The job is fairly straightforward but it a bit labor intensive for just having to replace a bulb inside your headlight on the truck. This is the way the truck is designed unfortunately but hopefully this helps show you the process!

This is a great video and made me decide to sell the truck when my headlight burns out.
Lol its not that bad honestly it takes about an hour or so to do both
@@TheWest400It is that bad.
@@TheWest400when the L Brackets won’t release on either side. It is that bad. Retarded design
I hate it so much. And now my headlights went out again. 🤦🏻♂️
Lmao I was thinking the same thing
A video thats straight to the point, with no unnecessary loud ass intro, and pointers?!?!
Liked.
Dealer wanted $150 plus the light bulb! You saved almost $200! You are awesome!! Thanks!! Keep up the good work!
Hell yeah thats awesome glad I could save ya some money thats what its all about! 👍👍👍
How do you change the signal and parking lamp bulbs out on the projector 1 headlight 4th gen
Best Video i’ve seen for this job. I messed around with mine for an hour before i youtubed it, this video helped me get the job done in 20 minutes.
Just what I was looking for. Now I just have to find where my 10mm socket went...
Thats the one that always goes missing lol
@@BoostedMotorsports TRUE !!!!
Lol right just lost mine working on my Raptor 700
My ram ate mine tonight now I got to figure out which crevice it's living in.
Just glanced at the comments and see the 10mm comment and about lose my shit 😂 it’s not even funny how true it is
This was perfect!! So helpful and made installation of new bulbs a breeze! After watching video done within 10mins the longest part was removing the top plastic radiator cover.
Thanks for sharing! Off to change the bulbs in the RAM 1500 I bought 3 weeks ago...
Literally 10 days after buying it, a headlight went out.
Mine too! But i have the lights lshown in this video and had to buy a while new housing since leds were out 😔
I had to put a new wheel bearing on day 5 after paying cash for this money pit lol today I had to get my power sliding window closed because it didn't close lol
Another bulb changed with no broken clips, tabs, or connectors! Thanks Man!
Thanks man it was the locking tab in the back for me. I knew something was back there bit would've never guessed that. Preciate ya
This was an excellent walk through on how to do this easily and without breaking anything on my truck. I was able to replace the headlight bulbs in less than an hour following this block of instruction. Thank you.
What use to take 5 minutes max 🙄
This was the most helpful, most simplistic explanation I've come across. Well done!
Dude! I checked out your video on how to replace my Ramtruck headlight. You were spot on for everything. Thanks to the video, I was able to do everything without breaking any tabs or fasteners. Only thing I have to add is that it took one cycle in my truck to clear the “left front blinker error”. I was kinda freakin out when I started it the first time and still had the error. But after shutting the truck off and then restarting it, the error cleared. Thanks again! You made this repair simple for me. Only took 15-20 minutes! In my case, my headlight housing was collecting condensation and would not go away and it eventually messed up my blinker. Now I’m back on the road.
Bang on !!! Thanks for confirming. It worked out for me too.
Definitely came in handy, emptied out about 1 cups worth of condensation due to the previous owner pushing the plugs all the way in, not allowing any of the condensation to flow out. Thanks! 👍🏻
Dude you are a lifesaver when it comes to the 4th gen rams!!!!
Hey bro, thanks for the all the videos you do. Makes doing things to the new Ram I got a lot simpler. I knocked out a headlight bulb upgrade in about 45 mins, thanks in part to this spot on video of how to remove the headlight housings w/o breaking things. I know you got the projectors but for guys like me with the Quad reflector lights, changing the H11s to the H9s in the lows makes a world of difference w/o having to worry about the headaches with LEDs/HIDs and costs literally $18 for the bulbs. Thanks again.
Thanks. You are the first I saw that explained it in great detail. It was very helpful
This tutorial was dead on!!! Thank you so much! I have arthritic hands so I didn't unplug but I was still able to do everything else. Mission accomplished!
Awesome video, straight to the point and detailed enough for me not to mess anything up!
I found your video super helpful. Like WAAYYY better than all the other videos on the same topic. Then I realized that I had already spun the fudge out of that lower bolt, that raises and lowers the headlight.
I think this is one of the best explained and most efficient videos I ever watched on RUclips. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the positive feedback I appreciate it! Lots of RAM and automotive vids on this channel let me know what you think of some of the other content if you get a chance 👍
Dude, you could not have made this easier! Thank you so much for the super informative and helpful video!!
I just saw your video and now I know how to replace the headlight! It has gotten some water/ condensation in it and I had been wondering how to do it.
Thank you very much for your detailed video!
This video was so helpful. Not only did you explain everything, you pointed it out in detail. I did a headlight change on my 19 Ram . All the things you mentioned I ran into to . This video was so awsum . Your information was off the hook. Liked , and followed. Thank you 🙏
Firestone wanted $121.00 so thanks for some great info..save me some money..
Thanks for your help, I was able to install my LED headlights on my 2018 Ram... Mine aren't the projector, but same removal/install.
Awesome!!! Glad you found it helpful! 🤘👍
BoostedMotorsports can you tell me is all the bolts that go across the top of the grill the same thread pitch?where two go in the
Metal and two go in plastic
Great explanation on how to remove the headlight, easy to follow and understand. I recently got a 2016 Ram R/T and am planning on doing some upgrades to it. Thanks for the FYI on removing the grill too, I definitely don’t want to break the little tabs at the bottom. Thanks again!
Thanks! I would have never figured this out on my own😅
Just change my bulbs. Thank you . Was very helpful. Did everything exactly how you showed on video.👍
Why do manufacturers have to make simple repairs so darn difficult????
Dude, thanks!! third video I watched but the first one to actually show how the white plastic catch piece works.
Great video. Finally one that does not start with the grille already off. Kudos.
Thanks. Forgot how much went into it. Don’t think I have the patience tonight, great excuse to get away from extended family next Saturday day so I’ll wait.
This is a great video. Another one I saw showed how to do this without removing the grille. I would be reluctant to do it that way just in case the lower bolt turned the adjuster when trying to remove.
Super helpful tips on how to do things safely! Thanks for the video!
Having upgraded from a 2004 long bed Ram 1500 to a 2017 4 x 4 longbed 3500, it's heartening to know they made it wildly more complicated
I’ll never own another dodge product after this one! If people believe in evolution it doesn’t seem to be happening anymore! Glad you made this video or many grills and headlights would be broken.
Thank you for the video! What happened to the old days where you could just reach your hand in and twist? This is ridiculous now on many cars
Yep, looks like I'm going to the dealership to change a light bulb
So easy to do after removing the grill.. Thanks for the great advice.. Best video about ram headlight replacement.
Used it for the second time. It was just as helpful as the first
Thank you so much, very good information and Inlove the step-by-step!
Thumbs up, as I got the buckets out successfully with this help. I still don't know how you removed the electrical plug. All we could see was the backs of your hands. I`m just going to do it with them hanging by the wires.
I just put in the new innovited hid low beams, hikari led high beams and alla lighting premium led fogs today. I did this without removing the grill just FYI. It’s actually really easy to do it without the grill removal which is where the headaches can happen with broken tabs. Just need a long extension and you can easily remove the bottom screw. Thanks for your great vids by the way.
A review so far is that they are absolutely amazing!
Glad you are liking the upgraded lighting!!!! It really makes a huge difference! 👍
Worked like a charm, nice quick and easy.
good info, I appreciate the tips on how not to break the small stuff!
Thanks David! Let me know what you think of the other RAM videos on this channel too when you get a chance!
Dude... you saved me from certain frustration!
Worked extremely well.
Thanks
Thanks for the help buddy! Clear instructions and visuals…
Best video I’ve seen about RAM headlights I’ve seen. Hats off to you sir you have a new subscriber
This video is really great. Great details. Thanks bro you save my truck from being damaged. 😅
I just removed mine without removing grill. Just need a 12" extension to get to the bottom bolt. No problem and quick.
I just did the same thing LOL!! It was easy AF. My brother owns a 2014 like mine and doesn't believe me.
Terrific tips made this a super easy, 10-minute job.
Awesome video! You saved me from accidentally breaking all the clips off my grille! Very helpful video!
Glad to hear Michael! Thanks again for your support on the channel! Plenty more videos on the way and new video will be up tonight! 👍
Dude! You saved me a crap ton of 4 letter words! Much appreciated!!
Excellent. Big help. These videos are very helpful so you’ve helped many. Thanks again.
Thanks Ken I appreciate it! 💪
Perfect step by step directions!!!
Thanks for the video, came in handy to upgrade to LEDs and I needed the grille off to wire in a light bar.
I saw another how-to without removing the grille to get to lights, but if you have a 12V impact, ie Milwaukee M12, the grille comes off in literally 90 seconds.
Thanks for the video, the Rebel doesn’t have the clips behind the grill thankfully. This was so informative.
Thank you for the step by step guide. It went exactly like you demonstrated.
Nice video, thanks. You'd think the engineers could come up with more of a simplified removal process to just chang out a headlight bulb.
Good video, made the job pretty quick for me.
We did exactly as you showed and it went smoothly. Thank you!
Best video ever!! I saved almost $200 for changing my light
Thanks for the instructions on this. Made this job a snap.
Great video, as usual! Wanted to watch this before removing my grill. I figured this was how it was done but wouldn't have known about the bottom tabs and would have busted them off for sure!
Great vid brother, with all of your vids , your making maintenance on my truck easy. I told all of my buddy's with rams about your channel and they love them also. Have you installed the dee zee tailgate assist shock yet. I just put one on my truck it makes a huge difference 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks Corey appreciate your support on the channel!! Yeah I want to get one of those at some point. Just been messing around with all this lighting stuff lately LOL 🤙
Thank you for the detailed video. Made life a little easier
Helped replace my burnt out blinker, thanks a million!
Best video!!! Takes you step by step. The only thing was taking off the running light... having to press the tab back instead of pinching together was the only tough part. Can you make a video for taking the grill of a charger?
Thanks alot. Worked perfectly good advice about the clips
Thank you so much. Thanks to your video I was able to do the whole thing in less than a hr (and without breaking anything) great video!!!!
I almost cut corners but glad I watched all the way through. Take the extra step. Goes back easily.
Great video, short, simple and with all the necessary details.
Thanks man my first truck and had no idea what the hell was going on compared to my RVR haha again thanks for the video very clear easy to follow
Good video, clear and concise.
Thanks for the video it was so easy to follow
You just earned another subscriber, great video!
Just did the Hikari LED fogs with the canbus decoders. Ordered everything at one shot on Friday. Amazon prime of course. Still waiting on Innovitive HID kit. After the LEDs install I was so hyped up I went on to taking the grille out. I followed your method to a T and my fat arms and hands still managed to break one clip. Lower driver’s side. Lol.
lol those pesky clips! At least they are cheap to replace if needed. Let us know how you like the innovited HID kit. It really makes a difference!
BoostedMotorsports will do. I’ll let you know. I wish I would have ordered the 9005 or HB3 kit instead of the 9012. Still in 5000k 55watt. Just ordered the 9005s. Why/how did you end up with a 9012 kit? They make and sell the same thing in 9005 or HB3. Also, did you have any other wiring? No relay and wiring from the battery? I have only ever wired up a 9007 hi/low beam HID kit on my old Dakota.
Right on. Thanks for not talking like the people watching your videos are idiots. No babble and clear cut direction. Good stuff
Thanks for your support Mike I appreciate it! Plenty more videos on the way!
THANKS , YOU JUST SAVED ME ABOUT $100 .....THOSE WHEELS ARE AWESOME !! WHAT ARE THOSE?
Thank you very much for such an informative video. It made changing the bulb so easily. 👍
Great in-depth video thanks
You make absolutely great videos - very clear and concise, and easy to understand and follow. Muchas gracias.

Done it once before, needed a refresher.
Bro thank you so much for this video I was at that point with the grill and had you not shown this easy technique I would of broke something 4 sure thanks again
Good video explaining how to do it now I know how 😁

Excellent video, replaced my headlight assembly flawlessly. Thanks
New suscriber your video so much better then others
Thanks brother I appreciate it!
Thank you this video was really helpful 👍🏽
Thanks, helped me a lot, only I left the grill on. Feeling the white tab was an eye opener for me. I felt tons of other colours but this one was awesome 😂
Great tips on how to remove each part without breaking crap 😂 thanks man great video! 👍🏽
Great and clear explanation.
Did a good job explain how to charge a head lamp dodge ram 😊
Outstanding, thanks for this video!
Thank you for this. Learned something and saved myself money too
Best video I've seen. But damn, that's a lot of work!
No kidding! Crap ton of work just to get the headlights off and cleaned
Thank you for the video very
Helpful THANKS Awesome.
Great video. Helped me change headlights without breaking anything!
Thanks alot now I know to take it to a mechanic 👍👍👍👍👍
So I took my truck to the shop to get some work done, and my headlamp is loose and part of it broken along with some damage to the bumper. It looks like the guys at the shop used a flat head screw driver to try to pop out the headlight. Now I’m really worried, guess I’ll be taking things off and apart to see the extent of the body damage. Thank you for the video.
Outstanding this really saved my azz. Thx bro
