As the father of three boys, I also feel like their mentor. The oldest son, 17, is most like me in terms of our areas of interest. Like myself, my son was fascinated with automotive technology at a young age. I bought my first car at the tender age of 15. It was a 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 Convertible, with the flame decal on the side and the two racing stripes on the front hood. I treated that ride like the great companion it was. Now, as I watch my son fixing up his own 2000 Dodge Ram, it’s as if I’m watching my young self. He has the knowledge and skill, not to mention the patience, to work on his own car, but he comes to me for help with finding parts. Just recently, my son needed to replace his right side fog light of his 2000 Ram, so I went ahead and found him a 2000 Dodge Ram replacement fog lamp assembly. Finding it was easier than ever, since many online vendors exist. One such vendor, offered the best aftermarket parts at the lowest price, so I bought from them.
Whatever the case, the Dodge Ram is the truck for the job. It’s a well-respected family truck, while it’s also the rough-and-tumble off-roading truck that we’ve all grown to know. Just this past weekend, I pulled into the garage with my gorgeous red 95 Dodge Ram, wearing a fresh coat of mud over the bright red paint job. That’s right, I took my truck out for a stroll through the Tahoe Mountains for some 4X4 fun. As I closed the door and took my slippers off, about to go inside the house, I noticed the fog light bulb Dodge Ram 1500 had a crack straight down the middle of the bulb. At first I panicked, but then I collected my thoughts and constructed a plan of action to take in this situation. In the end, the bulb was replaced and my truck was ready to put on another coat of wet mud.
In my quest for a reliable, efficient fog light for 2006 Dodge Ram, I’ve come across good and the bad. Trust me, there’s a lot of good out there, but there also exists the bad. To put things more clearly, I’ve refused a lot of shady deals. To put it simply, you must keep your eyes peeled for discrepancies that exist between the product and the way it was advertised. Like this one time back in ‘95, when I was shopping around for a new family van. In the newspaper advertisement, the van was pictured to be in a fairly good condition, with a new paint job and all. With high hopes and great expectations, I travelled to the seller’s location to have a better look at the car before purchasing it. Let me tell you, it’s a good thing I looked at the car in person, because it looked nothing like the van that was advertised. The van in the newspaper was a beautiful model, but the van before my eyes was a paint-stripped, dent-abundant, cosmetically imperfect vehicle. So, as I search for the best used fog lights for Dodge Ram, I keep a paranoid mindset, because after all, it’s a dog-eat-dog world.
