Description of the problem	Issue: low beam headlight bulbs quit working, after several replacements, installing new bulbs (lamps) does not repair the issue. The vehicle currently has no low beam headlights, the vehicle only has high beam headlights. Not drivable at night. Tipm (totally integrated power module) is at fault according to dodge technician. The left (drivers side) low beam headlight went out in 2007, i replaced the headlamp bulb. Ok. The right (passenger side) low beam headlight went out in early 2008. I replaced the headlamp bulb. Ok. In 2012 ,both low beam headlights went out. I replaced both lamps. Ok. In 2013, the right (passengers side) low beam headlamp went out. I replaced the right (passengers side) low beam lamp, but the light still does not work. I took to shop, and they attempted to repair, but could not locate issue. They said, no fuses to replace, it has a tipm module that controls the lighting. In 2014, the left (drivers side) low beam headlight went out. I replaced the headlamp bulb. Still no lights. In 2014, i called the dodge dealer, spoke with service. The technician told me that this is a recurring problem with the 2006 dodge ram headlights, that it is probably the tipm (totally integrated power module) that needs replaced. The quoted cost of the tipm was approximately $800 and the labor about $150. Summary: march 2015. The 2006 dodge ram is not operational except during daylight hours. It only has operational high beam headlights, no low beam headlights. All new bulbs. I cannot afford a repair bill of almost $1,000 to get a $20 headlight to operate by replacing the tipm . Dodge needs to address this issue in my opinion. The issue just gets worse with time, and then, replacing the light bulbs does not help.
