Aftermarket tail lights

[billypope50]

I have a 2022 ram Lonestar. The tail lights are non-LED. I bought some aftermarket OEM look alike that are made by spec d. They was working good for one day then I went to a friend’s house and when I left that night, I remote started in my truck and noticed the driver side parking light was not on. I messed with it the next day and could get it to come on then it would go right back off then come on again and then go back off. My question is do I need to do something special for these aftermarket lights to work? The passenger side has worked just fine the entire time. These aftermarket lights did come with some sort of long metal resistor or whatever that also plugged into them. Any help would be much appreciative. I don’t know if the light is defective or I’m doing something wrong to make both of them work correctly.

Have you contacted the company? Most likely they are bad and need to be replaced. I'd just buy OEM. Most of these aftermarket lights are of questionable quality.

correct me if i am wrong but i think if you have a non led equipped truck you need to go into settings via ALFAobd or Jscan and make some changes. have u looked up info on google or youtube?

Here is a PDF with some info on a few thing lighting-related. It's a few years old but still has pertinent info. May be helpful.
