Headlight issue I can't see in the dark
Maybe I am going blind in my young age but when I drive at night I was having a real hard time seeing. I looked at my head lights and could see the right hand side one was very dim. It was also very cool to the touch and not putting out any where as much heat as the other headlight.Any way a cop also agreed and pulled me over last night about it.
How easy is it to change a 1997 Dodge headlights ? I was reading and also heard it might be a ground issue ideas ?

I agree with you stewie. Plastic doesn't discolor and they seem just as bright. But I guess that's our improved technology lol. Op the bulbs are easy enough to change out. New housings are relatively cheap on eBay if they are really shot. If the plastic is just cloudy and dull looking instead of clear you can get a headlight restore kit. I used the 3m kit and was pretty happy with it

Don't waste your money on new bulbs. There is an electrical issue with the right hand side headlamp. Mine is a mess. I'm suspecting a bad ground. I need to pull a harness at the junkyard and pull mine apart. I'm also suspecting the factory wiring harness is too small a gauge wire and that leaves the passenger side light low on power. Easy enough to check with a meter but I haven't messed with it yet. Three bulbs didn't change anything on mine.
I own and have driven Chevy Caprices for years. I thought they had the worst stock headlights. I was wrong. The Ram has awful headlights.
