Are the led healights worth the $1,000 upgrade cost?

[19BlueStreakSport]

Funny you mention that; because I leave my parking sensors permanently turned off, I turn of my MDS everytime I hit drive, and am not a fan of the other nannys/safeties. However the backup camera is great, as are the power doors and locks and AC. So I'm not against progress, and I think LED's can look great, I'm just not a fan of this particular implementation and I don't feel it's worth the upgrade cost. Anyway... I don't believe I'll be changing anybody's mind so perhaps its best for me to head out this thread too.

No, the question the OP asked was is it worth it. So everyone's take (including yours) is informative information. So no need to remove yourself from the thread. Everyone is going to have different opinions and that's just fine. You cup of tea, may not be mine and visa/versa, nothing wrong with that.

My halogen headlights are the only thing I hate about my truck. Enough that it was the complaint I gave to Ram on the survey.

Worth it. I upgraded after the fact.

I think you are taking the wrong approach here. People start threads like this asking for other people's opinions on something they're making a decision about. The purpose of this thread isn't for us to try and change other people's minds. They are just asking for our opinions. No one's opinion is worth more than anyone else's. But all opinions are valuable in helping the OP make their decision. No need to leave if you have something that will add to the conversation. I just felt that bickering back and forth was no longer adding anything to the conversation.

Worth it for sure.

The higher trims can only be ordered with LED's, guess that's kinda skewing the results too; works both ways my friend.

Very true.

Also, the cutoff on the reflector LED housings is basically equal to projectors. They just put light in the correct places. You will not get that cutoff with the halogen housings if you throw some LED bulbs in them. They're not built to do it.

Kerosene? Why not whale oil?

I love mine, I’d spend the extra $1,000

Ha this sounds just like me. And for the record I have no idea if I have LED or halogens, nor did I know there was options lol. I did however get from point A to point B at night a couple times so whatever shining in front of truck does the job.

Wow! They came on my Limited and I love them, but I don't think I would option them for $1000.

Sure you would and did.

Looking at your avatar it appears you have LEDs, congratulations!

Those Longhorn/Limited projector/adaptive LED headlights are even nicer than the ones being discussed here.

Those lights are what got RAM listed as a IIHS Top Safety Pick.

Worth it IMO. I came from previous vehicles where I would always have to spend money and modify/retrofit headlights for better output and would spend close if not more then the $1000 up charge to do it. So I was glad to save myself the hassle/headache to have it done already. They’re not the “limited” headlights but still very good.

I have the LED's on mine and love them . I have a van with Halogens and I've driven them both at night for a few hundred miles , I've never once thought that I needed more light with the van to see but with the LED's you can just see better .

 

[BigD]

I love the look of the Laramie LED's the best. I don't like the Limited ones. Too skinny imo. I hate the look of the halogen lights. It just comes down to personal opinion. Personally I'd buy whatever I could get the best deal on. Right now everyone is paying MSRP because of the conductor chip shortage, so u might as well order it exactly the way u want it. So damn glad I bought my truck 13 months ago when the deals were great !

Kerosene? Why not whale oil?

because I already use it for the engine oil.... Mobil 1 "Humpback 5-30"...

 

[gpbst3]

Have you even been in a vehicle with LED headlights? I’m assuming not. It’s worth every penny. I will never go back to halogen headlight again
