Headlight issue / recommendations?

[mrbillohnoooo]

Hi: New poster on this forum. I have a 2011 Ram 1500 Sport - 4 light system. Driver side low AND high beams are out, but the DRL light is still working. I put in Beamtech LED about 2 years ago for the low beam, and I'm surprised it's already out. I have 3 questions:
1. Is this something more than just bulb replacement? i.e. connection issue?
2. If it's just bulb replacement, and if I'm going through the effort to take the grill off, should I replace blinker bulbs as well? they seem to be relatively inexpensive.
3. If it's just bulb replacement, what do you recommend for each (low, and high beams)? I'd like to stick with LED as I hear the halogen don't have nearly the brightness or life expectancy.

Thanks.

Wow, been a member since the end of 2019 and this is your first post? Now that's discipline LOL.
I don't have any answers for you because most of my experience comes from 5th gens. Since you're asking about a 2011 you might have better luck asking this question in the 4th gen forum.

LOL got it moved.

As for the light question, I doubt there is any other issue going on. There are so many LEDs out there with varying levels of quality. If you liked the ones you used previously, I would give them another shot.

I have been running Supernova V4s now for about three years and they have been great. My only complaint is the price of them compared to other LED options out there.

Thanks, G-Ride and Mikeru! One would assume that I have a problem free truck if I haven't posted since day 1, but sadly not the case. Learning my way around this forum and appreciate the assistance.
