Hello all, I have a '98 Dodge Ram SS/T. I was looking for a good quality complete headlamp replacement assembly. I'm looking for positive ( or negative to stay clear of ) reviews on available products..
Thanks in advance.. Troy

I will say that you ought to stay away from the aftermarket "cool" assemblies, as they rarely perform their vital function. Stay with stock designs.
And, if you can, stay with factory stock!
Why do you need new ones? Thanks guys.. I bought both the left and right from Mopar, thinking that if I get factory replacements all would be good. I bought them because the originals were fogging up as most did. My truck still looks as good as the day I drove it off the lot and wanted those foggy lamps gone. Well, the replacement parts aren't assembly line "NOS" parts. The driver's side has a pesky leak somewhere and it develops condensation inside, which is just as bad as the foggy condition. I could take it out, submerge it in water to find the leak point, but feel I'll be chasing my tail in that it'll never seal properly. The factory parts are rather expensive. I think I paid over $90 and that was a car club discount I get. So, I was looking to go the "non-over-the-parts-counter" route. Thanks for the Dorman suggestion and link... Cheers, Troy
