So after installing led bulbs in my wife’s little Mazda 3, I loved the output and the look. So I began looking for my 16’ RAM and came across the supernova gen 3 bulbs. But with a price tag of $200, I began to look for an alternative.

I found a clone of the supernova gen 3 led bulbs on amazon, exact bulb down to the zes led chip placement for 49.99. They come with an external canbus adapter but for reassurance I also purchased a A10 led canbus/antiflicker/resistor adapter for $15. I installed the lights 30 minutes ago and At first I just used the included canbus adapter. I received no error codes or bulb out warnings etc..it wasn’t until I pulled up to a building to check the cutoff that I noticed the slightest flicker in the lights.

So I drove home and added the A10 harness and checked them on the side of the building again-no flicker anymore, no error codes etc...just a nice white bright light. The cutoff is near identical to the halogen bulbs, with no glare or scattered light. I drove around for 30 minutes and never got high beamed and pulling up behind a Toyota Corolla my lights cut off perfectly at the top of its trunk just like the halogens. For $55 putting together my own supernova kit compared to $200 for the “official” one I am pretty pleased.

I might have to try one of these. The leds I installed will shut off while in use. Sometimes kick back on but just the other day had to pull over and turn truck off and back on again.

I would try a set of the anti flicker/error cancellation adapters. There are other brands than what I listed for cheaper but I chose the so-cal led one because of other ram owners in the review section saying it worked. I was hesitant because apparently 15 and up rams are very picky with the canbus/PWM System but those A10 decoders seem to be doing the trick.

Ive been looking for something similar for my 15. I CANNOT deal with flickering, or constant bulb out messages. How is the bulb install in these rams? Easy? Or did they make it a pain like the oil filter.

Thanks

Well now I feel stupid for spending the money on the actual kit. Those look great

It’s not hard to install the bulbs-just be careful removing the grill I broke like 3 clips on the back of it lol...it’s still on tight though since the top bolts on and the bottom clips still hold. I was worried about the flickering and error but so far I haven’t experienced any of the above after adding the A10 decoders and I’ve been driving it nightly just to make sure.

Ya I was a little hesitant dropping that much on led bulbs..what made me laugh is the headlight revolution video where they say all leds are the same just the manufactures slap their names on them..which made me go the route I did and can’t say I regret it.

What size bulb did you order? I see that you have screen shots of amazon but I thought that the low beams for the quad headlight were H11. I just want to make sure before I order these because I was doing the same research and watched the same video.
