idk why i decided to watch this video. been a mechanic 38 years kid and ive never seen anyone explain an actual walk through as precise step by step as you. WOW keep up the good work, and wrench on Brother!!!!
I dont know why either but I am sure glad you did. Thanks for the comment and for taking the time to check the video out. Its much appreciated. Dont forget to subscribe and feel free to check my other newer videos out.
I have a 2015 ram with headlight out is why I watched. Now I know what I'll be encountering & hopefully not break any clips!
Great DIY video!
Thank you
Awesome video, almost took it to the dealership. After watching this video I repaired it for less than 50 dollars. I like how he took his time and explained everything.
I sure hope you know what a valuable service you are doing for so many folks with your excellent videos. Your ability to explain in a manner old guys like myself can follow and later execute is truly a gift. I have turned to your videos 2 times today alone with perfect results. Thank you doesn't seem sufficient but thank you.
Thanks Tim! I greatly appreciate the kind words. Glad to see that people are getting use out of the videos. Thanks again and make sure to subscribe if you havent already.
You saved me from getting gypped by the dealership. They wanted to charge $600 for the harness part and labor. After all, the only the wrong was a loss harness that needed to be secured. Thanks for this video! I've subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing. I hope that's your only issue. The common issue is that connector for the assembly. If you have further issues that I would start there
I'm a professional technician and this video is 100% spot on, to the point and easy to follow. The only way this video could have been more helpful is if you came and did the repair for the member. Thank You !
This isn't a repair. It's a bypass.
Thank you so much for showing what all to look for. Thankfully, my issue was simply the wiring harness was not fully connected. A little CRC electronic cleaner and dielectric grease to ensure a continued clean connection, and I'm back to 2 working headlights! Please keep up your great ram truck troubleshooting videos!
Awesome! Glad it was a simple fix and thank you very much for donation to the channel!
This advise is right on the money! saved me $ 300 +
Using an extension to my socket set from above allowed me to NOT remove the grill. THX Bro
Big Help...THANX.
Pretty much exactly as you said...except for 3 minor issues.
My truck is a 2015 RAM 2500 Laramie, 6.4L engine.
1. One screw on each side of housing cover was rusted(design flaw?)...couldn't remove...had to cut a slot with oscillating tool to remove screw with screwdriver...not too bad unless you don't have that tool.
2. Harness is a hassle to remove...need to pry gently to remove.
3. Bought wrong bulb...H11 didn't fit...Sylvania 9012 was perfect match...suggest removing bad bulb and lining up with new.
Replaced both sides...$35 total.
Dealer said $145 minimum labor, plus bulb cost.
Figure I saved at least $210.
Dealer was 1 week out for service.
Maybe 3 hours total...DIY.
Very Helpful.
Thanx.
Mark.
Above average handyman?!!!
Nothing like saving some money! Plus you learned something about your truck while doing the repair. Thanks for the comment and for watching the video
Thanks very much! You just saved me $300!!! Dealer was going to charge me 1.5 Hrs labour + 89$ for the wiring Harness. I will recommend you to my friends. Cheers!
Much appreciated sir. Thanks for using the video to perform the repair. Make sure to subscribe and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
You are correct! I spent that $300.00 the first time and now I have the problem again. Fixing it myself this time around
Great detailed video. I fixed mine last night. Only took about 30 minutes. Connector wasn't burned, but the pins fit a little loose in the sockets. I gave the pins a little twist with some needle-nosed pliers and used some dielectric grease. It works great now.
As a BMW Mechanic its always awesome to find a great video on a car I'm not familiar with, thanks!
Your welcome Dave. I did another follow up video on cutting out that connector and bypassing it so make sure to check that one out as well....that connector is the most common cause for lighting issues on that truck.
Excellent video ! Thank you, I will try this tommorow , as my passenger side low beam is out on my '15 Power Wagon
Many thanks for watching. I have a follow up video as well that is most likely the issue your having....here is the link: ruclips.net/video/v_rzPdT-UD4/видео.html . Make sure to subscribe!
Thank you for your instructional video on how to replace headlights on a Ram! Unfortunately the owners manual for a 2018 Ram 5500 doesn’t even tell what headlight bulbs are required, let alone instructions on how to replace them??? You saved me a lot of time and hassle on a very dark night!
Dude you are great! As a part time car dealer and Mopar guy I really appreciate your videos, thank you!
You are awesome thank you sir I’m a car technician from Iraq and have to pull my dash soon so thank you 😊
Excellent video. Thank you! I replaced the harness in the headlamp just as you explained---and I have working headlamp again. Your instructions are spot on and well presented.
I really do appreciate the the feedback Alan. Glad to see the video helping another person and that your issue is now fixed. Dont forget to subscribe and if you get some free time....check out my other videos as well.
Thank you for this video and information! It gave me the confidence to go ahead and take my headlight that had both beams not working out and look at the connectors/etc. It was easier than I anticipated it being. Unfortunately, there was no obvious problem, the connectors all looked great, but it's working again after I put a liberal amount of dielectric grease to the connectors and put it back together (hope it stays that way).
Chances are that the connector is the issue....we have alot of connection issues with those and the fix thats the cheapest in my opinion and best is to cut the connector out of the circuit and solder the related wires together and use some heat shrink with sealant in it. Thanks for commenting and make sure to subscribe.
Thanks a million-best video I've looked at for detail, clarity and explanations. I have a 2009 Dodge Ram that every 9-12 months my passenger headlight stops working and I have to access the headlamp assembly, jiggle the wires and voila, they work again. I have taped the heck out of them now at the connectors so maybe this will work for longer. Looks like the only difference in my '09 is that the headlamp assembly has 2, rather than 3 "arms".
Glad the video was related to your issue and you were able to take care of it. If it happens again then you know what to do. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
Paul in NC - Best 10 minutes I spent watching this video all year!! I replaced the whole headlight assembly in about 20 minutes.It was even easier than what your video looked like. Thank you and Happy New Year!!!
+office only Thanks Paul. Glad it went well. Most of the jobs in my videos are faster then I make them out to be. Mostly because I talk over each step. Some are obvious well others aren't so I still try to touch on each one. Make sure to subscribe because I have a lot more videos covering that truck. Have a great New Year and thanks again for watching.
Excellent video . With all the new Dodge Ram issues you will be making videos for years!. Well done, if i have a headlamp issue I now know how to take the system apart.
I dont see alot of issues but like brand on the market...you come across some from time to time. Theres a reason all the dealers have service departments.....because no brand is perfect lol. Thanks Scott for watching and for the comment. Make sure to subscribe!
this guy is good. A complement from a 40 year retired Chevy tech.
+jeff beeh Thanks Jeff. Its always good to hear from my peers. I appreciate the comment and make sure to subscribe
Great step by step took like 15 minutes to replace my burned out bulb. Thanks
Good explanation of actually changing the bulb, as well as other possible causes to look for as to why the lights not working. Video from another shop showed how to get the assembly out, but not how to actually change the bulb
I just did mine, it was the bulb. Thanks a million man.
I should donate to your channel
Sub'd. I have to admit, when you talked about issues other than "bulb out", I thought you were just rattling off the usual mechanic schtick to run up the bill ... but you were spot-on (in my case). I watched your video after realizing I'd be better off replacing my own bulb than taking it somewhere. I bought a bulb for my 2012 Ram 1500, assuming my bulb was burnt-out. Before I opened the packaging, I juggled the connection and the light came on; the connection had come loose. You know your stuff and I humbly submit my apology. Sub'd.
No need for the apology. Its a fairly common issue as you just witnessed. I cant tell you how many people replaced the bulb before coming to the shop. We have a few vehicles with connector issues, not all at the headlight....some at the connectors under the seat. None the less.....the method of repair is the same....cut the connector out of the circuit and solder the wires back together. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and also to tell me how it went. Thanks for subscribing as well. Dont forget to check my other videos out....they may help you in the future as well.
regardless of what some think of THEIR dodge truck, this video on how to troubleshoot a headlight is precise, informative and to the point without a lot of fluff and stalling...... unlike MOST videos here on youtube.
one thing I would add to the video is to use some dielectric grease on the contacts as this helps keep contact between the pins, and helps dissipate any heat that is produced from a connection that may be less than solid..... important, DO NOT get any grease or fingerprints on the glass part of the bulb
Thanks for the support.....your correct that the videos are to inform people and give advice and show repairs. I get people get upset about problems and then want to go on and on about it......the video isnt about that. There is an issue....this is how you can fix it and then move on to driving the truck and enjoying it. I have learned there is no such thing as a perfect car brand. They all have issues and they all use the same suppliers for their parts. The dielectric grease is a great tip that I should have included as well....thanks for pointing that out! Thanks again Greg for watching and make sure to subscribe!
Very clear replacing harness. And troubleshooting.
Great instructions. Just upgraded bulbs on my 2015. Only difference is the wheel-well cover is secured with a plastic trim fastener
+phayzer5 Thanks for watching and for the follow up. Glad to see that the video helped. If you don't mind....reply back with the bulbs you used and what the upgrade was (ex: brighter) so that the other viewers that read the comments may gain some info from your experience. Thanks again
MotorCity Mechanic I used Sylvania Silverstar H11 and 9005 bulbs with the factory 2-bulb housing in my Big Horn. They're approx. 4000k temperature bulbs, so they appear whiter than stock and im my previous experiences illuminate the road for a greater distance from a slight boost in brightness.
+phayzer5 Awesome. Thanks for the info and for helping your fellow viewers
Tonight I noticed how Dim my 2011 Ram 3500 Headlights are.... Can't live with it... Planning some sort of upgrade as I type this. Loving the Videos, Thanks.
Aubrey Roche Appreciate you checking out the video!
Great video! Probably the most comprehensive one I've seen yet, with nice stable camera work. Cheers!!
Allen Cooper Thanks Allen! One thing I hate to watch is a camera or phone that's moving all over the place. Thanks for the feedback! Make sure to subscribe!
MotorCity Mechanic done deal!
Allen Cooper Many thanks
Nicely done David! This problem is not unique to DCJ vehicles.. I've repaired the same problem on Toyota/Scion and Ford! Keep up the good work man. You're helping a lot of people to save a TON of money!! Thumbs up to you..
Awesome feedback. Apparently the same company makes all the wiring harnesses lol. I do appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching and for the comment. Dont forget to subscribe
This dude may be the best on the net. Top notch
Many thanks! I appreciate the great feedback. Dont forget to subscribe if you havent already.
Thanks Bud. Was a nice refresher course..not as bad as it sounds at first.
Your welcome Nick! Thanks for checking that video out.
Just recently added another video that covers the repair of the main connector that I mentioned in the video. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/v_rzPdT-UD4/видео.html
I have a 2014 3500 that the headlight just went out last night. Looks simple enough when you break it down like that. I get condensation a lot in both headlight assemblies. Had a guy take a tiny drill and drill a hole in lowest part of headlight to drain water. Got this truck last January, had 65K miles on it. Now has 172K miles on it. I run him hard and want to take good care of him.
Appreciate you watching. It’s common for the wiring issue on these for sure.....can also be just a bulb as well
@@MotorCityMechanic That's what I'm hoping it is. I don't have $700+ for a new assembly. Have to wait til Monday to fix it, unleas I can do it in the parking lot for Auto Zone and see if they can help me. Could I get that little wiring harness there too if needed?
@@MotorCityMechanic Hey. Yeah, it was actually the bulb. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Got that done. Have had to replace a couple bulbs now. So now I have a new issue. On the driver side (luckily I don't have to replace it right now [knock on wood] or I'd be in a big mess), the top 10mm bolt you have to unscrew to take the housing out-spins... The square nut surrounded by plastic is spinning in place. Either I cross-threaded it the last time I changed out the light (I don't think so, but I'm not perfect), or the last place did it. Anyway, how do I get it out? I tried using a pair of small needle nose pliers, but it cracked one side of the little holdy places [that obviously doesn't hold it now], and still spins. I was suggested to use some J-B Water Weld to try to make new side pieces and of course to replace the bolt as well. Do you have a better idea? Do you know what/where I'm talking about?
Thank you. Removal of grill seemed overkill, but grill removal was easy, and the rest obvious. 2012 1500 crew cab
Your videos have saved me a conaiderable amount of money thank you very much for your hard work and effort in providing exceptional quality videos.
Thank you a thousand times.
Saved me from buying high and low beam bulbs.
Followed your instructions and it turned out to be the main PIN connector.
separated it and reconnected several times to clean pins.
WORKS GREAT
Thanks again.

Great! Glad that its working now. There is always the chance that it may happen again. If it does then you will need to bypass that connector. I did a follow up video showing the actual repair I just mentioned. Here is the link incase you need it in the future: ruclips.net/video/v_rzPdT-UD4/видео.html .

Great Video and awsome job explaining how to fix the headlight! I wish Dodge was as easy as my old Chevy to replace the bulb in the headlight insane how many bolts you have to take out to just get to the headlight! Ha. Thanks again
No doubt.....some things become easier while others not. Thanks for watching Robby and make sure to subscribe.
Great video. You proceeded at a moderate pace, no useless info.
Thanks Joe for the feedback. Make sure to subscribe and share the videos.
The bottom 10 mm bolt can be removed with an extension instead of removing the grill.
I was also going to mention that. It's pretty easy to remove the headlights without removing the grille on newer Ram trucks.
@@ccrider77 please make a video and post it.
You just saved my weekend, my dealership was trying to convince me that I had a bad electric panel and it would cost me 12000
Ouch. Cant believe that the dealership hasnt come across this repair. None the less.....thanks for finding the video and for the comment. Nothing like saving money. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
Awesome Video... Quick and to the point!!! You did an excellent job!! Just purchased a 2012 Ram 4x4.. Wanted to know how to replace the bulbs for future use!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the cool comment. Always glad to help. Check out my other videos as well. I have alot more related to your vehicle and dont forget to subscribe!
Great video! I was unable to figure out how to get the grille unhooked at the bottom but was still able to get the light assy out anyway. Found a chafed/broken turn signal wire which I will fix tomorrow (solder and shrink tubing as recommended) after I pick up some 24 awg wire. Really appreciate your videos. I am now a subscriber.
Thank you very much for subscribing. Glad you found your issue and are repairing it the correct way.
I really appreciate your excellent, thorough description of the work you are doing as you go. Thank you.
MotorCity Mechanic - I have a couple electrical issues with my 2011 Ram 2500. Like to talk to you about it. You seem to know more than some of the mechanics around here!
I have a 2007 dodge 2500 with same problem and its affected a huge amount of dodge owners, I cant believe dodge hasn't fixed it yet and still having a high number of problems with tipm. I love my dodge only because it has a 5.9 cummins. probably wont buy another due to the host of problems electrical/mechanical Ive had with my truck!
You look like a top notch pro...deserve the good bucks...your video helped me a lot.
Many thanks! Appreciate those kind words.
Ive been watching how to videos a while now and you by far are the best. Step x step .
David , Thanks for sharing it with us. Yeah, I have that problem with the "08 drivers side head light. Sometimes it works and some times it goes out when a Police cruiser is watching me go by.
NH Hbbyloggr I haven't seen the melted connector before and actually caught me off guard when making the video....that I was going to be talking about the external connector issue. I had to edit out the "what the hell?" lol.
MotorCity Mechanic That's how it works sometimes. While I was watching your video I could see the surprise on your face and I said to myself " What the hell !" You must either own the repair shop or the boss is very reasonable about letting you take the time to shoot these tutorials. Thanks goes out to you guys for doing it for us. It's a BIG help for those of us who like turning wrenches .
NH Hbbyloggr My boss is cool with the videos.....at times he even uses the videos to help people as well. I give him 100% and he knows it so it doesn't become an issue. I try not to rush the videos when I can and hope it doesn't show when I do. None the less the responses I get from you and others makes it worth it.
+MotorCity Mechanic I had always wondered about how that works at your job. That's great that your boss is so supportive! If I was in the area I'd definitely come to your shop.
I have heard of other youtubers having issues with their employers not being as supportive. I can say I am lucky to have the product at hand so I always have subject matter.....just squeezing in the time to film can be an issue at times. I should make a video of making a video. It can be funny as hell sometimes. Actually got enough out takes and bloopers to put something together. Thanks for watching
Thumbs up! Thanks for the speedy reply, David.
Your welcome!
I have a 2011 2500 and have had the headlights out of it a few times. It doesn't require removing the grill on that model year. Two bolts and it pops right out.
Excellent instruction. Easy to understand, hard not to follow. Thank you.
+Curt Markey Glad the video was helpful. Thanks for watching and I will see you at work tomorrow haha!
David
Great job. You just made my day. Headed out to repair my head light. You made it look easy with your simple details. Thanks Leo D
+Leo Deistler Awesome. Let me know what you find as the problem. Thanks again for watching and make sure to subscribe
Fault at the quick disconnect to the wire harness to the light.
Leo Deistler Good job finding it. Thanks for the update. When the issue is at the connector going to the headlamp assembly and not the bulb. I cut the connector out of the circuit and solder the wires back together so no more issues. If you ever have to replace the headlamp assembly then you will have to cut the wires but the odds are very low of ever replacing so this way it cost you no money at all and the light is back to working again.
what a great job. thank you so much for this informative video. now I can approach my dodge ram truck headlight issues with confidence. I would rate this a a+ .
Awesome....appreciate the high rating! I try to make the videos to be worth watching so that your not wasting your time. Glad to see that they are appreciated. Make sure to subscribe and check out my other videos.
I think Im having the same problem because both high and low beam went out at the same time in one headlight. Thanks for the video!!
Your welcome! Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
I had this happen but for me its all my light except for my turn signals and one high beam still dont know why tho
Thanks I love your videos nice clear and useful just saved me 300 bucks keep them coming
Your welcome. Any chance to save money is fine by me. Thanks for checking the video out. Subscribe and check out my other videos as well.
Thanks brother, I just took my headlight apart and all it was, was loose wiring. Money saved!!!!
No money spent is always great. Thanks for the comment and make sure to subscribe
For sure!!!!
Thank you for video helps a lot because I couldn't change a customer bulb no idea how to now I know how to thank you
Your welcome James. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
Holy Crap Batman!!! You mean that when the day comes that I need to replace a bulb on my 2014 RAM 1500 I'm going to either have disassemble the front end myself or take the truck to a dealer or trustworthy garage to get it done?
Some people take the grill off and others not....but none the less it takes about 5 minutes to get the headlamp off to get to the bulb.....anyone can do it and its simple enough, not as simple as reaching behind to get to the bulb but that would be just to easy.
Thanks for showing ALL the details to get the grill and headlight out!
+twvette Your very much welcome. Thank you for taking the time to find and watch the video. Make sure to subscribe if you haven't already and spread the word by sharing these videos with others. Thanks again and enjoy the weekend
Concise...Competent...Excellent instruction! Subscribed.
Many many thanks Will. Appreciate the subscribing and the comment.
Great Job..Thanks I Have 4 of these Trucks in my Fleet..Now I Have a better idea on what to look for
The grill doesnt have to come off to access the headlight bolts. A 10 mm wrench for the top bolt, and a long extension/ socket for the bottom bolt. I just replaced both of my headlight bulbs, 5 days apart, within the last week. Although, removing the grill might make it easier to pry and remove the headlight assembly. I did in fact have some difficulty removing it and replacing it with the grill and place.
FYI Trucks with projector style headlights don't use this style bulb(uses 9012 for low beam), housing or wiring harness. Removal process is the same though.
The video probably does no justice to this observation but it looks like under sized wires. Every splice ( aka connector) equals loss which produces heat. I have noticed way undersized wiring on loads of newer vehicles. But awesome video.
The thing I have noticed is that certain vehicles have certain issues usually relayed to one connector. The Chrysler 200's and Dodge Chargers are known to have an airbag code that sets due to a connector under either front seat. If you just touch it....it will cause the code to go away. Once again just like the Ram headlamp issues.....the cause is a connector. For what ever reason.....it seems to be a pin fitment issue. Once the connectors are cut of out of the harness and the corresponding circuits soldered together.....no more issues. Thanks for watching and for the comment. Make sure to subscribe Joseph and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
I've watch a couple of your videos. Great job!
I wish I had read/seen this earlier. My 2012 Ram 3500 is in the shop now having the wiring harness replaced to both headlights...$475.
I too wish you had come across it and the other video I did on how to bypass the connector. I hate seeing people having to spend so much when they could have taken care of it for less than a few dollars. Make sure to subscribe and check out my other videos so that you have the heads up incase something else happens in the future.

Glad you got it fixed. Thanks for the information. Dont forget to subscribe if you havent already.
very good explanation enjoyed watching it
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for the comment
This video was linked from a Dodge forum. It was supposed to show how to convert a dual bulb system to a quad bulb system. As far as I could tell, this has nothing to do with that issue.
David...do you have a step by step video showing the method for adjusting head light projection and adjustment for Dodge Ram 2012 Laramie Longhorn 1500. Thank you for the detail you put into these tutorial helps. Regards, Brooks

@@MotorCityMechanic I had water in my headlight. With your video I was able to easily remove it, open the back and allow it to dry out. Then I silicon around the seam. Its been good now for 3 weeks! Thanks so much! It saved me $$$$!
@@JanetAlexanderJewelry Awesome. If it happens again then remove it and drill a small hole on the lower side out of sight. We might now be able to stop the water from getting in but we will be able to control where it goes and stop it from collecting inside. Much cheaper then replacing the assembly. Thanks for the reply!
Holy shit Chrysler made all this a pain in the ass. I miss my mid 2000's GMC that was just a plug and twist to replace head light bulbs
It’s isn’t just Chrysler theses days. I have had the same issue on other brands as well. Some harder then others. Wish it was like it was many years ago as well
So you just replaced parts. But is the issue that causes the heat and melting of terminal connectors repaired? So the issue doesn’t repeat with new parts.
Great video and a good teacher thanks
Your welcome and thank you for checking it out. Appreciate it Tony.
I needed to know about the clip ( connector. ) and why mine isn't going back together correctly.
When disconnecting and REMOVING the light.
Fantastic Video!!!! I love the step by step process!!
+Shawn Manning Thanks Shawn, Glad you liked. Make sure to subscribe and have a great thanksgiving
Great video! I had the issue where I thought it was only the low beam bulb out so I replaced it...well a week later it's out again...BUT now I noticed the high beams don't work either. I didn't think to check the wiring harness pins. What can be done to help connections on the pins? Thanks again for a great video!
Morning Silas. About the pin fitmant. On the main connector leading to the headlamp assembly....I cut the male and female connector out of the circuit and solder the wires to their related wire. No more connection issues ever lol. Thanks and make sure to subscribe
Silas Wiater
Try not to break thew tabs on the bottom of the grill. There are four of them. Two of them snap-in on both ends, two of them are "slots". They WILL break.
Give it some age and it will for sure. I fully agree. Thanks for watching and for the comment. Make sure to subscribe.
My 2012 ram has a 3 way harness. The headlights work whenever they want to . Constantly 1 or both not working. I've literally turned them on, they both went out same time. Driving me insane. I'll see if O'Reilly's has a replacement harness for both sides
great, straight forward vid
thanks so much...gonna pull it apart tonight and check
+racetattoo666 cool. Let me know if you see anything obvious.
hey it worked on the right side...gonna do the left side tonight thanks again
it worked buddy thanks
Thanks for the video ! Had no idea I had to do all this just to change a bulb.....engineering surely have improved 🤣🤣🤣🤣.not !
Excellent!! Thanks!!!!
Much appreciated
Thank God for youtube and trhis video. I would have NEVER figured this out before I took the whole front end apart. This is just one more reason to not like Dodge.
Thanks for watching and for commenting. Make sure to subscribe.
Dodge doesn't build trucks anymore dumbass... yeah go buy a Ford so you can have the heads pulled off when you have to change the spark plugs...
I might suggest using thin gloves when handling bulbs as natural body oils might reduce the life span of bulbs.
You are absolutely correct! Thanks for adding that comment
Excellent video , Thanks !
Thanks!
No….thank you!
Love the video, helped me a lot today, but would like to know how to bypass the wire connector harness to run directly, I went to dealer and I would have to buy all new headlight assembly $320 just to have a the wire parts that go to the light bulbs
