New here, but old to converting incandescents over to LEDs because of our travel trailers. The bulbs I've seen referenced and linked so far are a bit hit or miss - you don't want to know how much $$$ I've dumbed into finding the best of them over the years... Anyway, before finding this site, and my first mod to my new 2019 RAM after seeing the cargo/CHMSL were incandescent, was to install LEDs. These are ones I've had the best longevity, wet/humid weather, and cold performance from:

In the description it specifically says not to use in Ram backup lights as there's still canbus issues. Have you have any error messages or problems?

I have these only in the cargo and CHMSL, and no errors yet. About 110 miles since I swapped them in. I didn't buy these originally for the RAM, but they are leftovers from swapping in my camper.

My bad, I was thinking the cargo lights in the CHMSL came on with reverse lights too. I'm always in the truck when it goes into reverse. ;)

Or maybe they do, and it's just not throwing errors. Either way all good.

It does make you wonder why the only lights that are not LED on the whole truck are the cargo and CHMSL...
