LED headlight bulb replacement question

Pbz · Jul 12, 2017

Hey everyone, I'm thinking of changing the hi and lo bulbs in my 14 express to led to match my light bar.
I been fishing around threads and have established the 2015 and up models differ from 09-14s. 15 up models disable the light completely because of error on canbus system.

Can anyone confirm how the 2014s react to the led bulb? I'm looking at these: Combo H11 9005 LED Total 200W 20000LM SUV LED Conversion Headlight Kit H8 H9 H10
The flexible heat sink design makes install easier and they have canbus chip but do i need decoders too? If a "bulb out" light is all I'm ok w it. I just dont want flickering or for it not to work at all.

If it's just the bulbs, I can't say for sure. I put OPT7 Fluxbeam X bulbs in my '14 and they work great. They come with all of the extras needed to get them to work with our CANBUS system. The downside is, I lost a couple of weak radio stations when the lights are on. I still need to email them and see if they have a fix yet. Everything fits inside the dust caps, too.

I agree ^^

I would go with the opt7 fluxbeam X you won't be dissapointed. They are great all around no issues besides the radio as stated

OPT7 FluxBeam LED Fog Lights Conversion Kit White 6000K Car Bulbs Front Lamp | eBay
You mean these? Even w that bade they fit inside dust cap? Do you have hi and low? I read not enough room in housing for hi beam parts.

Saw this video https://youtu.be/8YSrWHQ8o9cwhere they use theseR3 Xtreme LED Conversion Headlgiht Bulb Kit for Dodge Ram 2013-2016 No Projector | eBay and the guy claims they worked great no flicker or errors.

Anyone purchase these before?

I have been using these since I got my 2012 ST. Use them with my Anzo U bar headlights and am very impressed, I can't say I have had any issue whatsoever with them..the headlights though are a different story.

^^^ then pm him dude. Thread jacking is forum faux-pas!

I ordered a set of R3xtreme H11 leds now. Seller told me i have 30 days to return if i have issues. OR i can buy $15 decoders another seller recommended.

Another video i saw shows the flexible heatsink type fit in the hi beam also. But I'll wait and see how it goes w the low beam first.

Thinking maybe some yellow halogen bulbs in my fogs. I currently have them smoke tinted w stock bulbs but the light they emmit is pretty weird cuz of the tint. Will get pics up later.

The Super Nova V3 bulbs are awesome

Not to be confused with the V2 bulbs

Update: installed LEDs i purchased on ebay. They work great no flicker or error light. Super fast and easy install. Bulbs [and canbus harness] fit nicely within housing and dust cap went on no problem. Light looks great w light bar. Was so sick of looking at that stock yellow light against white led on light bar. Would recommend these lights to anyone w a ram.

I too went with the Fluxbeam X's as well. Decent out put and brightness vs stock. I went another direction with lighting so if anyone haunts a set of H11s you can take them off my hands for $90 shipped.

I got my lo beams and fogs for $90 [$44 each] new shipped off ebay. Little bit of research saved me some ends
