Hey everyone, so I ordered a tail light set from eBay and they arrived today. When I went to install them, I came to find the connectors are not compatible with mine. Anyone else run into this issue before?

What year is your Ram ? When I did mine, I needed to order a kit from the RetroShop so that it was plug and play.

You need a conversion harness to match up the connectors when going from non-LED to LED tails. Get in touch with JJ at Retro Shop.

What year is your ram and what are the lights you bought?
You have a link?

We have this issue all the time.

Sometimes they remove the complete socket and try installing the lights, but you need to remove the light bulb only and install the LED socket that acts as a bulb into the OEM socket.

Here are some videos from us.
