Yup. 10 minute, or 1 beer job.Ordered mine yesterday. Is the install as simple as it looks? TIA

I also read another thread talking about even a fractional amount of current will cause these to glow even when the truck is off. Does that happen to you with these?
Yeah very easy. 4 screws and pull the old bulbs out.Ordered mine yesterday. Is the install as simple as it looks? TIA

Over Achiever!I was motivated and so took only five minutes/half a beer.
And wow, much better lighting in the bed. Quite an improvement over the OEMs.
Over Achiever!

Well this is interesting. I have some fob detection issues periodically. But never have to hold directly on start button. And I did replace all 3 bulbs with these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078MR9XJF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Third time RAM owner first time 5th gen post. I wanted to leave this here. I installed LED cargo lights and also replaced the brake light with the following:

Once I installed the red LED I noticed that my key fob was not being detected during startup. I would get the key fob not detected and had to press the key against the start to turn the truck on. This happened for a day a 1/2. I did some research and learned that some LED lights with processors (or whatever they call it) can mess with near field. I removed the red light, left the white LED lights,
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GGK6QDW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, and all is working as normal again.
Going to chalk this up to lessons learned.
My issue was with the red led brake light that I installed. I could get the truck to start if I held the key real low under the steering wheel but once I would hit the break I would get the notification that the key fob is not present or not detected or something to that extent. The white LED cargo lights were a different brand and no issues at all when starting the truck. I also tried installing the Red LED back and the key fob issue started right back up. I have read posts that if the LED, cheaper quality, is not shielded properly this could cause this issue.Well this is interesting. I have some fob detection issues periodically.

I wonder if they are causing any issues....
I know I covered this in another thread...
I used these for the cargo lights: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LX4FMD1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
...and I used this red strobe LED for the brake light: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JJZQWKT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They all work. No codes or weird behavior.
My only complaint is that the white LEDs have a yellowish tint when they're not on, so you can see them through the lens. When they're on, all you get is bright white light and plenty of it.
So are these what your'e using in the cargo lights inside the 3rd brake light? Are there only two of them?JDM ASTAR Extremely Bright 2000 Lumens 360-Degree Shine 921 912 90-EX Chipsets LED Bulbs For Backup Reverse Lights, Xenon White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GGK6QDW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_fENVCbD3B2MQQ

I used the 2 and I haven't done them in the reverse lights but I wish I could make the reverse lights brighter!So are these what your'e using in the cargo lights inside the 3rd brake light? Are there only two of them?
Just want to be sure these aren't what you're using for reverse lights.
Thanks!
