Hello All
Just wanted to share my experience in getting my DRL's activated on my 2016 2500 Projectors. I couldn't find much information on this forum while I was doing some research but a couple of the other Ram Forums had the info that I needed. If you are interested in getting your DRL's activated it's fairly simple although your dealer will probably tell you otherwise. When I went in for my first oil change I asked them to activate them and the tech told me that the 'LM5" sales code that needed to be flashed to my truck for this to happen wasn't available for my VIN. I showed them the document which I have attached here but none of them "had seen anything like this before" and didn't want to spend any time looking into it. So, I went home and quoted all of the comments from the other forums, where guys were told the same thing but eventually found a tech willing to try it, along with the attached document again and emailed it to my service advisor at my dealership. They have been super helpful in the past and very easy to get along with. A week later the service manager left me a message and said that he had the parts manager add it to my VIN as a dealer installed option and for me to give it a week to show up for my truck and then schedule appt. to come in and try it. So I ended up going in a week later and after about 45 minutes the service manager came and told me it was done. Sweet! He said that was the first time they had been able to do that without adding a physical part. The DRLs work great and are super bright....they are the amber LED parking lights for the projector headlights. I don't know why they don't come from the factory like this to begin with. If anyone is in Central Indiana, give York Chrysler in Crawfordsville a call and they'll hook you up. Good group of folks.
Sorry for the long post.
