So I just bought a new 21 Built to Serve edition a couple of weeks ago and every exterior light on it is LED except the cab mounted brake and cargo lights. My question is, is there any way to convert them to LED without programming or reprogramming anything? Maybe just replace the bulbs perhaps? Are there CAN-BUS compatible bulbs that wont interfere with anything or leave a error message or a code?

On my 2013 I just replaced the bulbs with LED canbus bulbs and had NO issues, just plug & play. Red LED for the brake lights and white for the cargo. Don't remember the bulb number, but I did get them from superbrightled.

I have not really checked on recent updates but the last I read was even with CAN-BUS compliant bulbs it interfered with the key fob since the receiver in the 2021 is near the CM brake light...unless you buy the Genuine Ram one with the camera

We cant unless you want keyfob issues. Ram made a mistake and had to put hologen bulbs in the third brake light to avoid interference

Ive had these on for 2 weeks now with no issues... White for the two cargo lights and Red for the brake.

EDIT: Nevermind the Profile Pic. I have a 2020 Laramie now.

I put Led’s in the cargo lights with no issues. Check out Lasfit.com that’s where I got mine.
