    Default Headlight issues

    I have a 2014 RTS SE6. The headlights and fog lights are varying in intensity, brightening and then returning to normal frequently. Distracting oncoming drivers to the point they are flashing their own headlights at me. The headlights seem okay on high beam. Anybody know what is causing this and how to fix it? Will appreciate any help.

    Good morning Phil,
    If there is no fluctuating of the headlights on high beam then I think it's the "shutter" for low beam. I have the same and it does not have a 2 filament headlights bulb like many cars ( an H-4 for example). I tend to run with the high beams on during the day and with LED fogs and headlights on---- just want to be seen.

    Default Headlight issues

    Hello all:

    I have a headlight/fog lights issue on my 2014 RT-S SES.

    The light intensities are fluctuating, as though there's an over voltage. They go very bright, then reduce to normal, then go bright again at random, smooth or rough road.
    Any ideas on how to fix this? Would much appreciate.

    System voltage check is in order. While the engine is running. The voltage should be about 14V and not vary very much. Don't know what you have available to you that you could hook up to the battery or another system voltage point to monitor the voltage. Then go for a drive and see what happens.

    Another issue I found with 2014 lights. They burned out almost yearly.

    I bought LED's from "you know who" and have not had an issue since.
