Hey guys - not many are aware but the 2024 Heavy Duty tails are significantly cheaper than the 19-23 versions, as they do not have amber turn signals, just red, like the 4th gen tails

Buy a set of 4G to 5G tail lamp adapters from RetroShop (he makes them for factory LED, or factory incandescent trucks) and here are the 2024 part numbers which are about 300-400 cheaper per set than the 19-23 versions

Note - these are non-blind spot versions as well

Red (non Night Edition)

68639095AA - Left​

68639094AA - Right​


Night Edition (cherry/darker red, with black middle portion)

68639093AA - Left​

68639093AA - Right​


I just did the conversion on my 2018, using Night Edition heavy duty tails from the 2024 listed above, got both delivered brand new from Mopar for $620 and added the Retroshop adapters and it was plug and play and what a nice upgrade from the 4th gen tails

Thanks for the info. They're definitely nice and modernized the rear end. It's about 900cad + ship and tax and then the adapter from retroshop is needed. Too steep for my blood.

Well I do have a set of OEM sport tails (smoked/dark cherry red LED) and a 3rd brake light that matches perfectly to the smoked cherry red OEM tails with a new updated gasket (no RTV etc), LED bulbs for no errors in it, and the Retroshop adapters for the tails for 4th gen if you are interested- Would be much less than the 5th gen conversion and update your rear if you currently have halogen-
