Can I replace 2021 Ram 1500 halogen headlamps with the LED version?

[Knight.]

Hi guys, I’m new to the forum and I just purchased my first truck 2021 Ram 1500 Bighorn. Love the truck but the one thing that still bugs me is that it didn’t come with the LED lights, but they gave me a good price and worked with me so I bought it.

I wanted to know if the LED headlamps and tail lamps are plug n play and I can I just swap out the lamps or do I need to do some major work to get the LED’s to work?

thanks in advance.

I got them at BAM Wholesale Parts:

But you can get the anywhere that sells OEM RAM parts. I have no idea what the part number is because it's been a few years and it depends which bezels you want (chrome or black), and if you have blind spot monitoring, etc.

Yes, you can upgrade to LED. You do need an adapter harness to make the headlights work. The tails are plug and play. The front fascia, etc. does not have to be changed. There are several posts about it on this forum.

I messaged you. Would you be able to share the link to the headlights you bought to go with the harness kit?

I bought LED conversion lights on Amazon and swapped them for my 2024 Big Horn because I hated the halogens. They work great and are so bright. No issues. I have pics and can let u know what brand I got if u need broski. Lmk!

llegrand251922 when you swapped the out with can bus lights did you get any kind of error message's?

I think you've been given bad info here my friend, but I could be wrong. If I am not mistaken, the LED headlights are a totally different design and you may require a new grill and front facia to allow them to fit. The tail lights should be no problem.

I have a 23, the LED headlamps fit perfectly! I built a 12 to 16 pin jumper harness to connect the factory wiring to the LED head lamp

The LED headlamps bolted in my 23 5th gen fine, the harness is a different story, the factory harness is a 12 pin the LED headlamp is a 16 jack. I fabed up a jumper harness to connect the two.

i replaced EVERY bulb on my big horn with LED's from the visor mirrors to the tail lights huge improvement got a few from lasfit but not all. just swapping the head light bulbs not the entire housing made a huge difference i'm sure the new owner is enjoying them. the most difficult ones were the map lights and the main headlight bulb. no coding necessary and no error codes.
i did have to readjust the headlights because everyone seemed to think i had my high beams on but after that it was all good.......
