I know and its a 1100$ rip off. Its plastic with cheap leds.. my head light blew out and i have to buy a new one since dodge loves looking for any reason not to warranty anything.
@@BeaglerBassFishingOutdoors The bad news is that this is now "industry standard". Most of the manufacturers have moved to sealed LED headlights that have little to no serviceable parts. These are now just considered "lifetime" parts. I suspect that once we start to hit sometime around 2030 ish, a broken headlight will total a vehicle and send it to the scrap yard.
@@gftgrill i agree.. hard to find one used.. but if there un serviceable why make a vid on taking them apart?? And that front glass was also glued in why didnt you go over the process of removing it. I doubt it was just screes holding on the front glass
@@BeaglerBassFishingOutdoors This more about showing off the internals/how it's built. Someone could use it for repairing, but most won't. I have a video dedicated to removing lenses here: th-cam.com/video/CIU0iul5M_g/w-d-xo.html In order to save time I cut the lenses off of these for these videos. 5-10 minutes versus 25-45 minutes.
Wish you would have removed the bezel from the lens in the beginning…. Is it just a solid clear ? Or is they white upper and lower part built into it? I’d like to open mine up and tint just the upper and lower led strips… when you popped the lens off it makes it look like that parts made into it..: is it separate?
The parts on the front bezel for the LED are clear. I believe that they are just clipped into the black bezel. You should be able to separate them from the black parts or just spend extra time taping them off. As stated in the video, you should be able to remove the screws that are holding it all to the front lens and get access to the parts that you're talking about.
I cut the lens off with a saw because I didn't put it back together. You will need to heat it up to soften the glue and pry it apart. Ovens work best. You can search for how to bake a headlight and find lots of information. Note: I do not recommend using the oven you use to cook food with to perform this action. No matter what be careful. the melting temp of the glue and plastic are not far apart from each other.
For the videos I just use a saw and cut it off because I don't put it back together. In a repair/replacement scenario you would heat it up to soften the glue. Baking is the preferred method, heat guns also work. Either way you have to be careful not melt the plastics.
@@gftgrill OK, that is what I thought. I've viewed other videos and those from LED vendors. Not sure I am comfortable prying it open with screwdrivers and a heat gun. I feel there has got to be a better way to avoid the possibility of damaging the housing and lens.
@@lylewolf5029 I don't think that there's any other way other than heating up the glue to soften it. an oven to heat the whole headlight + industrial glass suction cups for moving large panes of glass might allow you to heat up the whole headlight and use a suction cup on the lens and body to pull it off. That would relieve pressure along the seam. I'm not aware of any solvent that you could use to get in there and dissolve the glue.
Can you show Video on how to teardowwn rear LED light on Dodge RAM 2019+??
Thank you so much!!!
Wonder if you can order any of those parts separate. I got a small crack in my same headlight and it totally stopped working. Guess moisture got in
Dodge doesn't sell them separately. They will only sell you a complete headlight.

How did you remove the glass cover I’ve been trying to open mine but struggling

Hi
So, it is possible to replace just glass, correct ?
You cannot purchase the lens by itself. you would have to source one from another headlight and remove and swap them.
Thank you for sharing. What was required to separate the lens from the main body ?
