I didn't pay attention. If I get a chance when the rain stops I'll try to check it out.

Post #45 I listed the lights I use. All plug and play with no errors. There are some other bulbs from other members also on this thread listed below.

Thanks! Very helpful. That answers a lot of questions. If I understand correctly, I need resistors for the tails, but not the fronts.
Cool, thanks! I've already got the 13-LED version of those CW9s, so I don't wanna waste 'em if they'll fit. (Plus, brighter doesn't hurt either.)
Thanks, y'all!

One for sure way to tell is just try to pop them in there.
Easy to take the third brake off, just two Phillips head screws.

True enough, I guess I'm just trying to get in some scouting by those who have been there.
Can you confirm that I need resistors on the taillights but not the front marker/turns? That's what that manual excerpt from the other thread seems to say.

I have no clue. I have factory LED.

I glanced at the cargo light earlier and it looks like there should be room for a bulb that's about 1/4" longer.
No promises though. Lol

Cool. Worth giving it a shot then. Thanks for taking a look!

UPDATE: They fit perfectly with plenty of room to spare, and they look great.
Thanks for your help! I just ordered my third brake light, dome light, and license plate lights. They should be here in a couple days.

Ended up buying these since they were less lumens than other set. Installed today and still have the light out error message..?

Unfortunately I don't have an answer. I don't get any messages on my 7" cluster EVIC. I wonder if there is different wiring in your 2014 vs. my 2013.

You need the CAN-BUS bulbs I linked.

Kind of what I'm thinking as well. I used can-bus LED's for my reverse lights and I'm getting an error message for those though also...?

Which bulbs did you use for them?

That's weird. I had a pair of this exact one (well, the "natural white" one) in mine as backup lights for a while for testing, and it never sprouted a single error.
Then again, I just have a stock Tradesman without premium lighting, the basic stereo (UConnect 3.0), and no other electronic options -- not even power locks or windows.
Maybe that's the difference?

Thanks for the info. Mine has the premium cluster as well, so that must be the issue.
So for the reverse lights, aside from installing a resistor, there is no way to make them work? What about a brighter (higher draw) LED?
What about using the CREE bulbs from Retro-Solutions? Any idea if those give an error message on the reverse bulbs?

I still have a message with the Retro-Solutions bulbs.

Hmm.. ok. That's a bummer. Sounds like I'll have to go back to the stock bulbs then. The error message is a little annoying.
