Well I got good news and bad news for you. Which first?

You can buy the RT headlights here: https://www.dodgeparts.com/product_info.php/cPath/226_232/products_id/2555?osCsid=89e04c1695178c0519cfe00aace14bb4

Now to the bad news. Dodge engineers have spent extra time to absolutely annoy the *** out of anyone trying to replace the headlight housing. If  you want to do this, it's an all day job, no joke. You need to remove a plethora of parts off the car, including countless screws, the grille, front bumper (yes, you heard me) and part of the front wheel well.
In the process, you'll be scratching various parts, especially your front bumper.

How do i know this? Because unfortunately I wasted 5 hours trying with no success.

Somehow that does not surprise me.I half looked at this awhile ago and started the process just to see what I was up against.I soon found that what started out as a promising project soon came to a screeching halt.I could not even see the remaining fasteners let alone figure out what it took to remove them.How about the flat rate time to do this.Any Dodge wrenches out there reading this?

I was attempting to take mine out to modify them. It pretty much never happened. Sorry, no extras laying around
