I'm a math teacher, I've seen about everything you can do to a number.

Lol....didn't think my typo would cause such a response!! In my defense, my partner was driving and he is from upstate NY. He has no idea how to drive, so I was typing this as I was pointing out that the lane merges. I have learned that he does not look more than 5 feet in front of the car at any time...rather unrattling as we were traveling with light and sirens. Needless to say, unless I am 50 beers in, he is NEVER driving again with me in the car!!!

Yes...I meant 2014!

7443 LEDs are for the premium reverse lights (the sport tail lights)
194 are for the license plate lights
921 Map Lights and Third brake reverse light
578 is for the dome light

Just FYI. 194s and 921s are the same thing in the LED
There all 194s



Does anybody know where I can get the center dome light like on the express trucks. I think just the rear dome light is not in the best position.


I do use these for the dome light

My express doesn't have the center down light. Just the front MAP lights and the rear dome light. Would love to know what bulbs those are so I can swap in some LEDs.

Here is what I ordered for those lights. The map lights are the 194's and the rear dome is the tube like one.

For the interior lights I didn't use canbus and got full functionality. They dim and people comment on how awesome they are when they climb in at night. Several people even said something when the door opened during the day time.

For the map lights I got: https://www.superbrightleds.com/mor...ed-bulb-15-smd-led-wedge-base-tower/910/2244/

For the Festoon Dome light I got: https://www.superbrightleds.com/mor...nt-bulbs/578-led-bulb-9-led-festoon/237/1123/

For the footwells I got: https://www.superbrightleds.com/mor...bulb-5-smd-led-wide-angle-wedge-base/206/922/

I also used the map lights for a license plate light. I do get a bulb out error but it doesn't bother me at all. If I did the backup lights I would just put a small resistor inline on both sides. Weren't people having an issue with this truck and reverse lights? Like how the bulb is mounted in the reflector?

Could you post the entire address for each of those products? The ones you've linked are truncated, and I can't figure out how to navigate their site to find the specific product. Most likely a user error on my part...

They must have changed that in the newer models. My friends 2012 Express has the center dome light.


btw . Those are festoon array bulbs.

Just swapped in 2 red 5LED bulbs into my license plate lights to see if it would throw a code and if I like red. Good news is no code after starting it up for a min. Red doesn't really show the license plate off as much as the stock bulbs do. But it does look sinister :)

Interesting development. I got my premium cluster and swapped them and now I get the license plate light and reverse light out messages haha.

If you use canbus you'll be good to go! I used resistors for my reverse lights and non canbus bulbs. No bulb out for me!

Yeah, I figured as much. Not much of a deal though it doesn't keep flashing or anything.

Got my bulbs...I have a 2014 Express...just realized I don't have footwell lights! There is a wire with a black connector, but nothing attached! Does Dodge sell that light?
