Written by BETTERAUTOMOTIVELIGHTING | Sep 7, 2018 4:00:00 AM

In this article, we will be covering the top 5 lighting upgrades that we’ve found for the Dodge Ram.  These lighting upgrades are more than just headlights, we will be evaluating the top lighting upgrades that can be done from front to back.  This was a difficult list to create due to complex Canbus wiring and PWM in the Ram truck,  however, we found the top 5 products that will actually work and improve your Ram.

Cargo Light upgrades offer many advantages. The first major advantage of upgraded cargo lights is the ability to see the bed of the truck and what may be inside.  The install is very easy and the upgrade is relatively inexpensive.

These bulbs can be found at Headlight Revolution.

Fog light upgrades for your Dodge Ram offer a huge light output gain.  There are many options for upgrading your Ram’s fog lights.  You are able to choose from simply replacing the bulbs or replacing the whole fog light housing.

GTR Lighting Ultra Series LED bulbs and HID options offer a great upgrade option, providing a great beam pattern and bright output.  The Ram Canbus system is very complex, causing most lighting upgrades to have a flickering issue.  After extensive development and testing, here are the two bulb replacements that have the correct components and technology to integrate with the Ram systems.

Another popular option for upgrading Fog Lights is a full housing replacement.  These can offer an amazing beam pattern and light output.  Morimoto XB LED Fog light housings are the top option that we have found for the Ram.

GTR Lighting’s 1,000 Lumen Reverse Lights are second to none.  These lights will outperform any bulb when it comes to reverse lights. People often don’t think about their reverse lights being an important feature for their vehicles.  However, the fact of the matter is they are very important to other drivers as well as yourself.  They are an indicator letting others know you plan to go in reverse or are currently moving in reverse.

Another huge benefit of these lights is they allow the driver to actually see where you are going in reverse, helping to avoid collisions and making trailer connections as easy as the middle of the day.  We have covered these lights before in an article if you want more information click here.

The Dodge Ram’s Canbus and PWM systems make it extremely difficult to find an upgraded HID system that actually works.  After endless development and testing, the people at GTR Lighting cracked the code.  The GTR Lighting  HID conversion kit is one of the only kits on the market that allows for a proper CANBUS and PWM integration installation on the 2009-2018 Dodge Ram.  Not only is it one of the only kits that works, it’s a plug and play system, making installation a breeze.  This kit will produce 500% more light than the original stock incandescent bulbs that come from the factory!
