Exterior Lighting
My passenger headlight works intermittently. The bulb is good. The wiring harness inside of the housing has been changed and did not solve the issue. It will work for a month or so then not work.

The automatic headlights shut off in the dark for no reason. I was driving on a back road with no street lights. I was coming into a turn and all of a sudden the headlights shut off. It was pitch black and the headlight switch was in the auto feature. I quickly reached and turn them on manually. This was very dangerous. If i wasn't on a road i normally travel i would have wrecked. *tr

When i tried to switch my headlights from dim to bright, they wouldn't stay in bright. After several attempts the brights would not come on.

Seems like my truck has a ghost onboard!

The headlights are not adequate to see safely at night. The lights do not shine forward of the vehicle enough to be able to see what is ahead at night, such as curves in the road.

I sometimes have to roll down the window and stick my head out to…

The headlights on this model dodge ram (2500 slt mega cab) do not provide adequate illumination at night. My headlights are adjusted properly for alignment by the dealer but the bulbs just do not provide enough light ahead or to the side of this vehicle. The dealer can only "check the connectors for proper installation" under warranty. I have not been able to get a response from chrysler. *tr
