Default Cab mount break/cargo light
I have a 97 ram 1500 that I changed the break/ cargo light to a aftermarket LED light. Now the break light stays on all the time. I messed around with the wiring a little and I can either have the break light work or just the cargo light but not both. Anyone know how I can fix that so they both work?

Put the incandescent bulb back in. The way its wired, it is always powered, and LED's aren't real friendly with that.

Problem is the Chinese wiring has it setup for switched power not ground

I suppose for the Third Eye, you could change that...... But, I really don't recommend it.

I had to on my third brake light. I have a way to do it in my restoration thread. It involves soldering and isn't that hard
