Jim, is that an accessory battery or is that where Chrysler actually mounted the battery in the 300?

[NOTPAID4]

Jim, is that an accessory battery or is that where Chrysler actually mounted the battery in the 300?

All the "LX" cars, 300's, Magnums and Chargers all have the stock battery mounted right there in the trunk. The "SRT"S do NOT come with a spare tire, no jack and no lug wrench; they have an electric air pump and a type of fix a flat stock from the factory; really kinda weird!

[SmokedRam]

Weird, I never paid enough attention to them to notice that I guess.

Haven't done much new in the past few months... Had the grill repainted and went back to the oem grill badge. Un-dipped the truck for the most part. I liked the black look but it didn't hold up as good as i thought it would. Only thing that has plasti-dip now is the antenna. While I was having the grill painted I took all the black plastic trim pieces off the front (lower grill, bumper step plate, fog surrounds NOT the lower air dam..yet) and kryloned them which made a world of a difference.

Here are some more pics:

The biggest difference I see in these projectors and my old non-projector HID's is the light is way more concentrated and not scattered.

[Onk]

Totally awesome dude

Hell yeah those look incredible! I was browsing the other day for new heads. I really like the black.

[4XLGator]

Thanks Drew! I was really impressed with the light output of the HID's I put in my stock housings without projectors. But holy cow what a difference the projectors make.

These lights are actually lights like they put on the night runner rams back in '06. But the projectors were retro'd by Jeremy/Retro Shop. I really wanted to get rid of the amber strip but really the only option is to spend more money than these. But, I really like these and don't mind the amber so much anymore.

[Onk]

Drew your truck is so fricken clean looking.

I love it!

[DrewRam]

Ya that's the one thing I like about mine is that I don't have that amber strip but honestly on the black background the amber actually looks great on your heads and those things are so Damn bright the amber is non existent at night Lol. Did you have to get new hids or did your existing ones go right into the projectors?

Yes, I had to have new bulbs because the projector takes a different bulb than stock. The guy that retro'd the lights threw the bulbs in on the deal though. I plugged into my existing ballasts.

And I agree with Kevin, your truck is very clean and looks great.

Damn I didn't notice you got some retros

Yes, I did. After the wreck, I talked to Jeremy (Retro Shop) about replacement headlights because my passenger side light bracket (really a tab) was cracked from the wreck. At the time, he did not have any night runners so I shopped elsewhere but never found anything I was pleased with (quality mainly).

Jeremy recently got in some night runners and he contacted me about them, and sent me pics. He and I have been talking off and on for a year about headlights. He made me a deal I didn't feel I could pass up, so I bought them.

I like them, even the amber strip doesn't bother me anymore. And the light output and concentrated beam is crazy bright.
