    Do you have a stock or part number for the silver stars? I pride myself on being annoying and this sounds like something I need.

    None currently, but I would like a better sounding exhaust and perhaps a cold air pack and some color coded step bars
    Flashing, hmmmmmm ...skies20, you Conn. guys are all alike. LOL I usually drive very early in the morning, with fogs and low beams and often encounter other cars on narrow back roads and have not been flashed yet.

    I've gotten flashed a couple times as well. I have the Silverstars and they are definately nice. Much brighter light and the blue tint makes it easier to see. I always flash back, so I know they all think I'm a jerk...

    I got flashed right after I did the 5100 s at 1.75, they settled a little...don't get flashed anymore. Holy thread revival!

    I just traded in a 2009 for an 2010. The 2009s lights were much brighter, I think they were aimed higher. The 2010s headlights suck as night

    When I first got the truck I did a few times. I showed them what the high beams really looked like.

    Dodge Rams are NOTORIOUS for being retardedly bright with their low beams. It's fucking annoying.

    On the plus side both their low and hi beams have phenomenal light projection out in the country and on the highway.

    Its coming back.

    I get flashed all the time but i live on mountain roads so the roads are really uneven. But when im coming back from the desert with 2 bikes in the back of my truck i get flashed by almost every driver. I do have HIDs but i have them aimed pretty low.

    No, even in another full sized Ram 4x4 (those things are pretty tall stock from factory) it's wicked bright.

    And second don't mock the 5.9L Cummings. It'll rip your ass a new one. :D
