I specifically wanted the Blind Spot monitoring but that looks great option.

Since there's 67 pages here, can anyone answer if it's possible within this thread to add BSM to a 2015 ram 1500 with factory LED? Preference would be to not have those fugly rear taillights, but worst case the custom paint jobs help tremendously. If it's doable and the info is in the thread, I can read through it and figure it out and ask any additional questions, but I'd rather not read a book if it's going to end in disappointment lol.

It will end in disappointment, You absolutely have to have the new style tail lights. The sensor is integrated into them.

Bummer. Is it doable with the 5th gen tails though? Do the tails from two three designs come with the sensor? May not be that bad with the lenses smoked out.

Ok, I read through quite a bit and found a parts list but I'm still not entirely clear on how to hook everything up. It looks like there may be a few guys that make and sell the relevant harness. If you guys can provide the harness and some good direction, I'd be happy to give you my money. I have a 2015 sport with factory leds. I'd like the amber turn signal if possible. Sounds like I should be good to go with a main harness, 5th gen tails with retroshop amber turn harness, alpha OBD, and the BSM mirror glass?

Add another mod to the list. I’m about 90% done with this one. Only thing left to do is wire in some indicators for the the BSM functionality. Still mulling over what I want to do, I like my sport mirrors and don’t really want tow mirrors but that might be the way I’m headed. I don’t think I wanna add an LED to the sail panel but we’ll see. Big thanks to @Roman217 for the custom module to get this to work in my ‘19 Classic. Here is a video from today of me testing out the the tail light functionality.

5th Gen HD Blind Spot Monitoring Tail Lights on my 4th Gen

In this video I’m just testing out the new harness I installed to add the 5th Gen BSM tail lights to my 4th gen. Making sure the amber turn signals were wor...

Well I got everything wired up now. Just put in some temporarily LEDs to get the BSM up and running. Unfortunately there is one issue, every time I start the truck, I get a message saying that BSM is turned off even though it is actually on. Everything appears to be working as it should (at least I can confirm cross path detection was working properly as it was going off as cars drove past my driveway as I was trying to back out). I guess this is an issue related to the 4th gen ‘Classics’ without a solution yet which kinda sucks.

Subd to your youtube, will there be a video showing what you did?

Unfortunately I did not video the install for this one as I did it in stages but everything is pretty much covered in this thread. And if you need help with any wiring I’m pretty sure @Roman217 has you covered.
