Don't drive a lot at night, but when i do the headlights to not illuminate well. They do not light the road more than maybe 30'.

My passenger side headlights went out. Thinking it was a simple blown bulb i brought it in to the dealership where i bought the jeep less than 2 months prior.

How is this possible on a truck less than 2 years old? And rewired would indicate faulty wiring in…
