Incorporating the right accessories into a complete build is essential when trying to accentuate the overall aesthetic value. In the case of our '09 Dodge Ram, we aimed to produce a classy fullsize truck with enough custom credibility to make its presence appropriate whether it's cruising the mean city streets or the fabulous Las Vegas strip.
| 2009 Dodge Ram Upgrades anzo Headlight
Seeing as night cruising is generally the most exhilarating, we wanted to upgrade the Ram's lighting appeal at both ends, so we locked down Anzo USA's brand-new head and tail light housings, and true HID head and foglamp kits from Xtralights.com. The black headlight housings feature a crystal-clear projector beam, bright amber LED turn signal bulbs, and fluorescent powered, diamond-cut halo light rings that will demand triple takes at the very least. The matching black LED tail lights shine bright, and are easily noticed day or night.
While we're on the subject of bright light, the Xetronic Digital Generation 2 HID conversion kits project 350-precent brighter light over the factory halogen bulbs.
Our '09 SEMA project was well on its way to being a mean, after hours driving machine. Onlookers should go out and grab a pair of shades.
FROM THE DRIVER SEAT
A side from the obvious increase in cosmetic character, the killer one-two punch delivered by Anzo USA's headlight housings and Xtralight's HID 8,000K Xenon headlight and foglight kits affords us a better, brighter glimpse of the immediate future. Watching as unfortunate drivers in front of us at stoplights squint and defensively adjust their rear views is pretty entertaining too. Even though we didn't install any type of HID kit on our Ram's rear end, the network of radiant red LED bulbs that Anzo planted in their tail light housings cut through the dark night well enough to be spotted from blocks away. Best of all, the installation of these illuminating products is a cakewalk that anyone can handle in a matter of a few hours and we didn't have to cut a single wire.
| The view from the Ram’s front end with the new Anzo USA headlights and HID bulbs was in-your-face and hard to miss. In just a few short hours, our '09 Dodge was ready to prowl the boulevards with the sun set.
