    I have a 14 SXT and the headlights seem really puny. Can anyone recommend a simple upgrade, maybe different bulbs? Something simpler than taking the front off and pulling the headlight assemblies out.

    Puny No More

    Greetings fellow Mopar fanactic!

    I have a 2011 Black Mamba edition and I upgraded my lights to 10000k HID bulbs, headlights and fog lights. If you don't know what your doing, have professional installation done. This color presents a blueish tint to it that will make the person in front of you wish they had a dimmer on their back mirror. I paid $90 for the install by a pro.

    I ended up going with the sylvania silver star ZXE bulbs after looking around at a bunch of threads online. This was just a simple bulb change, no installing inverters or changing projectors. The difference is amazing. They are drastically brighter than the oem bulbs. They have a nice white light to them, it doesn't seem like it blinds other drivers looking at them from out of the car. I'm not sure how longevity will be with them, so that remains to be seen. But so far they look well worth $70.

    I haven't had a chance to get a good pic. I needed a before pic, and I really don't feel like changing the bulbs out just for that. We keep having crap weather at night, I'll try to get out and get something.

    Ok, here you go. Phone camera from my car. This is a backroad with no lighting. The dash is dimmed down to the second to bottom stop.
