Tow mirror signal lights not working

[mxblaster83]

2014 Ram Sport tow mirrors signal lights not working on Both sides..

I have check my light settings and everything is on expect wipers with lights on..

Can both burn out the same time..

And to be honest I've never seen them on in the 5 yrs that I've owned the truck since new..

If I’m not mistaken, they’re LED.

Yes they are led...looks like 4 little lights in each one

Both of mine in my 2014 are out as well. I ordered a set of smoked to replace them. While I am at it, I am going to wire them to be running lights rather than signal lights.
Here is a link if interested.

No. I looked at those because of the price, but they are more dim than the ones I ordered.

In order to change them out, remove the blind spot mirror from the mirror assembly. The turn lamps are accessed from the inside of the mirror housing. Here is a great video showing how.
There is a kit that you can buy to mod the lamps to be both running and signal, but I am not going to pay 60 bucks for it, nor go through the install process. Here is a link if that is the way you want to go.

I am simply going to wire mine to the cab light wire and use them as running light only.

I don’t think you can wire them directly to your cab lights, since they are led I believe you need a resistor and diode.

I used a cheaper kit from jhdlighting.com for $20. Retains the turn signal functionality as well.

Ok, got the new smoked mirror signals installed. Very straight forward, look nice, plenty bright. One thing; the factory screw is a little tight going into the after market light. I took a drill bit 1/64" over and opened up the hole a tiny bit.

Well, hell...

So my buddy has a po box in the US I can use..
I would like to wire these for running and signal is that possible or a pita

 

[Biker]

Saving up to buy these

 

[ErnieBoling]

It is very possible, not too bad of a PITA, and very inexpensive. Another member shared a harness supplier to do the mod.
