New TYC headlights causing "Lamp Out"
Asked by Robs87vette Sep 14, 2019 at 10:51 AM about the 2002 Dodge RAM 1500 SLT RWD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I just installed a set of TYC Headlight Assemblies I purchased from
Rockauto.com. Never had any electrical issues until I installed these lights,
now if the headlights are on and I use the turn signals (L or R) I get the
chime and a Lamp Out indicator. Soon as the turn signal cancels it goes
away until the next time I use it. Iff the headlights are NOT on and I use the
turn signals it doesn't seem to do that. One thing I did notice was while the
lamp out and chime were going if I jiggle the light switch ever so slightly it
makes the lamp out and chime rapidly fade in and out like static, but how
could a bad switch happen just because I changed the lights? LOL

I'm having the exact same issue after installing TYC Headlights. Zero problems before, just wanted new headlights to replace my old foggy ones. Please help?
Anybody find a solution to this? I am having the same issue a month after replacing my headlight assemblies.

Was told by a mechanic friend of mine that because the TYC headlights I installed are LED the computer does not get a voltage signal and thinks the headlight is burnt out giving you the LAMP OUT light and chimes. He told me the solution is a Voltage Load Equalizer similar to the link below: Hope this helps! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A77U122/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3? smid=A2EJCTH67GJMT3&psc=1
I am having a similar problem. I recently upgraded from the quad lights to TYC projectors. I purchased the harnesses from Headlight Revolution to make them work. The driver side works with no problems but the passenger side is hyper flashing. I am not getting any error codes inside the truck and no hyperflashing inside on the cluster pannel. Everything else on the light works. I switched the harnesses and having the same problem with the same light so it cannot be the harnesses. I switched the driver and passenger side and the same light was acting up on the driver side. I sent the light back to rockauto.com for an exchange and I'm getting the exact same issue with the new light. Not sure what's going on. Cant imagine having 2 defective lights. And the harnesses seem to be working.
i had same issue. switched back to the original harness and bulb and all is good.

Replace the TYC turn signal bulb socket assembly with your original Mopar factory bulb socket factory assembly from your old lights ( or order new ones) this solved my issue.
