I have headlight and interior dimming issues with my current battery and I have2 amps , will this cure my problem?

A loose ground, bad or loose terminals, or even a weak alternator can also cause dimming lights. As long as the battery tests good, and the alternator is doing its job, I'd look into getting a capacitor.It's a sort of battery that wires up to the sound system to help power it when you turn the music up.

Your issue is a slow battery drain--yes this battery has a life that keeps giving.

Test the battery first, if it is low in AMP then this should fix the problem. Sometime, a loose wire or bad connectors can cause the issue...

You would have to rewire the lights completely. This vehicle uses D2S HID. Honestly, not worth the time nor money changing the headlamps over. New bulbs run around $ 499.00 from PIAA.

Yes, make sure you get the correct size bulb. If you have after market headlights, be sure to get a bulb size for that specific headlight.

They way your vehicle is there's always a little stray voltage if you will and the led pick it up because the take such an insignificant amount of energy to operate them it will not drain your battery it's the amount of energy that is escaping with normal halogen bulbs you just can't see it if it bothers you enough you can put a led load stabilizer to interrupt the stray voltage but it may dim your lights in my opinion it is not worth it I hope I was of some help

Unplug your connectors an make sure u don't have a prong that is bent...i had that happen on my new headlights

I'm pretty certain switching from any incandescent to LED is going to bring up errors due to the change in electrical flow. You can either try finding a set of LEDs that have the proper spec resistors built in that you're looking for (expensive), or you can buy just the resistor, and wire it up in about 20 minutes (relatively not as expensive). I have a set of these build on Honda Insight and they look great. The car just doesn't have a plate light error, so that was a null factor.

Thanks. I have a headlight that requires two hands(!) to switch from bright to dim.

The only way I believe it will work is if this harness connection (headlight plug) matches your factory plug since your can connect it directly to your battery. In your original plug, it should have 2 wires, one is to ground, other is to your switch inside the truck. I think (in my opinion if plus don't match) even if you were to cut off wire plugs from new harness and somehow tie into your existing wires off your headlights, it should work.. As long as positive from new harnesses is connected to positive on existing harness and blk to any ground, preferably chassis, "let their be light!"

I would check the amps you would be pushing through it. If those lights are all LED then you should be OK.

It will work as your primary. Your lights will still dim unless you have a second battery and aftermarket alt. I have a 370amp alt from Mechman Altenators. Another option is to leave your stock battery and put the 3400 in the back. Run a 1 or 0 gauge wire to the back from your stock battery. Run the same thickness ground from the 3400 to a solid ground.

Connie, while I can't be sure of the answer to your voltage question, I can say that I was experiencing an illumination issue as well and the new battery corrected the problem. If you haven't replaced the battery in several years, I'd start there.

This has a fair chance of running those lights, but keep in mind this is a battery with a limited supply of power. The battery is rated as "26 amp-hour" hinting it'll give you 1 amp at 12V for 26 hours, or 2 amps for 13 hours, etc, so for it to last 10 hours means you can't use over ~2.5 amps. When running things off the inverter, the overall power used is about the same but the 12V gets changed into 120V and the amps get changed from 2.5 amps to 0.25. I just tried a string of 26 LEDs (with the 1-2 inch cone on each) that shows 0.04 amp draw, so I could only put 5-6 of those together if expecting 10 hours. You may need to check yours to be sure of what yours needs since they may be different (I used the "kill-a-watt" meter to measure mine that you may want to consider getting to see exactly what yours use).

All the LEDs will light up, you probably need an 2 amp charger, a regular 1 amp will be too slow for a battery this size.

Yes, It won't matter if one amp draws more than the other, the cap cant tell the difference, and there will be no damage to any components. Its will just be more load on the electrical system as a whole; depending on your power needs, a cap alone may not solve your problem. a "big three" upgrade will help alot. The next step after that would be a high output alternator. -5 years as an auto tech

If the brake lamps work, then probably you need a flasher for LED style lamps, not the Incandescent style. Change to a LED Flasher.

yes, but i recommend buying the warning canceller kit. if you put hids in the newer rams they have a sensor that causes them to flicker sometimes. but other then that the headlights work well with my 8000k hid kit

Check wiring, check 10amp fuse on back of headunit, etc. Make sure that it is installed correctly!
