79 and 80 . I've had two 1980's. One with round headlights and one with the quad lights. Well that doesn't help. I'm still confused. I looked at a lot of pics online and saw both single round & rectangle quad lights also. Wonder if the single headlights were base and the quad headlights were part of a package such as the Prospector Package & LRE Thanks anyway, Mark

'79 was the first year, and '80 was the last, but ALL '79 and '80 trucks didn't have them. '79 and '80 with single round light still had a unique two year only grill.

Stacked lights were an option. Kind of what I was thinking. I just saw that quad headlights were list as standard equipment with the Prospector Package in a sales brochure.

'79 was the first year for the new design hood also. '78-back had the "bird bath" style. Tim

74-76 is only years I wasn't big fan of. Quad stacked '79 my favorite, then a tie between 72-73 and 77-78.

I used to not be a fan of the '77, '78 but they've grown on me (interesting how C-body Plymouths had the same light treatment, but not Dodges). '79-'80 I'll take either way. Regardless, it always kinda amazed me that they would make the entire grill and surround out of ONE piece (aside from the headlight trim). Ding a corner or smack a bird at fwy speed, EVERYTHING has to be replaced.

The stacked quads are my fave because my 2nd vehicle ever (when I was 20 years old) was a '79 Adventurer 150, shortbed, 318/727 had the stacked quads, so I suppose that's why....sentimental reasons. The '74-'76 just look too busy to me me. The '72 and '73 are just cleaner looking to me. I recently saw a NOS set of the quad headlight surrounds on ebay for $800. Love to have them, but no thanks at that price.

There's one near me that keeps popping up on CL and FB for $1400. Have heard rumors that one actually sold for that price at Carlisle this year. Probably one of those $%@# deep pocket LRE guys.

That's my guess as to who they are counting on. Someone restoring an LRE or at least an LRE owner. Mine look decent and that's good enough. I don't want to drive around with $1000 or so in just headlight trim alone.

The only way I'd justify paying that much for them is if the rest of my truck was mint too. I bought mine used a couple years back for maybe $45 for the pair on ebay.

Bought my LRE around 97 from a kid working the parts counter at a Dodge dealer. It was a basket case and he had gone in the Locator to find a few bits for it including a grille and both head light buckets new in the box. Wanna say he paid like $400 but ya know, been a few years.
