Any known issues with oem projector headlights

[SeaRefractor]

While not a solution for your problem but I do see you have ordered a set, I love my AlphaRex Pro headlights. If they don't work on install, you'll need to troubleshoot your harnesses/wiring. If they work, great! Then it was something with the OEM housing internal wiring or something.

have you guys ever figured out this issue?

2014 ram oem projectors
Hid kit from retroshop ran great for years

One low beam went out a couple months ago
Tried replacing the bulb and that didn’t fix it
Replaced HID parts and didn’t fix it
Swapped the working headlight to the non working side to eliminate possibilities and the headlight worked.

After I tried plugging it back in to the correct side it stopped working now neither low beam is working.

Electrical issue? Too hot in Vegas and circuit boards are going bad?
I have some alpharex led headlights coming Thursday. Are my oem headlights garbage?

Mine were the ignitors. $25 fix per side

What's an ignitor?

What's an ignitor?

HID lamp ignitors provide a brief, high voltage pulse or pulse train to breakdown the gas between the electrodes of an arc lamp. Pulses can range from several hundred volts to 5KV.

Plugs into your HID bulb

Yeah, my lights are halogen projector types. Dealer is chasing an electrical issue to figure out why in the heck the driver side light goes out intermintently.

Changed out bulbs that did not change anything, still no low beams. Gonna go back out and check fuses.


I checked F10 and F14 they looked good. Unplugged the battery to try to reset the bcm.

I know I'm late to the party, but "visual" check of a fuse is not a good test. You want at minimum a continuity meter/checker. Preferably a way to put a small load on it, make sure it isn't some ****/loose crap that happens to "land" just right, but an ohm meter/continuity is minimum required to check a fuse.

Your 2015 Ram is different that others concerning its headlights. My son's 2015 Ram Sport was having the same exact problem with the drivers light going out intermittently. Here's a good article concerning the 2015 problem: https://blog.betterautomotivelighting.com/2015-dodge-ram-led-and-hid-problems-solved

I ordered the following relay for him and so far he hasn't had any problems. It's actually quite simple to install. https://www.headlightrevolution.com/hd-relay-9005-H-9005_2?quantity=1

Hope this helps.

The 2015 Ram's BCM were notorious for the headlights going out with a different bulb set up. They did not work well with anything but the halogen's they came stock with. Some exciters and relays worked, but they also were a hit and miss item for a constant working headlight.
