My headlights (specifically on the driver side) keeps going out randomly. I have replaced the high and low beam bults 3 times and the wiring harness twice. I can be driving down the road and they it will go out and 10 minutes later it will just come back on all on it's on. I looked on all of the Dodge discussion forums and this seems to be a very common issue with this make/model of the Dodge Ram 1500 I recieve no error messages on my dash console telling me that this has occurred. However, every other bulb that has ever went out gave an error on the dash.
Factory headlamps are extremely dim and, in my personal opinion, pose a safety concern. Please look into this as a quick internet search revealed that there are countless others concerned about this flaw as well. Thank you.

Poor lighting under any conditions. Lighting is not focused and has little or no effect on illuminating the drive path. A standard flash light produces more lighting. This is very unsafe for night driving. All Dodge ram owners of this year have the same complaint.
