Headlights turning on and off.....sorta.

What is your question?

I just got this truck and the previous owner seemed to do some aftermarket headlights, they turn on and flicker in a very low mode when I close my door hard, unlock/lock the truck etc. the only way to get them off is to have my key on the second to last off position and then they turn off in a minute or so?

What makes this problem better or worse?

can only tell at night since it is a low setting

How long has your 2007 Dodge Dakota had this problem?

since I've had it, 3 ish weeks

Hello, Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. Restore your vehicle to original factory lighting. That's the only repair suggestion. Aftermarket lighting using LED or similar equipment is not made to be compatible with the existing factory electrical system of the vehicle. With voltage and amperage needs and availability differences, problems are unresolvable.
