Lost my first headlight on my 2011 Ram tonight...looked under the hood quick just to see and...can't see anything! How do you access this bulb to replace it? Passenger side is out, but I want to replace both. Any tips? Hints? Tricks? or just take to the dealership and pay big $$$?

Do a google search on "how to replace 20011 ram headlight" and you will get a video showing you how. There is how to on most everything now days.

I thought you worked at a dodge dealership? Look under the hood first, then Look in the inner fender for a trap door. I know there is one on the 2500 series. I believe it allows bulb access. Or else you need to unbolt the housing.

I was a tech 10 years ago, but I'm now an insurance advisor at Woodhouse! Thanks for the help, I was just surprised when I looked under the hood and couldn't easily see how to get to the bulb! I haven't ever worked on this series Ram truck other than change the oil, rotate tires, etc/basic maintenance.

UPDATE:

as a dealership employee, I get a discount on service and parts, so at the moment, I'm allowing the service dept. to replace these bulbs. I usually do my own service work on my own cars, but I'm super busy today in the insurance dept. with quotes and service, and I'm working late today and don't really want to drive home in the dark with only one headlight! Thanks for the advise, if I had more time I'd tackle this myself, but sometimes you have to delegate...:(

At least I work at an AWESOME dealership with a terrific service dept!

Thank you, Woodhouse!

p.s. I googled this, and found a you tube video showing the removal of the grille to access the headlight housing removal...seriously? Oy...really makes me miss driving my '76 Power Wagon...

They fixed it, but it wasn't the bulb, it was the wiring! Bad harness to the RH headlight! I'm SO irritated by this! My Dad bought his first new truck in 1975, 1976 Dodge W100 Power Wagon, and I have this truck now. It's headlight wiring is just fine...and all original! My 2011 that I bought new...headlight wiring bad in just 3 years! What the heck? Ugh! Very irritating...
