Default Warning Lights

I noticed that the driver side headlight lamp is out. Does the dash indicate warning when the light build goes out?

Also is there a brake warning sensor for front and rear when the brakes wear past a certain point?

Thanks

If the headlamp was out and there were no warning lights, then no. Yes, Brake pads have warning indicators built into them. They will make a distinctive, abnormal sound when the pads wear to the point that they should be replaced.

Thanks for the response. Can anyone provide me K value for the bulb. I see it's suppose to be a D3S bulb but can't find any mention of the what the oem K value is?

The bulb numbers should be listed in your owners manual. For my 2013 Crew they are all listed under the "Maintaining your vehicle" section (H11 for Lows and 9005 for high beams).
Otherwise you can go to one of many online auto part or bulb manufacturer websites and look-up the number by vehicle or VIN.

You really should plan to replace both bulbs at the same time since if one failed, the other probably is not far behind. Also, this way both bulbs should have the same color temperature. The stock color temperature is probably around 4300K. I put 6000K in my Durango a few years ago and that was noticeably "cooler" than the stock color temperature.

The "cooler" color is definitely nice in my opinion.

I recently replaced all the stock bulbs with LED; happy with the results so far. Noticeably brighter/clearer.

Thanks for the feedback guys. The stock bulb is a HID DS3. I see many options on Amazon. Anyone recommend a particular type/vendor they purchased from and are happy with?
