How can I tell if I have projector headlights!

How do I tell which headlights I have? Projector? Non?

I'm no expert on 5th gens, but I don't think there are any projector lights in the lineup.

Base halogen reflectors and it seems two different versions of LED headlights which are also reflector based but different shapes.

@Jacobian if you have a '16 truck(Gen4 DS body) the OEM projectors for your truck look like this:

the other headlights available on the body truck is a Quad which looks like this:

Those look like the Quad headlights, the OEM ones use H11 bulbs in the low beams and 9005 bulbs in the high beams

Yes those are the base model "Quad" halogen refective housings. projectors always have a round magnifiy lens in front of the bulb. I upgraded from the quads to projectors a few month ago on my 2015. it was a worthwhile update and changes the look of the truck.

I believe the OP has a 2016, so 4th Gen.

Yes, which is why I edited my post and noted it accordingly.

Thats exactly what I am looking to do to my 2014 Ram 3500. Which year will fit my 14? Anything up to 2018? And is it all plug in play wiring or do you need a different wiring harness?

Those are not protector. Looks like quad lights.

 

[augiedoggy]

You need headlights that state they are replacements for the quad style headlights. Many are compatible with both as they come with a wiring harness to go from the factory projector style plug to the halogen/quad style plug. The tail lights is where it gets tricky since you cannot use oem led style replacements in the trucks wired for bulb style oem taillights unless specified. I went with thses spyder lights since I was on a budget with lots of upgrades to pay for.
