HOW TO: 2013+ LED Tails into a 4th Gen

[BlackRamHemi]

bulbs are cake, autozone.

Looks like I don't need bulbs either, Chris has the whole meal deal,
What a life saver! He's going to check on international shipping tomorrow.

Thanks Chris!

Wow they're even SRT pigtails, bonus!! LOL


You just saved me a trip to Honduras!
(Tag says that's where they are made)

Just paying it forward! Helping out those in need when I can.

SRT.. I didnt even notice that. I just wanted a back ground while in my truck.

I'm going to get some bubble wrap from work so the bulbs don't break in shipping, I will send them out tomorrow for sure.

Finding these may have meant a trip to Honduras! No known part number... smh!

Enjoy!

Looks like I may have a pair of harnesses generously donated by a forum Brother with a spare.
I think I just need to get a couple reverse bulbs and your adapter now.

Hey after reading this thread over and then over again I determined I have the same situation as you, the newer tails but luckily I had the reverse light harness included.
So my question is, do I just need to go ahead and follow the OP for them to work or is there something I'm missing here? Thanks

Okay, so I found these photos and instructions, but it says 2013 2500/3500 at the top of the page... then I looked under the dash of my 2013 1500... everything matches perfectly... so now I'm just working up the guts to cut a perfectly good wire on my new truck haha!

If I'm reading the instructions right, it says I'm supposed to cut the white/grey wire and ground the side that connected to the plug... what happens to the other side? I guess I'll tape it up at least.

Anyone got any comments or advice?

Thanks

How'd this end up working, btw?
I'm waiting for some decent weather to tackle this myself.

Has anybody besides me tried it? Has anybody had success with it? I grounded the connector side of that ware and still get hyperflash. I wonder what I disabled by cutting that.

Nice

Anyone figure out what to do if the harness on the tail light that has the reverse bulb didn't come with the lights? I just got some in and that harness is missing...

This harness will connect from truck to LEDs? So, I can get my 2013+ OEM LEDs working? If so, what's the part number?

OEM? Part #'s?

Lucky you! I've been looking for wiring also but no luck. Bought the LED tails, had them tinted, bought JJ's harness, went to put them on and found out something was missing. Guess I should have researched a little better....lol.

 

[NightReaper]

New owner here. For clarification...is there a plug and play adapter available for purchase for the 2012?


Thanks in advance!

I grabbed mine from Jeremy at the RetroShop.

Does anyone know where I can get a set of these? I have the conversion harness from Jeremy already as well as the lights, but I am also missing the pigtails that are supposed to be on the back of them

I can't find them anywhere!

 

[turboguy327]

Can I wire these tail lights to make the LEDs strobe? I have a plow truck and have hideaways in the reverse lights and brake lights. I'd want to keep both but can't use a hideaway in the brake light section as there is no reflector. But if I can wire the LEDs to strobe with a Whalen strobe controller I'll make the switch.

I'm another fool who got a set of LED tail lights without the harness. Have JJs adapter waiting on the bench too. If anyone has a set let me know please!

 

[DRkNESS]

^^^. Wow sorry to hear that, before I purchased anything I contacted the vendor to ensure what I needed. It was suggested to me to buy them new from the dealer. This way I was 100% assured of having everything needed. Yes it was costly, but for the peace of mind it afforded me it was worth it.

I was in the same situation as you. Luckily I found a pair with wires attached and sold the previous ones that were without.

While searching however, I came across a guy on the Cummins forum that makes and sells these wiring harnesses. I think he sells the for $50 shipped to US, $75 shipped to Canada; US pricing

His user on Cummins Forum is wayned87

Cheers!

Thanks metric! Sent him a PM. I'll let you know what he says.

That was cool seeing a fellow forum member help out in times of need.
