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.

Inside dome lights are very dim and flicker. They have been replaced once but the same problem remains. Had the same problem with my 2012 ram 1500 and had them replaced once and the problem remained.

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
