Dual LED Projector Upgrade for the 3rd Generation Dodge Ram 1500 2500 and 3500
The AlphaRex ARX880535 LUXX-Series LED Projector Headlights replace the factory halogen headlight assembly on 2006 to 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 and 2006 to 2009 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with a complete dual-projector LED unit engineered and tested to DOT and SAE FMVSS108 standards. The ARX880535 features AlphaRex's LUXX LED chip technology in a Plank Style housing with a gloss black interior finish, delivering a sharper low-beam cutoff, higher output, and a signature DRL light tube ring around each projector lens. The sequential LED turn signals animate toward the front of the truck on every signal activation, adding a premium look that is miles above the factory amber bulb setup. The complete ARX880535 assembly is a plug-and-play replacement requiring no permanent wiring changes, making it one of the cleaner visual and functional upgrades available for the 3rd gen Ram platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the ARX880535 fit the 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 HD?Yes. The ARX880535 is confirmed fitment for the 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, including the 1500 HD, as well as the 2006-2009 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500. All of these 3rd generation Ram trucks share the same headlight housing opening and mounting configuration.
Is the ARX880535 a direct drop-in replacement?Yes. The ARX880535 includes a plug-and-play wiring harness that connects to the factory headlight connector without cutting, splicing, or permanent wiring modification. The housing mounts directly to the factory headlight bracket using the factory hardware.
What is the difference between the ARX880535 Plank Style and the standard 880533 or 880534?The ARX880535 is the Plank Style version with a gloss black interior. The 880533 is the standard Gloss Black housing and the 880534 is the Chrome housing. The 880535 Plank Style features a distinctive internal trim strip design that creates a more modern, custom appearance compared to the standard reflector housing layouts of the other variants.
Are these headlights legal for road use in all US states?Yes. The ARX880535 meets DOT and SAE FMVSS108 compliance standards, making it legal for public road use throughout all 50 US states. AlphaRex designs and tests all LUXX-Series assemblies specifically to US left-hand-drive vehicle regulations for beam pattern and intensity.
Will the ARX880535 work with my Ram's factory DRL system?The ARX880535 includes switchback LED DRL tubes that function as daytime running lights. The DRL circuit operates within the factory vehicle wiring via the plug-and-play harness. If the factory Ram DRL system uses a separate control module, verify that the LED DRL load is compatible or use an appropriate load resistor.
Do the sequential turn signals require any additional modules or programming?No. The sequential LED turn signals in the ARX880535 are self-contained within the assembly and activate through the factory turn signal circuit via the included plug-and-play harness. No external flasher relay or additional module is required. In some cases, upgrading the factory turn signal flasher relay to an LED-compatible unit may be needed if rapid flashing occurs.
What is the warranty on the AlphaRex ARX880535?AlphaRex provides a manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship on the ARX880535. For specific warranty duration and claim procedures, contact AlphaRex customer service directly at alpharexusa.com, as warranty terms can vary by product and purchase date.
Can the ARX880535 be installed with an aftermarket leveling kit or lift?Yes. Headlight aim adjustment is required any time a vehicle's ride height changes significantly. After installing either a leveling kit or a suspension lift, adjust the ARX880535 beam aim using the factory headlight adjuster screws on the back of the housing to restore proper beam alignment for oncoming traffic safety.

- Install the factory mounting hardware and tighten to specification.
- Reconnect the battery negative terminal and test all functions: low beam, high beam, DRL, turn signal, and activation light.
- Aim the headlights using the factory adjuster screws to ensure proper beam pattern for oncoming traffic. Aim to factory specification or per your state's requirements.
