I've been tracing my wires for my front exterior stock lights. Cleaning ground connections and looking for poor connections or exposed wires and I came across two? maybe relays? I'm not sure but they are part of the wiring harness that leads to my headlights, sidemarkers and fog lights. They are located just forward of the fender wells below the access hole for changing the bulbs. I have a 94 ram 1500 4X4 that used to have a snowplow on it before I got the truck. So it came with a mess of extra wiring under the instrument cluster and in the engine compartment. I've not been able to drive at night since I got it. the headlights come on but very dim and fade out after about 5 minutes. I've tested the relay and checked fuses and it has a new headlight switch. I've managed to eliminate a lot of the excess wiring from in the cab. I'm wondering g what these two parts are and if they could be the culprits. I have attached a couple photos. Any insight would be appreciated. I'm an amateur "wrench turner", DIY mechanic with only a minimal amount of electrical knowledge.
