Consumer Description

I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR SEVERAL MONTHS WITH NO ISSUES AND I HAVE NOT DRIVEN WHEN IT HAS BEEN DARK OUTSIDE. BUT ON THIS OCCASION IT WAS NIGHT AND I NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS WERE EXTREMELY DIM AND SEEMED TO BE ADJUSTED TO LOW SO STOPPED FOUND THE LEVEL ADJUSTMENT FOR THE HEAD LIGHTS AND MADE AN ADJUSTMENT WHICH RAISED THEM BUT MADE LITTLE OR NO DIFFERENCE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUES AND IS ONE OF THE FIRST UPGRADES DONE... AMAZINGLY LIKE MYSELF ON NEW TRUCKS... I THEN WENT AND PURCHASED A COMPLETE SET OF SYLVANIA SILVER STAR ULTRA LOW AND HIGH BEAM AND FOG LIGHT REPLACEMENTS. THAT COMPLETELY CURED THE ISSUE. NOW I HAVE LIGHTS THAT WORK AND ARE SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT I HAVE ALSO MADE RAM AWARE THROUGH AN EMAIL. I REALIZE PROFIT MARGINS ARE DRIVING FORCE TODAY BUT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED
