Flickering Head Lights

[parness45]

As the new owner of a 2019 RAM Big Horn with the 5.7L Hemi, I am loving the truck as I just traded my Tundra in for it and love the RAM! Only thing that is confusing me is the flicker the Head Lights have while it is idling, when I shut the truck off the lights do not flicker anymore. Anyone out there come across this and if so, what the heck is the fix?

Please provide more information about your truck. Is your truck a 5th gen or 4th gen? In 2019, Big Horn models were available in 5th gen as well as in Classic (4th gen) models. You posted this in the 4th gen section so I would assume it's a Classic, but it's a common mistake to post in the wrong forum. It would also be helpful to know what type of headlights it has (halogen reflector, halogen projector, LED reflector), and if it has etorque if it's a 5th gen.

Did not realize I posted in the 4th Gen, it's a 5th Gen RAM 1500 Big Horn Sport Crew Cab 4x2 with just the standard 5.7l Hemi MDS VVT Engine/ The headlights look to be LED reflector. I attached the window sticker if this helps...

In looking at your window sticker I don't see anything to indicate you have the option for LED reflectors, which is an upgrade from the standard headlights. So I would assume you have the standard halogen reflectors unless a previous owner upgraded them at some point. If that's the case then knowing which headlights you have would be good to know as well. It's easy enough to tell them apart if you post a pic of your headlights. Having the correct information is pretty important when asking for help with any problem.

Here are the two possibilities your truck might have come with...
