Headlights failing or too dim by model year
What owners say
Dashboard says that my left headlight is out, or my left and sometimes right turn signals are out. Upon checking, the headlight is new and the turn signals are working properly outside of the truck.
When I drive at night or early in the morning when it is still dark out, my headlights turn off fully and I have to pull over for 20 to 30 mins to try and turn them back on

The ram 1500, 2014, that I currently drive has terrible headlights. As the truck has gotten a little older the headlights have gotten much worse. They have always been terrible since day one. I have taken the truck to have the headlights professionally buffed out, and I have changed all four bulbs with the best bulbs I can find. Almost no difference. The truck is a danger to drive at night. I cant see at all. I am sure people have trouble seeing me as well.
My driver side headlight will collect significant water inside he assembly. It will fog over so bad that the effectiveness of the headlight is seriously diminished. This causes poor night vision. This is a safety hazards. Other oncoming drivers will flash me thinking I have my high rams on. Visibility on the drivers side is severely impeded. I have removed the assembly and poured out 1/2 cup of water from the vent opening.
