Planning on getting new headlights or taillights for your RAM truck? Before you get your lights replaced, talk to your RAM dealer about a service. Getting your lights serviced could save you from having to pay for new taillights or headlights unnecessarily. Here’s what you can expect from this type of RAM service.
When you’re driving your truck around, you might not always be able to tell if there’s a problem with your headlights, especially if you typically drive around well-lit areas. This is even more the case for your taillights. This means you might not know if one of your lights has stopped working unless a warning light has appeared on your dashboard.
Your dealership will start by checking whether all the lights work, and whether any need replacing. If there are any non-functional lights, the technicians will also check whether there’s a faulty connection or whether there’s an issue with the light itself. This saves you from having to replace any of your bulbs unnecessarily.
What Does the Casing Look Like?
Burnt-out bulbs are one of the more common problems, but issues can also arise with the casing, especially if you’ve had a bump. RAM technicians will look at the casing around the headlights and taillights, checking for cracks or damage. Broken casing can cause lights to appear foggy, and replacing the housing can resolve the issue.
Are the Lights Properly Aligned?
If all the lights are working, but you still aren’t getting the level of illumination you expect, it may be an alignment issue. Lights can easily become misaligned through daily wear and tear, through collisions, or driving over rough terrain. This could include regularly driving over potholes on the highway.
A lights service will automatically check the alignment and make any necessary corrections. Lights that are even slightly misaligned can cause all kinds of problems, such as blinding other drivers. It’s therefore advisable that any alignment tweaks are only carried out by professionals.
Is There Any Flickering?
If you’ve noticed that your headlights flicker or seem dimmer than usual, you need a lights service. Flickering or dimness can be due to damaged casing impairing the beam, or there may be a faulty connection. If you’ve recently replaced the bulbs but are still having problems, mention this to the technician. Knowing the bulbs have recently been replaced will help them to identify the cause more quickly.
