I purchased the following LED Reverse lights for my truck (2014 Ram Laramie).....

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NPIYDWU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

From my research and reading reviews, it seems like they are suppose to be super bright and work great, with no error codes. A few friends of mine even run these same bulbs in their Ram's and said they had zero issues.

As soon as I installed them I get the backup light out message. When I first installed them though, I had them backwards. I spun them around and they work great.

Even with the bulb out message, the lights work fine. Driving home after work though today I noticed the error was gone and no stored messages. I tried starting it again and it came back.

I also purchased these for my license plate lights and my cargo lights. All lights work great, but got the license plate light out error, nothing about my cargo lights though.

So now I have 2 errors, license plate and backup light out.

Others are having zero issues with these bulbs.

Any ideas? I just want some super bright, white, nice looking LED lights with no issues

Muscleram is right. Every truck is different. It's just luck of the draw in many cases. I originally used ijdmtoy for all my bulbs and they flickered and went out. Then I went with precision LED and haven't had a problem. I can only assume error codes are the same way.

I also noticed today that my driver side map light is really dim and doesn't get as bright as the passenger side. These are already LED from the factory and it's not a bulb I can pull out.

If I remove the plastic cover and push on the light housing and play around with it, I can get it to operate at full brightness.

I also noticed that it flickers as well, none of my other interior lights do this, just my driver side map light.

Any ideas?
