I was wondering if anyone has a schematic on how to remove the headlight assembly to replace headlight bulbs with new brighter ones. Because all I can see is 1 bolt on each and I know it's gotta be more than just that.

If it the same as the other years take off radiator cover thing
the bolts on top of the grill
pull the grill off
The 2 screws on the headlight
Look at the wheel well liner and if there's a access panel then there's a tab you have to pull to release the headlight the end lol

Yes, the idea of having us remove the entire grille just to get to a couple of screws, only to THEN have us remove the entire headlight assembly to get to the bulb... That has to be some left-over German idea from previous Chrysler ownership.. lol

Yeah, I'm not sure what the engineers were smoking when they came up with that. The Ram is the first vehicle I've ever owned that you can't just pop in a bulb from under the hood in the parking lot of an auto store if needed.

Wow. That does sound like a pain. That was one thing I loved about my Silverado. I pulled a pin and the whole assembly came right out. High and low beams. Lol.

I just did my 2014 Ram 2500 4x4 Tradesman I just did the left side to hook up my KC driving and fog light pairs. It was a total pain in the ass and I have a brushguard installed as well so I had to remove. I had to take out the wheel well liner to get to the bolts and the white plastic square thing have to push up on it to release the assembly. I think there was a total of 6 bolts 10mm after you drop the wheel well liner. There was a plastic bracket that came out as well. Then there are 2 cap things you swist out and then you can get to the bulbs that twist out. The parking lights are on the outside just turn it down and It comes out. The high beam is the botton cap and low beam is the top one.
There is another post in the 4th gen DIY section but it is on a 2012 not the 2014.
It is very simular but the 2014 has more bolts and different procedures to get it out. Hope this helps yall with this just a reminder this is a total pain in the ass not a 5 minute job to change bulbs on my 2008 Ram 1500
