Haha that is funny. One button I can't figure out how it works is the one that shows a bulb and downward slashes like it looks like it means under the truck lights or under the bumper?? I've had a 300 and a Charger, never a truck so it's new to me. It's on the left hand side right by the dimmer. I've looked online but can't figure it out! And I know it's a terrible explanation lol.

that's the rear cargo light
Like the third brake light or the bed lights? I don't have the bed lights, on a fully loaded Laramie go figure. So I guess that's why I couldn't figure it out lol

There are white lights on the 3rd brake light that shine into the bed. That's what it's for. It will also turn on the bed lights, if you had them installed.

Thanks for the info. Did you trade in your stock tires to discount? Mind letting me know what they gave you and how much out the door you spent?

Sure did could of kept them 3 still had a good amount of tread on them but didn’t want to deal with the hassle of storing them. I got $90.xx for them.. basically offsets the cost of the 3 year warranty they offered figured why not especially with the amount of traveling I do.. roughly since I don’t have the receipt nearby I paid about $1050 ish that’s mounted/balanced, free rotation etc. I had them price match Tirebuyer .com, there’s two currently a $50 off Falken there that they also discounted me $75 for that also. Figured if they priced matched, mounted. Balanced and took the discount code it was worth not ordering them online and having to have them shipped to the house and then paying for them to be mounted elsewhere and then making any warranty process harder.

Thank you!! Every time I've been working in the bed at night I hit the unlock to illuminate the brake light lol. If I had any wiring experience I'd add the bed lights but oh well lol.

I have little to no experience either, which is partly why I haven't done it too. I have factory bed lights, but bought more pods to go in the bed. There are youtube videos, and it's really only 2 wires and an in-line fuse block.

I've been learning slowly on how to do little things. All the small mods I've done on the truck I've done myself. My buddy worked at the service department at my dealer before we moved across the state and would do all the work on my 300 and then Charger if I wanted something added. I'm trying to build a bond with this truck so that I don't ditch it after a year or two like I have with my 300/Charger. So something that seems simple gets me all riled up lol.

I thought the same thing when I first got mine. The graphic is almost identical to the graphic for the fog lights on my previous truck so I assumed it was the same. Took me a few days to figure out why they weren't going on!
