Spyder auto (19395 e. Walnut drive north city of industry california) is selling headlights that they claim are dot approved but the pair I received are 'cross eyed' and there is no left to right adjustment and they refuse to warranty them. I had ordered a different pair previously from a different manufacturer which also had the same defect and it appears both sets of headlights came from the same factory in china and are using the same molds and are importing them and illegally claiming they are dot approved. I've included a picture of the beam pattern.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 1500. While driving approximately 45 MPH, the driver side low beam headlight failed to illuminate without warning. The contact also stated that the driver side high beam light would not illuminate unless the contact held down the high beam control. The failure recurred each time the high beam and low beam headlights were engaged. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the tipm failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000. Updated 09/10/15

As I was rounding a curve and approaching train tracks,truck lost power.the engine shut off and I had no power steering. I was able to turn the wheel enough to stay on the road and coast over the train tracks.since then my headlights sometimes flicker on and off at night while driving.took truck to dealer and was informed it was the tipm and would cost over $900.I don't have the money so I am forced to drive it as is.

When using the left turn signal the right signal sometimes flashes. Sometimes the left signal will flash for a few seconds, then the right signal will flash a few times. Failures are intermittent and inconsistent. Also, the wipers and washers operate intermittently, and the high beam switch works about 20% of the time, sometimes requiring a stop to actuate the switch repeatedly so as not to blind oncoming traffic.

The multi-function switch, intermittently, when you push down to make a left turn goes to flash on the right side or visa versa if you sometimes hit the high beams it resume to normal but you have to play with it to make it work properly very dangerous afraid of getting into accident or being pulled over by law enforcement. Also, it functions fine 30% of the time but the rest of the time it functions as described above or not at all.

After replacing multiple bulbs for my passenger side headlight and changing the connector switch, I have been told I will have to replace my tipm (totally integrated power module) which is $800 + labor at the dealership. The tipm is the fuse box and I've seen several '06-'08 model dodge owners on different forums with the same problem. When the tipm goes out, it can cause the headlights, locks, blinkers, tail lights, wipers interior lights, etc to not work. In 2006, dodge replaced the fuse box with a tipm and since then it has been nothing but problems for dodge owners.
