    Default 2014 Rts left head light

    The head light is always going out. Do not drive much at night but every time I brought in for something else they fix but keeps happening.
    Anyone else have this problem. What solutions did you do?l
    Thanks Ken

    The right light on my 14 RT kept going out and eventually the connectors melted. It was replacedl under warranty. The pins sometimes don’t line up which causes it to arc and blow out the bulb.

    Default Mine too

    My '14 RT-S did the same thing. I finally noticed both connectors were melted and smelled burned. I bought new ones at Autozone and replaced the bulbs with LED's.

    My 2014 RT has done that twice. What's the deal? The first time--left side--I replaced bulb with OEM. The second time--right side--I replaced both with LED aftermarket lights.

    Should have done that when the first light went out. Dealer did not replace both--as I requested. Install is a PIA--regardless of which types of bulbs used.

    I will be going on my second season with the LED's. However--the dealer screwed something up with the install. One of the high beam screens does not function--it stays on high beam only. They get that back to fix this year with annual service--on their dime.

    I don't ride at night--its dark at 3:00 AM in the summer. The rest of the time the high beams are on for visibility. And I have only been flashed once in about 100,000 assorted miles.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.
