OEM or Aftermarket Headlights?!

[dakota.morgan91]

Howdy everyone! When I ordered my Gladiator I opted out of the LED headlights because they make you package it with other things that I did not need or want to pay for! With that being said, headlights are the first modification I plan on making when my truck arrives in March/April. My question for all yall is OEM or aftermarket for that headlight upgrade?
I enjoy the stock look a lot of the Mopar led headlights, but dang they are pricey! Oracle seems to make an awesome product but I am not a huge fan of how they look aesthetically. I am curious to hear people's opinions and advice on these two options and others! Thank you in advance!

If you live in an area where snow is an issue, wait for some aftermarket lights that are heated. Otherwise, you just have to determine how much you are willing to spend, since you didn't opt for the factory LED's.

I have read that on some other threads about the non heated issue. Fortunately this really isnt going to be a winter truck and will rarely see snow. I would put my budget on $1000 or less, MUCH PREFER less lol but I would spend the money for quality units that look good as well.

I have these on my Gladiator Overland. HUGE difference vs. stock (even stock with LED bulbs inserted). Very easy to wire up the Halo's too. Do a quick google search to find out how. Took me 10 minutes to do it.

I find my stock housings with LED bulbs work out pretty well.
I’m not a fan of the BEM-look of most aftermarket options.

Wow those are cheap too! I am going to do some research on them. Thank you for the feedback!

I had the lanterns, and headlights were the second thing I changed. I went with these (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07N4K67H1?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title). I’ve had them on for almost 7 months and haven’t had any issues with them. They’re complete plug and play, only thing is you’ll have to wire in the DRL if you want it on. I just tapped into the fuse box.

I would recommend the Oracle bi led projectors. I have them and love them. They look awesome. And they are a huge upgrade

I opted for LED bulbs and I now see why I was called a dick in another thread. I have been flashed at least once on my way home from work every time I drive home. I only live 5 miles from work. I just got Oracle Lighting LED headlights. Should be coming in Monday. Cheaper on Quadratec site than Oracle's.

Dv8 Offroad makes led headlights that look just like mopars for $675

I went with LED bulbs and have never been flashed at night. You gotta aim them shits right!
