Any LED kit come with PWM module should be good but i read alot of peps here using GTR lighting LED kit.

I have the Midnight Edition 2019 5th Gen RAM 1500 Bighorn 4wd and it is total LED front to back from the factory, EXCEPT the 3rd brake light. The LED Third Brake Light tends to cause issues with the Keyless Starting System. It generates a frequency that interferes with the FOB's ability to work, causing the "NO FOB DETECTED' problem. That is the ONLY bulb in my truck that isn't LED.

I have a 2019 Bighorn Night Edition w/ HALOGENs. First thing I did was upgrade to the LED tail housings which come with LED bulbs - this was about an $800 upgrade.

I have yet to spend the $1300-1500 on the LED headlight housings simply because I'm not looking forward to taking my entire front bumper/grille off so this will wait until beginning of next year. I've read posts about LASFIT being a good go-to for LED bulbs but I don't like the halogen housings so I'm looking to completely replace them with the OEM LED housings.

I've also heard issues with people replacing the 3rd brake light bulbs with LEDs and causing issues with FOBs. However, I purchased these about 3 months ago and haven't had any issues. Install takes 2 minutes and they're pretty bright.

I've used these LED's on 4 different cars and they are very bright and look amazing!

Check out LASFIT. They have an LED replacement bulb for every bulb in our trucks. was going to go that route until I found a great deal on some OEM ones

I put Beamtech led headlights in all of my vehicles when I buy them. $38 on Amazon. Last set ran two years with no issues before I traded the vehicle in. Not sure if I have any photos...I'll check.
Auxbeam is pretty decent too.

Check out Fred Esquivel from rpm 956 on Facebook. His led bulbs are awesome and he has a huge loyal customer base because of his excellent customer service.

LASFIT (the following is the latest list I can find for the 2020 Big Horn and includes the latest 3rd brake light recommendation from LASFIT):

Low Beam and Fog Lights: https://www.lasfit.com/products/h11...g-light-la-series?_pos=1&_sid=f661d8ebe&_ss=r
High Beam: https://www.lasfit.com/products/900...gh-beam-la-series?_pos=1&_sid=a95eb27fb&_ss=r
For the turn signals I did not want the "Switchback" so I just got Amber ones. NOTE: For front make sure you get "CK SOCKET"
Front Turn Signals (Amber): https://www.lasfit.com/products/amb...b-anti-flickering?_pos=6&_sid=62e9a7b0c&_ss=r
Rear Turn Signals (Amber): https://www.lasfit.com/products/lasfit-7440-7441-w21w-led-turn-signal-lights-canbus-error-free
Rear Tail/Stop Light (Red): https://www.lasfit.com/products/7443-7444-canbus-error-free-led-turn-signal-light-bulb-brilliant-red
Reverse Light (White): https://www.lasfit.com/products/lasfit-7443-7440-white-led-bulb
Cargo Light (White): https://www.lasfit.com/collections/...-mount-stop-dome-light-bulbs-6000k-pure-white
3RD Brake Light (Red): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081YHRNY8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You will read on this form of guys having issues with their key fobs and Lasfit but I don't recommend you write them off as there are many of us using Lasfit with ZERO problems. WIth that said, the list above does have the new 3rd brake light as recommended by Lasfit to ensure you don't have problems with key fob signals. I still have the old style 3rd brake light bulb from Lasfit in all our 2019/2020 Rams and have had no problems with them or any of the other lights (interior and exterior) which are all Lasfit.

And I recommend you check out Amazon pricing versus Lasfit's website to ensure you get the best deal.

Overpriced junk.
Sorry....no disrespect intended. But Lasfit literally is overpriced and has done nothing but cause issue with almost everyone that's tried using their products.

Looks like we're the only two who have been lucky enough to not have issues with these Lasfits. I already have the 3RD brake light (white) and I just purchased the 3RD brake light (red) per your recommendation, thanks!

A lot of threads on this. I used GTR ultra2. The most expensive, but also the best. Lifetime warranty and very bright.

I used cheapie MOSTPLUS leds from amazon on my 2019 bighorn and in my wife’s vw. Less than $30 / pair and no problems. They made a world of difference in output on the bighorn and the housing is built such that it provides a good cut line and assuming your lights are properly aligned won’t blind oncoming traffic.

Yep...anything more than $50 for a set of LED bulbs for reflector housing is just overpriced and not worth it.

No disrespect taken...it is just your overly broad opinion. I’ve had zero problems with my Lasfit’s - as well as those in the other family Rams and over a dozen friends/coworkers here in the Houston area who also have Rams.

I have my own opinion too about Underground Lighting (overpriced junk and with zero customer support) sold on the “other Ram forum” as my experience was the same as you indicate others have had with Lasfit.

Disagree, as with anything you get what you pay for. Love my GTR's. Went from some of the crappiest headlights to the best I have ever had. Sharp crisp cutoff. If they fail in ten years they send me new ones.

Yea...IF the company is around in 10 years lol. $200 for a pair of headlight bulbs is absolutely crazy. No one in the right mind would actually pay that amount. I just looked at their website...they're built the EXACT same as all of the other $50 led headlight bulbs. No difference.

On the surface they all look the same. It is the quality of the components that make the difference. I would have spent this amount on all of my previous halogen vehicles, had I known this brand existed. Maybe I'm not right in the head, but to me it was the best mod I have made.

It appears you have a background (education, engineering background, experience, own a business selling LEDs, etc.) which makes you an expert on LEDs. Please enlighten all us exactly how his LED headlight bulbs are “built the EXACT same as I’d the other $50 LED headlight bulbs.” Also, you might enlighten us as to how an LED is supposed to be built which makes it far superior to the others on the market.
