Aftermarket Bed Lights

[Jakethesnake3141]

Hi Everyone, I was reading a form about this yesterday about people who installed bed lights in their RAM and then wired them to the cargo lights using the White/Tan wire in the cab of the truck. I saw some people did this and had issues where their must be a current limit on the wire because the lights turn on then off real quick, maybe flash 2-3 times and then stay off. It doesn't blow a fuse because it will do it again if you turn the cargo lights on again.

I also replaced the incandescent bulbs in the cargo lights with LEDs to drop the draw of power but I am still having issues. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to get these to work as normal?

you could use a relay and have the white/tan wire trigger it
