Rear cab lights LED?

[techieanalyst]

Are the rear cab lights led? Bright but look like normal lights

 

[Bsjoiner]

I have been wondering the exact same thing. They look terrible next to the bluer LEDs on the rest of the truck. Has anyone swapped them yet? Pictures?

 

[alacombe]

They are not LED as from what I heard.

Someone on here as swapped them out and they have posted photos.

@firecadet613 did it, I believe. You can search (few months back). He posted part numbers and pics.

Yep just swapped mine out to led’s. It’s a must for all the 5th gens, kinda annoying ram didn’t include them but for $15 I’m not too upset

Unfortunately they forgot to put leds in the 3rd brake light and rear cab lights.. I went ahead and swapped mine out with these:

Thanks. How many bulbs needed for cargo and brake lights total?

See the thread referred to by @Edwards above.

Read the whole thread and did not see any posts mentioning the number of bulbs required, that's why I'm asking.

On edit: NM. Found it.

There’s two bed lights and one brake light

Thank you Jordan.

3 bulbs are needed. 1 for the 3rd brake light and 2 for the bed lights. This kit comes with 4, so you will be good.

@firecadet613 specifically called out two different leds for the brake and bed lights.. not sure why

Thanks. I ordered yesterday from the link you’ve provided.

I think it’s because he already had a set. As long as they have the circuitry like the ones DOOWORK bought, we should be good.

Mod done. Must be one of the easiest and cheapest mods available (about 9 bucks).
Thanks to DOOWORK for the AMZ link.

Amazing how good it looks now. Like it should have been from the factory all along. Can't believe FCA would deck the whole truck in LEDs and cheap out on these three bulbs. No excuse.

Anyway, here are the before and after pics:

Your third brake light housing seems to have a much bigger seal than mine.....weird

Bigger as in wider, or thicker?
