Hey guys,
I wanted to see if anyone here could help me out. I have a 2021 Ram 1500 Bighorn and I installed aftermarket LED bulbs about five months ago. Everything has been fine until a couple weeks back the passenger side headlight stopped working. I installed one of the OEM H11 halogen bulbs in there for the time being and it worked for the last two weeks. Then all of a sudden that halogen bulb stopped working as well.
I checked the H11 halogen bulb in the fog light socket and they work just fine. I then checked the headlight wire with my test light and I’m getting power and I put a voltmeter on it and I’m getting 12V. I plugged in one of the other LED aftermarket bulbs into the passenger headlight and it was very dimly lit. I feel that I’m not getting enough amperage pushed to that bulb even though I am getting 12V.
So I am scratching my head, any thoughts?
Did the LED bulbs cause an issue after several months? Is this possibly an issue with the BCM?
Any help would be appreciated before I have no choice but take it to the dealer.
Thanks!
Tony
