Check your headlight arrangement by turning them on (Low beam), look at them, then turn on the high beam. If another bulb lights up then you have the two bulb, high/low system.

If the same bulb that lit up on low lights up on high, then you have the 9005 dual filament bulb.

9005s are not dual filament(High and Low) bulbs. Those should be your high beams, the 9012 are the projector bulb(low beam).
It is obvious if you have dual headlights. There is just one bulb in the middle of the housing.
Starting with 2016 projectors, 9005 are used in both High and Projector(Low)

We do not make a 9005 double filament bulb. The 9005 is a single filament capsule only.

9005s are not dual filament(High and Low) bulbs.

Correct.

According to our master application guide, we spec the 9005s for High Beam application in the '14s with projector headlights and the 9012s for Low Beam application.

Send an corporate email to your web division that the website shows two listings for the 2014 RAM with projectors, one of which is wrong. That is what confused the OP.

I installed the Sylvania ZXE's in my high beams and I'm now satisfied with the headlights.
