel LED bulbs are your best bet, as HIDs tend to throw a lot more glare from the bulbs. And in regards to your question about 55w or 35w, if you have a smaller headlight housing/space, we recommend the 35w HID kit due to less heat output from the bulb. If your housing has a decent amount of room, shoot for the 55w kit!
Headlight Revolution okay thanks led it is. I currently have the switchback turn signal which is a bright white. It was a kit I purchased from the ram section. When I had the supernova v3 in my low beams and fog lights it wasnt a match as they had more of bluish Tint to them but I was told it would be a perfect match. Any led low beams and fog lights you offer closer match to the switchbacks or vise versa as I’m willing to also switch out the switchbacks to get a closer match. Also why are the led fog lights 4000 lumens compared to the low beams which are 3000? Btw I have a 14 Ram with the reflector headlights.
Do you need canbus decoder with HIDs?
Hey! Thanks for asking. Yes, the necessary PWM modules are included in the vehicle-specific kit. If you have any other questions, let us know. :)
How about a relay ?! I have a 2015 ram sport with projectors
When do these become back in stock?
Hey! It looks like we'll have the 55watt HID Conversion Kits back in stock by mid-October... hopefully sooner :)
Dont buy these hids. They suck ballast keep going out.

i really dont like the idea of drilling the dust cover
What the bulb size for this truck ?
It depends on the year. If its 2014 or older, it will be 9012. If it's 2015 or newer it will be 9005
For the price, I’d feel more comfortable with 3m tape on them ballast holders. Just sayin.
Fuckin right on bro......u did me a good deed.... the person I got 2change my LEDs...wired my lights 600dollar lights..... I fuck't around with them seen the plastic wire toke it off....now my LEDs lights work fuckin awesome now I don't know what the fuck happened...I should pay closer attention 2amachers week.....but it's all good now brother......
Are these bulbs DOT approved and do they have the stamp?
Nobody in the world makes anything like this with a "DOT stamp". They use a different light source than what the DOT recommends, but this kit, in this particular headlight housing, does create a street legal beam pattern.
@@HeadlightRevolution Thank you for the info.
I ended up buying the same type of kit but a lot LESS expensive through Headlight Experts. For 2015 Ram you need PWM plug in module but only an extra $14. Plus they give a lifetime warranty. Here is the link to compare. www.headlightexperts.com/
Tired of seeing the low beam headlight bulb out message. Might have to give these a shot
Highly recommend this kit!

Me too!
If only every headlight housing "reflector or projector " on the 4th gen rams didn't get condensation in them. Currently on my 2nd set on my 13 and still getting it.
Are they aftermarket assemblies or OEM?
Aftermarket through autosaver88 on Amazon. Look great. Thinking about putting Laramie assemblies in but heard it requires a aftermarket relay for my ecu.
Used screwdriver...breaks tab 😤
Good video but you need to be more informative when connecting the harnesses / wires. You did with the headlight assembly at the bench but not when you reinstalled the headlight assembly to the truck.....
Thanks for the feedback man, I will pass that up the chain! That aside, the wiring on the bench will be the same as the wiring in the vehicle, you will just have the vehicle powering the HIDs instead of a power supply. Shoot us an email if you have any questions! Sales@HeadlightRevolution.com
Headlight Revolution
Thanks for the reply. I plan on buying the GTR 5th generation HID set up for my 2013 Ram 1500 Sport for both the LB’s and Fog lights but not the HB’s because of the instant on factor you had mentioned in one of your videos and that made sense.
I did look into that company you mentioned that sold the predrilled headlight assembly dust cover and I have a question. I noticed they had predrilled both the LB and HB parts of the cover. In my case I only need the LB part predrilled. Can I order it that way?
Unfortunately, you will only be able to get them with the 2 holes drilled, but they come with grommets in them that have the hole blocked off for the most part! If you were really worried about that, you could simply throw some hot glue back there on the high beam, and that would get the high beam sealed! Shoot us an email if you have any other questions!

Can just do LED and forget this mess
Cutting holes in your headlights. Removing the grill. Removing pins. Green wire to red wire. WTF?! Sticky taping extra stuff to your frame.This is not plug and play.
supperterofsanity The kit itself is plug and play. Yes there is a lot of work that is involved with installing into these trucks so technically even replacing the factory halogen bulbs would not be plug and play. I assure you that when it comes to HID kits this is as pnp as you get with the Ram trucks.
Plug and play means no splicing etc. That's it. It doesn't mean you just plug it in and go.
Plug and play = non retro fit. The fact you can screw the bulb in and plug in the connector is "plug and play". Whereas a retrofit HID kit would require you to bake your housing and seperate it. Remove or insatall a new reflector (mostlikley projector), whuch requires hours if tweaking and some fabrication. THEN reassemble the headlight housing, and install a similar kit....
Thats the difference, that is what makes this plug and play - you use your factory headlights..
I'm going to say that depinning and drilling holes is the exact opposite of "plug and play... Also, way to put a hid in a non projector housing. Bright as hell and minimal light output.
We just updated this video and now it is truly plug and play! No more depinning, No more drilling holes!
This is all fine and dandy if you are rich,These are $299.00!!! WOW
With the performance these deliver, and the Lifetime Warranty on the best HID kit available for your Projector Ram, it is well worth the investment!
The “after” shot on the wall looks worse than the original. They’re just whiter. No thanks
HID bulb in a halogen projector. There is a youtube video somewhere that explains that putting those 2 together can actually make the HID dimmer than the halogen bulb.
I think it knocked a 2400lm bulb down to 300lm.
You call this plug n play? Lmao
As plug and play as they get for an actually reliable kit! I don't know if you have tried many aftermarket lighting products in those Ram trucks or any MOPAR vehicle for that matter, but they are SOOO picky with any aftermarket lighting products. That said, the GTR Lighting HID kit is one of the few products that we have found that will not only fit in that housing, but will also continue to work for you instead of burning out! If you can find something else that works in that truck, great, but just know that even most of our LED bulbs will not work in that truck due to the OEM lighting system.
Ya drilling definitely is not plug n play 😒
These are way too expensive!
Steven nevetS worth it. Big time. Lear’s see how long they last. They are much different now. The mounting bracket is totally different.
What a mess of wires 🤦♂️
