    You may need a new battery. It may not have enough charge in it to turn on your headlights. If it is more than 3 years' old, get it checked or replaced.

    You may have a bad relay, a faulty headlight switch or blown bulbs. Watch this video:

    When you checked the fuses, did you also look at the second fuse box in the trunk? There are 40 amp fuses for halogen headlights in positions 06 and 07.

    If these are okay, I am out of ideas. You should then take your car to a trusted mechanic or a Dodge dealership.

    Hi there. Have you checked the voltage of the plug to the bulb that plugs into? and, if so, what's the reading? "With the head light switch on," I think this will narrow it down pretty quickly.
