Does anyone know where to get a Dodge Ram Head set of brake light covers? I have seen the ones that say RAM on them for the Ram pickups, but haven't seen anything that looks like it would work on the Dakotas. Thanks!

I had a pair,ordered them from a custom styling store called Carrs Audio.I don't have them anymore because they are junk.At first they look really good then about after a month in the hot sun they start to faid really bad.Plus don't put any knid of wax or cleaner on them becuase they will spot really bad.I would go with a set of GTS tailight covers for about the same price and save yourself a big headache! Just my 5.2cts.

I have the Ram head tail light covers for my 98 dakota. They are made by V Tech. I have had them for 2 years now and they still look great, maybe a little faded but not really noticeable. I got mine for about $35. Hope this is what you wanted.

Jake,
Do you remember where you got the taillight covers? Also, when you say they faded, how bad was it, did you have to be up close, or was it pretty obvious? Thanks for the info.

steveo,
Did you paint the covers the factory color of your truck? If so, where did you get the paint? Thanks.

Bill, I got mine from a auto customizing shop here in southern Illinois. As for the fading, i guess they have faded some over the past 3 years, but not noticable. Last time i said it was 2 years but i rechecked it and found out it has been three years since i bought these. I did not paint them, but they look great on my 98 red dakota. Hope this helps.

I bought mine at the local Canadian Tire here in Ottawa. They cost me about $60 Canadian. They still haven't made it to the truck and are waiting for me to paint them.

I got mine from Canadian Tire as well. I had to go out and get my paint matched to the truck. Apparently, Atlantic Blue is a brand new color for Canada, and the dealerships only had touch up bottles, this would not do. The light covers look awesome, and fit well. Get yours painted Ottawa Dakman!

Go get you some head light covers and dont go get any aerosal can to match your paint go ahead and spend a little extra money and take them to a body shop or someone that paints cars and have them paint them for you. then you can match your paint exact and it looks like part of the truck

I purchased my covers from stylinconcepts back in 2000. They were $29.99. As far as paint. I went to Advance Auto Parts because they have factory color spray paint. Just get your color number off the door and match it up in their catalog. Be careful and get the paint that say truck and suv paint, because for some odd reason, cars and trucks in the same color have different color numbers in their catalog. Autu Zone also has this paint. Its about $5.00 a can.
