Aftermarket puddle lights?

chrisc75 · Jan 2, 2017

driverside puddle lamp is starting to flicker on my 2012 sport (non tow mirror)
dealer wants $125 for the part but honestly wasnt happy with how they lit up to begin with. once i did all y led conversions the warm yellow tint light sticks out like a sore thumb. was wondering if anyone has a aftermarket bulb out there for these? not sure how it is but was wondering if i could just use the glass as a housing and run a led strip in there and wire into the harness

I installed these originally in my footwells but ended up taking them out because they were too bright lol

They're weatherproof and if you were able to get them into the housings they would probably work pretty well I would think.

i was thinking something along the lines of a strip. man thing is idk if the housing is seperate from the light or is it all one assembly

Check out this post. It has directions to get to the puddle lamp.

Also, this video shows how to remove the mirror glass. The guy in the video said he broke the bottom tabs off, but I believe once you pull the top out you should be able to lift up on the glass and slide it out, so you can re-use the glass.

If these are the correct ones, they are only like $50 for the pair: 10-17 Dodge Ram 1500 2500 3500 4500 5500 Right & Left Mirror Puddle Lights MOPAR | eBay

Dealer is way over priced!!!!

Those are for tow mirrors. However, I found the part numbers below for the non-tow lamp assemblies.

Driver side - 68064949AA
Pass. side - 68064948AA

They aren't as cheap as the tow mirror replacements, but you can still get them about $30-$40 cheaper than the dealer price.

i actually meant in the puddle light housing itself. .im wondering if i can pull the leds out and its just be a blank housing to where i can fit a led strip in there

I found this post in the DIY section. The guy has the lamp assembly popped apart in the last picture, so you should be able to do exactly what you're thinking.

chrisc75 · Jan 4, 2017

yes that helped! i just messaged him to ask if he remeber how many wires were coming into the puddle lamp assemble. i figured the turn signal and puddle lamps would be on separate connectors but going by that picture theres all together

I am looking for a drivers side lamp module also...68064949AA

Mine has a few white LEDs burned out and 1 rear facing yellow LED out. I really don't want to pay $90+ for one!
