headlights burn out frequently

[Doug in Oregon]

HEllo, my headlights don't tend to las long. I use high quality bulbs and wear gloves so I don't get skin oil on the bulbs. But it seems that one bulb will burn out and they should last longer than they are. Anyone experience this?

You have OEM headlights or aftermarket?

Above is the first question to answer. Also what type of housings? What type and wattage of bulbs? How soon are they blowing? Is it always one side or both? Do the connectors looked discolored or burned inside or outside?

The more information you can give us, the better.

I have not experienced this, my 2015 has the basic "quad" halogen reflectors and shortly after buying the truck I put low-glare low beams (wagner) and high intensity high beams (philips) . It is now eight years later and those bulbs remain functional and their brightness has not diminished enough to make me want to replace them.
The bulb voltage on 4th gen Ram trucks is regulated and you can adjust it using JSCAN, so if you want you can review regulator voltage and if it's too high, drop it a little. Dropping the voltage will reduce the intensity of the lamps but will also extend their life. If you see that somehow the regulated voltage right now is something crazy like 16v that would surely explain your complaint.
