- If you have condensation, water or moisture in your Ram headlights this video will show you how to remove your grill and headlights and a easy way to dry them out. You will still have to figure out how the water or condensation is getting in the lights but if your lucky like I was it will be a quick and easy fix. Ram 1500, Ram 2500, Ram 3500 (If I can do it so can you!)

The reason this is creating moisture is because your vents (the little brown plugs - 3 each) are plugged up or pushed too far in. Pull them out, clean them and just put them in. They are vents for the lights as they heat up and cool down with humidity.
Do you have to take the whole headlight out?
Unfortunately it’s way easier to access by taking out the entire light assembly.
Dr Jackson is correct, these headlights need to breathe and sealing them completely is a bad idea. Mopar TSB 08-086-13 talks about headlamp fogging occurring normally from time to time. Excess water build up is indicative of a lens seal failure.
I agree with you 100%.
The guy didn’t even fix the problem!
The only thing he was right about was the gasket that goes on the back of the headlight other than that the brown caps are the vents to keep the unit breathing. Sometimes due to time and weather condition the little brown caps start rattling around and closing off the vent. You can use a very small dab of super glue or gorilla glue to keep the Caps from rattling loose again.
Thanks so much! 2018 Ram 1500. Same issue, same light. Threw up a Hail Mary before buying a new assembly & came across your video & you saved me not only a lot of money but a lot of of time AND made me look cool in front of the wife for “DIY” approach. So thank you for figuring that out! Definitely a new subscriber!
That’s awesome and glad I was a part of making you look cool. Thank you for watching, your comment and the super thanks 🙏
Love the videos as always Cory, Marcie is too gorgeous. Details and explanation is everything. Thanks for sharing. ☺️💕
Thank you DeAnna for watching and your comment 🙂
How detailed you demonstrateed it' was AWESOME❗👍👍
Thank you very much
Great video, helped he out tremendously.
I just wanna say thank you very f…g much!!!
My ram looks cool now 😢. The people at the dealership didn’t want to help.
Oh but to buy the car from them they offered everything but now they don’t even answer.
You’re awesome bro, thanks again 🙏🏼
But they can getcha a great deal on a new truck.
Don't forget to get the TruCoat.

That was a very clever little fix. Nice job !! 👍🏻😃 Trev
Thank you and thank you for watching us.
Thanks a lot for a great and fun explanation of how to get the lights out - what a hassle!
Thank you
Not need to remove the grill just a long extension, will do the trick, with you socket.
Thank you so much for the video but here in the states it's freaking cold to deal with this shit waiting on warmer temperatures thanks again will save this video when its time to do it.
Thank you 🙏
Hey Cory and Marcie! Geez, nothing like dismantling half of the front end on your truck to fix the condensation problem! I’m seeing on TH-cam that the Promaster chassis [that so many Class B manufacturers use] have the same problem…guess what!…yup, I’ll be buying a Class B (hopefully soon) built on the Promaster chassis as well. Must’ve been a Dodge architect who had a bad day with a hangover when he drew up the plans! I just love having problems before I even obtain the ‘problem maker’! 😂😂😂. Good to see y’all again! Stay safe and happy travels! ~Jim~
Thank you for watching Jim, we always like reading your comments on our videos. You stay safe as well.
@@clammi 👍👍👍
10mm w extension I know worked on the Passenger side instead of taking grill off. Hope it works for drivers side too
Omg Thank You 🙏🏼
Nice video. On a RAM 3500 it is possible to the lower bolt without removing the grill. When replacing the lower bolt I taped it to the socket so it stayed using blue painters tape. Also there are 3 light brown colored caps that vent the headlight assembly. It’s a good idea to pop them off and check the black insert to be certain they are not clogged.
Thank you for watching and the information about the caps. So far so good. But if I have a problem again I will check the caps for sure. Thanks again
It literally takes a minute to pop the grill off....and the dust cover doesn't take much more time.
Do they have vents I have a 2018 ram 1500 thanks for the
Hiw do I readjust the projector after it falls from over adjusting it
Can you watch a video on how to coil your extension cord please?
😂😂 mine looks the same😂😂
The reason it gets full of condensation is because there are o think 3 plugs on the back of yhe headlight. These are vents and for some reason the caps got pushed in too far and closes off vent not allowing cavity to breath. You have to pull these caps out so they are fully retracted but stiill in plug hole and you won't have any more problems 😊😊
Do you happen to be current or ex leo?
why didnt he address the vents ?
I heard it was that the vents were pushed in too far...I don't think this is a permanent fix? There is a bulletin about this problem with these lights.
Thank you. I’m hearing the same thing
@@clammi My driver side headlight is doing the same thing...on the hunt for a fix myself haha. They don't make the ones I have for my 2015 anymore...new one has a black ring on it. $900/one. Ouch.
@@adamwarrick2970 I have a 2014 Ram Sport and my driver side projector housing has the same problem with the moisture in the housing. It seems to be an issue with the 4th Gen Rams. 😒 🤔
Yes I agree. I’ve heard a lot of them have the same problem
I had to replace mine. $900 later...truck is a cyborg...lol. Honestly, you can hardly tell unless you knew it...
Your problem could've been the air vents were too tight. This is a common problem on these 4th gens. Always the driver side. Theres like 3-4 vents thats pushed in too tight at the back and needs to be pull out a bit for the headlight to breath.
Stupid plastic headlight pods are garbage. Bring back the old glass sealed beam. Not only do they not fog or scratch, they melt off snow and ice.
If you have black mold growing inside anyway of cleaning it out
But u did not solve the issue😅
So you never actually fixed the problem
Just dried them
Out
If I had to remove the whole headlights out like that, I rather replace it with a brand new one.
I was quoted $900 for the light plus 2 hrs install.. for that ill try my hair dryer😅
I'd rather get a whole new truck, lol
