Would this work on 2015 fog light ?

[Limeybastard]

Just wondering if the following would be a direct swap out for the stock bulbs in the 2015 fog lights?

9006 HB4 9012 40W CREE Power LED 4000Lm Fog Light All in One Driving Bulb White | eBay

I took out the 45W 9145 bulbs in mine and put in a pair of 9005 Sylvania Silverstar XFEs. 9006s will not work because the plug in is different. However it's the same as a 9005. It will be a little harder to install the bulbs in the housing because the plastic tabs are a hair off, but I got mine in with no modifications. They are bright as hell due to being 65W and the front of the bulb isn't dipped either. I thought about going the LED route with the fog lights, but I figured they would be too bright and the housings would throw the light everywhere and blind oncoming drivers.

At this point without a '15 specific harness with the correct resistance nothing other than halogen will work. When I first bought my 15 I tried led and hid's and with some help from jj figured out that the 15's were a new beast when trying to upgrade the lighting. I just tried led pods for fogs hoping that would draw enough power to trick the computer and no luck. The only leds that I can get to work are the interior lights and the license plate lights.

Thanks, so basically you put in beefier halogen bulbs into the stock fog housing? I was wondering wouldnt the current or power draw be too much for this?

 

[1500ram12]

I added Sylvania silver star ultras in the heads and fogs. I believe as long as you add a halogen bulb you will be fine

I'm about to upgrade my truck to LEDs from GTR.com. Below is a link to a product they sell that should fix the low voltage issue:

CANBUS Module for GEN 2 Single Beam LED Headlight Conversion Kits - GTR Lighting

If it works well on the headlights, I might use them on the tail lights as well. I recently acquired an OEM set of LED tail lights but they will hyper flash without proper resistance.

It will work on 14 and below. The 15's are a different animal when it comes to lighting. No one has a canbus adapter for the 15's.

So is there anything that we can replace LED wise to the outside stock assemblies without errors? Only the license plate light so far works for me. The reverse canbus cree gave me errors . wanting to do something to the fog and headlights and also third brakw light bar. Thanks.

You need a CANBUS compatiable LED bulbs, and Ram needs a special kind of CANBUS which is not known to be out on the market as of this time!

Put the 9006 LEDs from Xenon Depot in my 2015 Longhorn fogs. Weird install - the driver side needed a CANbus adapter, the passenger side did not. Without the adapter, the driver side would flash and then go out.

FWIW, I also did 9012 LED lamps in the headlights - same story. The driver side needed a CANbus adapter, the passenger side did not.

They've been working fine now for about a week with the adapters just on the driver side lamps. Can't explain why, but it works so far. Hope this helps...

I tried to put 9005's in my 2015 and the "rails" inside prevented this from happening, 9145 have 1, 9005 have 2, because I read this was possible on this forum, so now I have 2 sets of bulbs that are useless to me unless I dremel them or something...

I put a set of $15 eBay 9005 LED bulbs on my 15 fog lights assuming they wouldn't work but didn't care because they cost $15. Almost certain they weren't going to work because I tried putting LED pods down there and they wouldn't work with the factory wiring. Believe it or not these cheap eBay LEDs actually work. I read some guys said they put LED fogs in and they'd work for 15 min and shutoff, I drove for an hour last night and they stayed on the entire way home.

As far as light output they're pretty lousy, that's not why I put them in. My projector retrofit is so bright it'll wash out just about any set of fog lights. I simply wanted my fogs to be the same color as my HID headlights. If that's what you're looking for then these will work.

That's what I'm looking for, something to match 6K HID low beams without having to go HID in the fogs. For $18.99 I think these are at least worth a shot.

Your's is a 2015 correct? Just wondering because under your screen name it says Ram Year 2014.

Yea I have a 2015. Traded the 2014 in May so I should change that.
