This is on a friends truck....the headlights are on but putout NOTHING for light on the road we were struggling to see the turns and lines on the friggen highway...whats up? are dodges just this way or is something wrong? They are aimed correctly and are not burned out they just dont light up jack....any ideas on getting better light output?

 

Probably so fast it was out running the light

 

We were really motoring considering we couldnt see and had 2 snowmobiles on a trailor behind us.....we could actually see our shadow infront of us when cars were behind us LOL.

 

Was it snowing? Or were the roads covered? It's been a few years since I seen the white stuff, but it did seem like my headlights weren't as bright when it was all white out. maybe some kind of optical illusion? If his charging system was fine and he hasn't done some kind of backwoods mods to his electrical system, I would have it checked out. Are his lenses very faded and dingy?

 

The bulbs were pure black on the inside.....it was like driving with tinted headlights lol....we changed them and its all good now.....always the simple things.

 

lol that would've been the first thing i checked

 

The older 94-01 dodges had a terrible problem with leaking. Almost every 94-01 dodge i've seen has bad oxidation inside and outside of the headlights. My girlfriend's truck took me forever to do and even my buddies 2003 started to do the same thing. Glad to hear it wasn't that.

 

You notice it on those years because they are older, thats all. ALL vehicles with any kind of plastic lenses will get yellow and fade with age, just the nature of the beast unfortunately.
