2015 led dome lighting change?

Sswyers · Jul 25, 2015

So I ordered the 3 led bulbs for the interior of my new 2015 sport but when I went to change the rear dome there's no bulb it's a long flat led bulb? Is there any way to change that?

The dome light is a 4410 Festoon bulb, you can get LED replacements for it like these: http://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/festoon/578-led-can-bus-bulb-1-smd-led-festoon-44mm-car/1264/2937/

That won't work, that's the bulb I have

What are you asking? I have a 15 express and changed my license plate, maps, and dome light.

I believe the 2015's already have LED's on the interior lights. It's not as easy as switching out the bulb. I believe they are hard wired in. At least that's what I got from another member on here about his Laramie. He had to pull the console down and re-wire new LED's in.

I think it might be dependent on trim. Express is an old school filament bulb. I'll validate that in a bit.

I have a 1500 CC and it's factory installed LED's inside.

I just checked my 2015 rebel and it has regular bulbs, a big fat feston bulb in the back dome

They're hard wired leds & we will either get creative or be screwed.

I emailed Enlight about this last week. Hoping they can come up with a solution for this. I haven't checked my maps yet but I know my dome is a hard wired led to a circuit board. Are the maps this way too?

Yep. Ask me how I know. LOL

I believe it depends on trim level. Some of the lower trim levels I took peeks at had regular looking bulbs (although I wasn't looking too terribly close), and many of the higher trim levels got the LED lighting upgrade with not-really-removable LEDs. My 2013 Longhorn has the LED interior upgrade, and they are all the non-removable type.

Are they a yellowish LED or a bright white? I read that on the JGC they have LED's in the dome lights but they're yellowish. Not sure why they do that...

Mine has factory LED and they are what I would consider "yellowish". Almost like a 4300k. So much so that I thought they were incandescent at first. Definitely not the clean white 5k or slight blue 6k that make LED so nice. Not sure why RAM did that. I would have rather had incandescent that I could have upgraded to good LED.

****. Hopefully Enlight can come up with a solution. I hate these factory LEDs.

I take it you thought they were incandescent like I did and went to upgrade them only to discover they were actually ****** LED? I'm glad I found out before I ordered at least.

In both my wife's 2014 Jeep GC Limited and my 2013 Ram Longhorn, the LEDs are 4300-4500k or there abouts. Can definitely tell they are LEDs if you care enough to know the difference, but definitely not 5000k or whiter/bluer.

The only exception is the "cubbies" in the doors on the Ram, they have very blue LED lights in them.
