Hello. I'm posting about an audible noise from my headlights. I have a 2021 ram 1500 classic warlock, when the headlights are on it sounds like a motor or fan or something, you can hear it outside the vehicle as well as inside. And after a little while of them being on, it sounds like the motor battery is getting low.. it is very strange. At first its a constant humming type noise. After a while it sounds like its losing power. Anyone know wtf that is about? And can I get different headlights to eliminate the noise? Thanks.

Are you the original owner?

The only thing that comes to mind is that if the OE incandescent Halogen headlight bulbs were upgraded to aftermarket LED bulbs, the incorporated cooling fan in the base might be approaching failure.
