i am pretty new to dodge trucks. i purchased a 2005 quad cab ram 1500 about 3 weeks ago. what i was wondering is that will the tail lights out of a 2007 fit the 05 or not. thanks

 

I'm new here aswell, but I'll give it a shot.
The 2007 & 2008 Dodge Ram Tail Light Wiring is different. The 2007-2008 Dodge Ram has two connectors instead of 1 like the 2003-2006. It will work, but will require some wiring & a couple of clips.
Check out http://www.gorecon.com/download_file.php?download_key=9It has a walkthrough of converting an '07 to '05, you'd just need to do it in reverse & find the part# for '07 pigtails.
I prefer the flush look of your '05 to my '07 "afterburner" lights, but to each his own.

 

I agree I hate the look of the 2007 tail lights wish they were the same as my 04 2500.

 

a lot of people dont like the 07 tail lights, i didnt before but now i kinda like them. thats the perfect site fordoing what your trying to do. that recon link. just splice the new pigtails into your wiring. thats it. the only thing i like about the 02-06 tail lights its that theres seperate lights for the turn signla and the brake, as where the 07-08 uses both for 1 light.

 

Thanks for the link. I don't like the 07 lights either......

 

ya, that DIY should save a lot of people the agony of having to deal with their 07 lights and its not as simple as a quck switch, so that broke it down pretty well

 

I am strange, I like mine.

 

They grew on me...but I still like the 06 and underlights better

 

It isn't in reverse. It seems the 05 uses one blub for the brake and one blub for the turn. So you have two wires. In the 07 there is one blub for both brake and turn. If you put the two wires from the 05 in to the single 07 blub you don't have turn signals when you have the brakes on.....
