Has Anyone Try 2019 RAM Retrofit Headlights?

Dammit! Thanks for the heads up tho!

You’re welcome. Trust me there’s like 2 or three forums on this exact question and a lot of people wanted to swap over the assembly...me included. The only thing you can do is contact a retrofitting company so they could customize your headlights

For some reason it would not allow me to add a picture to the chat

I installed all the LED headlights today. I installed the resistors on the wires you had mentioned. And I still cannot get the switchbacks to stop hyper flashing. Did you install one resistor per side. Or did you have to install 1 on the "flashing"wire and one on the "constant on"wire.. I've had switchbacks in every vehicle I've ever owned and none of them have ever been as much of a pain in the ***.

That’s really strange. I did one per side. I’m gonna gonna have to take mine apart one of these days to double check. I know I did those two wires. Spliced one end into the colored wire then the other into the negative or ground wire.

Has anyone successfully switched the taillight brake lights to led yet?

I'm having a hard time finding bulbs that fit correctly.

Just installed these tonight: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077PR5B8G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Plug and play.

Nope. Plug and play. Takes 5 minutes for each tail light. Not sure how tints would effect the ouput, but the reverse lights are very bright.

Here it is everyone. Wiring adaptor for the LED headlight assemblies. Doesn’t come cheap. https://shop.retroshop.us/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=5G.ADAPT

So you mean to tell me you swapped from halogen brake lights to plywood brake lights? How'd that work out for you?

Curious if you ever made the switch to these from HIDretrofitkit? They have some pricey options but they look awesome. Also i heard you can send them your headlights and they will take $300 off the cost and turn yours into them.

If you send your housing they won't charge you the $1500 for a set. You'll still pay $1K for the retrofit (but you won't have any headlights until they get back )

Luckily I have an extra set of OEM chrome halogen headlights that I haven't been able to sell. Only replaced them with the Night Edition halogens (replaced with LED Bulbs). But ultimately I want a better upgrade so they could have my old OEM halogen's.
