  • Step by step guide (all you need to know) how to remove headlights and change bulbs for RAM 1500 / 2500 / 3500 trucks, year 2014 - 2018.
    This video will show you how to remove the GRILL first, then the headlights, and finally how to remove the bulbs (both high and low beam bulbs).
    Here are the super bright LED bulbs I recommend for the RAM 1500/2500/3500 trucks:
    For low beam 9012 HIR12 (only $36.95):
    These Hikari LED bulbs are very nice and bright:
    amzn.to/2LiAvce
    For high beam 9005 HB3 (only $29.95):
    These Car Rover 9005 HB3 are the brightest at 12,000 lumens:

    Great Video, thank you for sharing this information. A shame they make replacing a light bulb this complicated now.

      You are right, I used to be able to just reach in and twist to replace headlight bulbs. I guess just like everything else in the world (got more complicated by the day).

      Once you get the whole entire unit off, you can easily access the turn signal bulb from the back of the unit.

      @fiveowaf454 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@bigbullhitches2396 I didn't have the time to research LED's because unfortunately I needed to be up and running with a working light asap, but assuming the side replaced a while a go is going to fail here soon based on past performance, the LED's are in my future, the stock bulbs are not exactly cheap, so a long lasting LED would have a number of benefits. In addition to the short life, they always seem to fail at the most inopportune moment when I'm on a long journey and it's not an easy 2 minute fix on the side of the road. Of course you can always have it done at the dealership, like I did once because I was in for a service anyway, in which case they can break all the radiator grill clips for you and say nothing :) so you only notice it much later when you see the grill is loose and they can lie to you and say the only remedy is a new grill :(

      @Mike Purcell sorry about not being able to show that part. Are you talking about the harness that connects the entire headlight assembly to the truck? If so, yes you need a small flat head screw driver to pry up a plastic tab to unplug that harness.

      It can be done without removing the grill. You just need a long extension to reach that bottom bolt from directly overheard.
