What owners wrote

This has been an ongoing issue with poor headlights in my ram. We were on our way back to new york from florida and went from lewis delaware to cape may on the ferry. When we got off the ferry it was after 9:00 pm and was very dark. We proceeded to head for the beach area of cape may and my wife told me to turn the headlights on to which I responded they are on. I am 66 years old and have had 6 trucks starting in 1998 and many suv's. I have never had headlights that were anything like these.

The low beam projector head lights do not put out enough light to drive safely at night. Even on a clear night I have to put my fog lights on to be able to see the side of the road, if the road is wet with on coming traffic I just point the truck and hope for the best. I will not drive at night any more if I can help it. I have found an after market replacement bulb that may help.
