I’ve searched and couldn’t find much but looking to swap my halogen Fog Lights out for the OEM LED Fog Lights. Does anyone know if a jumper is needed or if they’re just plug & play?

Looks good, are those the alpha Rex headlights too? How do you like them? Did you put LED bulbs in those too?

Going to bump this because I can't find an answer in my searching. For those with OEM LED fogs, are they really dealer service only? I stupidly bought a set of H11 switchback fogs for white/yellow use before checking my truck, and they are obviously not going to work with the Rebel OEM fogs. Do I have to change to a completely new housing to get use of aftermarket bulbs?

The bulbs inside OEM LED fog lights and headlights are not replaceable.

yes, you are most likely going to have to switch housing, or sell/return the switchbacks

I use the Supernova V.4 led bulbs from Headlight Revolution in my halogen housings and they are AMAZING. Biggest difference I've ever seen hands down. On my Gladiator, I did have to use the Tazer to "activate" them in the computer, but I'm not sure if I'll have to do the same on the Ram yet. My H11s are still in the mail.

Thanks guys, that's what I thought after getting under the truck and looking. I wanted to get the yellow/white option without having to have a light bar, but I guess I'll try to get a low profile light bar solution.

@WXman, the trucks with the OEM LED fogs appear to have everything inside the housing driving 2 small LED boards, so there are no bulbs to replace. The fogs themselves are great, I just wanted the yellow option of the switchback.

What are your plans for the bulbs? I'd be down to maybe buy them, or even trade housings if you want the halogens and it's just plug and play

I sent them back the next day. Prime shipping/returns, so I just said the description was wrong because it stated they'd fit the truck. They WILL fit a 2020 Ram 1500, just not ones with the LED's.
