Hello everyone,
I would like to know if I get the taillights with the blind spot sensor....Am I able to use in a truck without that option? Are the connectors the same and if so will it work without issues? Thanks
Yes, you can use them if they have blind spot even if you don’t have blind spot integrated in your truck. The tail lights with Cross-Path, you can’t use. I just found this out the hard way. Had to sell them back. The lights w/ cross-path have the harness plug is on the bottom of the housing. There isn’t enough clearance in the tail light housing cavity in bed of truck.
I know it sounds crazy, but I can vouch as this is what I found out the hard way. We needs the LED’s w/out cross path. The harness plug is located on the top of housing which has plenty of clearance for plug n play.
Hope this makes sense. If you look at different pictures of the LED’s, pay attention to the location of the plug on the back.
Plug on top works, and plug on bottom won’t

So on these pictures....the one I can use is the one with the connector on top?
Yes. You will also notice in those pics, the tails are slightly different shaped. On those pictures, look very closely at the top right angles of each. The ones that work for our trucks (left picture/plug at the top) have a slight angle. The ones in the right pic with plug at the bottom (cross path) are pointed. They don’t fit or “line up”.
Hope this makes sense. I really bummed when I found this out; cause I got a smoking deal on the ones that wouldn’t work for me. The guy switched his out for black bezel. I bought the pair for $375! BUT, they would work/fit and the guy was extremely nice/cool about it and bought them back.

Anyone know if you can swap the red trim for a black trim piece and it not effect the Blind Spot Sensor?

question, if you have halogen lights can you install factory led lights with out reprograming?
i have been looking at the recon led tail lights made for halogen lights, they have a conversion box built in to the light to adapt without reprograming.

I've been looking at different headlight to replace my halogen lights, and not sure about the reprograming part if its need. I have read that some you have to buy a harness if you go with the MOPAR ones and others come with an adapter that you just plug in between the current wire to the new light. I email my dealer this morning asking about getting the LED installed when my truck shows up. If I don't hear back from him I might just order the MOPAR ones and the harness and do the install myself.

I am looking to add the OEM LEDs as well. And yes you need to get a wiring harness to hook them up. You can get it online for $175. I can send you the link later if you want.

You sent me the link a while back, I just have to pull the trigger and buy the lights and order the harness.

And they are by far the best price. Anything OEM will cost you more.
