HD Turn Signals

[ZaTHRaS]

Doesn't AlfaOBD allow to change setting on output of lights to enable LED usage? I believe this function handles the resistance which may be the issue with just replacing bulbs...
"LED Front Turn Lamps Present: No" This is my setting with standard bulbs.

YMMV, I have a '22 Tradesman

After reading this thread, I went and looked at the turn signals on my 2021 2500 Laramie. I got the LED package when I ordered it but have no idea if the turn signals are LED or not, headlights and tailights are, as are a lot of the internal lights. Whatever they are the turn signals seem more than plenty bright to me. I really don't see the advantage to all this effort just to change them to LED. Does Ram make and OEM, LED turn signal that goes in one Laramie, and a non-LED that goes in other Laramies, or what am I missing here?

You won’t notice the difference until you actually change them out. Every single vehicle in the last 8 years I’ve switched the turn indicators to LEDs made a drastic difference. The biggest difference is laterally and the fact that they produce a more full light pattern. Most incandescent bulbs are less than 400 lumens while most LEDs are well over that amount (800-1400lm typically). You WANT people to see your lights so the brighter the better. People are stupid drivers these days so you need every safety advantage you can get and bright ass LEDs are a safety feature.

Okay, if that is your reasoning I hope you find what you are looking for. My rear lights are already LED, so I may one day actually check if the fronts are too.

My 2019 Bighorn is LED, Front and Rear...

I did want to confirm these Lasfit bulbs do in fact work without hyper flashing. The downside is without a bulb at the end they aren’t as bright as others I’ve had in other vehicles. But they’ll do just fine.

I've had zero hyper flash on my truck, and with the design of the housing they are plenty bright. At-least 150% of the halogen during the day and I'd say closer to double at night just due to how human visual perception works. Run the same bulbs in the wifes ford edge (similar LED setup where only the turns are halogen) and they're significantly brighter than the stock bulbs with only a single bulb instead of dual per side like our trucks.

Longer term I'll probably get a set of the limited housings or the morimotos like past trucks for projectors, but for now they've gotten rid of the halogen annoyance.
