hey guys, so ive decided to start putting some more LED lights in my Ram...ive went and searched for the bulds im goin to need...and i dont trust the info i got, so im asking to all and/or anyone who has replaced there bulbs with LED ones if you can help me out...i want to replace all the interior lights with LEDs. so far ive already replaced my cluster and hvac controls....as for the extereior i want to replace all the bulbs in the 3rd brake light, and both license plate lights....can yall please help me out...Thanks in advanced

 

LED bulbs in the tails are going to require resistors to avoid the fast blink and bulb out warning on the dash. bulb numbers are 3157's for the tails 2 red and one white on each side. I think GORECON.com has new LED bulbs with built in resistors but not sure. Hope this helps.

 

For the rear license plate lights i used LED T10 style bulbs. No need for any resistors, just plug them in since they have no "lamp out" detection. I bought a pair of 8 SMD versions that are night as hell.

For the tail lights, i personally dislike the look of LED bulbs in the stock housings. The refelctors do not work well with LED's since LED'S throw light in a very limited direction. If you do use just bulb replacements, you will need to add resistors or you will have fast flashing bulbs and a bulb out indicator. I looked into LED tail light assemblies that are complete. I really wanted the Hella CELIS versions, but they were too pricey.

I opted for Spyder versions with the red lens. I paid $139.95 with shipping included. Install with simple. Just plug the factory harness right in and use your stock back up bulbs. They fit as good as good as stock are MUCH brighter. Quality is excellent. Thick plastic, look and feel like OEM. They flash at the same rate the stock bulbs do and their is no need for any resistors. I took before and after pics, PM me your e-mail and ill send you pics.

For the high mounted brake light, just look in your manual for the bulb part number then go on Ebay and find an LED version of it. Don't forget to add a resistor. Superbrightleds.com has decent prices and sells resistor kits.

 

all some great info...thanks guys...as for the interior lights what kind do i need if i order from superbrightleds

 

I got my interior LED dome light off Ebay, it's a 48 LED panel that cost me $2.99 with free shipping. Bright as hell. As for the two map lights, i had 16 LED bulbs in there but took them right out once i found out that the "push on-push off" function of the map lights will not work LED bulbs for some reason. They will come on if you turn the interior lights on vie the headlight switch, but not with the map light only function. Apparently other people have had the same issue.
