Swapping Halogen Light assembly for LED assembly?

[Moparian]

Hey, guys I'm new to the forum. What are the differences between the LED w/adaptive headlamps and without? Do I really need the adaptive?

The LED with Adaptive are projectors and comes on the Longhorn and Limited, they require a different grille if you are putting them on a Laramie or lower. The "mid" LED lights are reflectors.

I installed the Tazer DT, it is updated with the newest software. Enabled fog lights and turned LED fog lights to yes. Did a reboot and full shut down, even tried disconnecting the battery and fogs still wont turn on. Am I doing something wrong here?

Hmmm, not sure. Probably a question for zautomotive. They have great customer service!

Do you need the Tazer DT if you're just swapping the headlights?

No you do not need it.

So, i found that Mopar Wholesale had the best price on the LED Headlamps ($583). Does part# 68316089AH sound familiar to anyone? The drawing is pretty vague so I wanted to verify before buying it. (Yes I googled it)

Any update on how these are working out for you, i purchased the morimoto assemblies and had issues after install. looking to do the OEM route, who did you get adapter through?
And does your truck have e-torque, read somewhere that it can mess up the LED lights, not sure if its true.
Thanks

Grab the adapter directly from RetroShop. I’ve had mine for approx. a year at this point, and they’ve been great. One adapter did fail about three months in, but they shipped a new one the next day after some back and forth troubleshooting. It has been flawless since then. Highly recommended!

Okay cool thank you, did you order the headlights direct from mopar or from retro shop?

I bought them from BAM Wholesale as they’re minutes down the road from me. However... their after sales is, well, nonexistent.

moparwholesaleparts.com has them for $583 a piece. Retroshop.us has them for a little bit more I believe. I used moparwholesaleparts.com and was not disappointed. I am located in southern Louisiana and they were at the house within 5-6 days.

I'm wondering what would be needed to fit the led headlights from a 2500 Laramie into my 1500? If it's even possible or worth the time and effort of course lol. Found someone local selling a complete set of headlights for $600.

I'm not sure that you can but even if you could, you'd have to swap out more than just the lights.

What issues did you have with the morimoto ones? I’m looking to pick up a set when I get my truck.

They would run great for about 45 minutes but after that the front turn signal would just stay on as a solid light after you use it once, so if you are driving and put your left turn signal on it just had an orange light on the rest of the drive even after turn signal was off, morimoto tried to trouble shoot but we could not find a solution, they got them back a few days ago and were going to do some testing to see if there as something wrong with the set they sent me. They said it could be something with my specific trim level and package not responding right to the LED lights. I can send you a video of the issue if you wanna see what i am talking about.

If you wanted to go another route...I have the alpharex on mine with LED bulbs. Simple plug and play with one wire and a fuse tap for the DRL's. I love them.

Hey all. Picked up a 2020 big horn. I replaced the halogen fog assembly with the OEM led fog lights that come with the premium lighting option. Install was smooth, but fogs will not turn on. Dealer said I may need to get computer reprogrammed. Anyone experience this issue or install successfully?

Realize this is an old post, and not sure if you figured it out yet, but did you swap the pins on the fog light plug? It's required to get the LEDs to work.

17k miles, no issues.

If your looking alpharex might as well go full LED. They are starting to show up now.
