AmeriLite for 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota/Durango Chrome Replacement Headlights 4Pc Sets Parking Turn Signal (Pair) w/Mounting Bracket

99 dodge durango

You don't want to see a picture of my old ones!Drove home last night for the 1st time after dark. Headlights are much much brighter, even the Dodge flicker is less noticeable, caused by a failing voltage regulator lights module $400 to dealer replace. headlights were aimed correctly without any adjustment.The hardest part of the install, as others have said, is the long Philips fastener that locks the headlamp section to the lower half that takes turn bulbs and marker lights. I soaked those in WD40 overnight and used a proper sized Philips screwdriver to slowly extract. On reassembly I used the original OEM star fasteners.Separation of the two halves is a bit tricky since they are snapped together and pop apart suddenly. I would recommend gloves.Price-wise they are more than adequate for my 2002 Dakota farm truck. Don't forget the dielectric grease on washers and bulb connections to stop water and corrosion if you drive in the rain. I seldom have to worry about that in this part of Texas.

Exactly what it says on the tin. These are a pretty decent replacement for the factory units, at a much lower price. If you want them to fit and function perfectly, pay for the MOPAR brand name.My truck is a beater that doesn't matter if it looks great, and the frame rails and fender mounts have been bent and straightened, so this may not apply to everyone, but there's about a 1/4" gap above the left headlamp and below the right, and I had to remove the little U-joint clips from the backs of both assemblies in order to cram them into the holes. Impossible to know if this is because of inferior design, or prior damage to the truck body (bumper might be crooked). Either way, it's an excellent choice for my application, and the Phillips-head screws for aiming and connecting the turn signals were an appreciated convenience, even though they broke through the clips while aiming and had to be modified in order to work. I'd only recommend these to anybody who needs function over form.Besides the other little oddities on my application, the turn signals have a tan plastic frame, rather than the black frames on the factory units. No difference to me, but some people might find that this breaks the look of the truck. If so, pay more for some thing else.

I had to do some slight modifications to make the left side fit, but they looked good when I finished. I can see to drive at night again.

Nice looking and close to OEM

Beautiful product upon installation, right headlight installed quickly and easily, as it should. It simply installed within minutes. The left side took over an hour with a lot of frustration. The parking lights "clip" onto the main "headlight" housing. That part is simple thought. The problem comes with the screw that secures the parking light to the main housing. It comes "screwed" into the main housing from the factory and has to be unscrewed in order to use it to secure the parking lights. It's a cheap grade of metal Philips head screw that (unlike the factory torx screw) is so tight that the head strips out. Even though it's screwed into plastic! The only way to get it out is with vise-grips, 1/4 of a turn at a time. Once I had it out, over 45 minutes later, I used the original torx screw. There's no doubt in my mind that the factory would have made it good, eliminating the frustration, but I needed to use the truck immediately.

Love clear headlights worth the purchase

Good fit,ent
