Consumer Description
I FEEL THAT THE HEADLIGHTS (HALOGEN) ON MY 2013 RAM 1500 SLT ARE INADEQUATE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK SAFELY. THE LOW BEAMS ARE TOO DIM AND YELLOWISH TO SEE DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD MANY VEHICLES IN MY 35+ YEARS OF DRIVING AND THESE ARE THE WORST HEADLIGHTS OF ANY CAR OR TRUCK I HAVE EVER SEEN OR EXPERIENCED. I HAVE SEEN OTHER 2013 RAM TRUCKS WITH SIMILAR HEADLIGHTS WITH THE SAME DIMNESS AND YELLOWISH LIGHTING. I FIND MYSELF OVER USING THE HIGH BEAMS SIMPLY BECAUSE THE LOW BEAMS FAIL TO DO THE JOB. OTHERS HAVE HAD TO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS, RAM NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS IS THAT THERE IS A APPROXIMATE 1 SECOND DELAY WHEN USING THE HORN TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS. TAKE THAT 1 SECOND DELAY WHILE DRIVING AT 30...40...50 MPH AND IT MAGNIFIES THE DANGER. *TR
