So I have my 14' Laramie and it has the LED tail lights from the factory I have never had an issue with them until I moved to Texas, when it rains it keeps giving my the tail light out message, it was for the driver side and the light was on but the brake light and blinker did not work, let the truck sit for a day and it's been working fine since then, it rained again today, drove my truck and as soon as I put it in gear it is now telling me my passenger side tail light is out, then I push the brakes and it appears to be working. Not sure what's going on.

Anyone else had issues with them?

I put new OEM LED tails in my 10', no issues at all.
but what you are describing sounds like a loose pin in the connector.

I had a similar problem with my drivers side front LED turn signal on a new Projector head.

Sometimes the wire that goes into the backside of the stock connector isn't seated firmly.

I live in TX and have them on my 14 Black edition express and no issues so far and it's been raining constantly. I haven't even washed my truck in a couple weeks because of the rain. May want to take it to the dealer. Something isn't sealed properly would be my 1st guess since it happens when it's raining a lot.

For sure, just don't want them to not be able to replicate the issue and not fix it.

I was behind a sport yesterday and when he hit the brakes the drivers side light would come on but just be the normal brightest like if you had the headlights on without hitting the brakes. The drivers side though would be on full brightness.

Thought that was weird.

They should be able to replicate it with a hose of its a water problem since that will put a lot more water in that area than rain.
