2025 Rebel Taillights

[Jimmy07]

Was able to check it this morning. The red wire does not have constant power.

I’ll send you a PM shortly.

Love my 2019 Rebel. Was seriously considering trading in for a 2025, but after watching reviews and determining a $71k+ truck comes with incandescent bulbs in the front and back, that is a deal breaker. What a step backward. Totally changes the appearance of the truck. I understand they are reserving the LEDs for the RHO and want it to look different/better to justify the cost, but I’m not in the market for that vehicle. Hopefully Ram can make the NECESSARY adjustments for the 2026 MY. What a disappointment, rant over.

Mopar is buying back my Rebel because of the missing animated lights (LEDs). I will special order either another Rebel optioned exactly the way I wanted it or order a limited.

Any update on getting 12V to that connector?

Interesting. There’s not just a simple fix for that then I am assuming? Manufacturer can’t just send new lights and harnesses?

I'm going to try going through all the wiring that Jimmy sent over today. We are trying to figure out if it's possible.

Awesome, thanks for putting in the work.

they said the entire front of the truck needs to be changed... I'm not sure that's true... I would have thought install lights and be done....

Maybe on the 2024's and older since the limited had smaller headlights but I believe the 2025 Limited's have the same headlight size and shape as the lower model 2025's.

Yeah, it’s hard to tell with pics, but they “appear” to be the same size and shape.

But, for a dealer to do the headlight and tail light swap, it’d still be a huge undertaking. They would at least have to replace the whole body harness and 2 harnesses in the engine bay as far as I can tell from quick glance.
They don’t have the capability to figure out the missing circuits and build an add on overlay harness like we do when adding them after the fact.

Has Ram indicated that they are fixing the issue? All the Rebel 2 packages seem to lack the animated lights. Which would lead one to believe that ordering another one would result in the same issue. I have a Rebel X on order and am curious if it will come with it or not.

A rebel can’t be equipped with LED tail lights or bi function projector LED headlights, therefore there can’t be a rebel with the animated front or rear lighting feature.
It’s just a mistake that they list the animated lights in the level 2 equipment group on the rebel, and the night edition package on the Laramie. Not the first time something like this has happened.

knowing they won't use these lights, I am sticking with Rebel, optioned as I like, no expectation of animated lights.

So what did you have to do to get this. Mine didn’t come with the animated lights either even though window sticker says it has it.

I leaned on the dealer very hard. they contacted Mopar who offered cash back or to unwind the deal. I planned to custom order a Rebel (knowing the animated lights are not an option) and ended up taking another truck off the lot, I didn't want to wait 3 or 4 months.

You have to have LED Tail Lights and headlights with the daytime running light signatures. No Laramies or Rebels have them.
