LED DOOR HANDLE BEZELS / NEED HELP

[circuitguy]

Looking to add a pair of lighted LED door handle bezels like come factory in the Ram Limited. Anyone out there done this? Anyone have a diagram as to where and how to wire them? Any help would be great.

Looks like the wires come from the door modules. There are only 2 door module part numbers (at least for my '17) so if you have power folding mirrors, most likely you can use the module. The non power fold module might work but I have not seen one in person to see if connector c5 is pinned.

Thanks for the info! I already have the power fold modules. Do you think I will be able to just tap onto the two wires at the module or will I need to buy the two female plugs and pin them myself? Also will the wire locations and colors be the same for both driver and passenger doors?

I'll get a screenshot of the passenger connector later... Same pins and colors iirc.

Personally i would get the connectors and pins, I like factory connections vs "hacking" something together. The connector number in the screenshot is available but is actually 2 pieces... The underscore separates the part numbers you need.

I'm not sure how you could make a good reliable connection to only the pins on the module anyway...... Lots of vibration and bouncing in the doors.

Other than these two part numbers do I need any other parts to build the connector? Do I need to buy a special crimping tool?

You will need the pins for those connectors and a set of crimpers like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4L8QMW

Give me an hour or so and I can get the correct part number for the actual pins.

Sent you a PM.

Post up the process when you get it done. Looks like a cool mod

Will do!!

Not sure if you’ve seen this or not. Might be of some assistance. It looks like there are a couple of different LED setups

Will be working on this tomorrow, wish me luck! I never was so good with wiring.

Look forward to the outcome of this. I too have power fold mirrors on my 16 R/T and would love to add these led handles if it goes together like from the factory. Good luck

Hey circuitguy, did you ever get around to doing this yet?

Not yet. Have not had the time to do it. To busy staying warm, its cold in that garage!

Gotcha, I think I'm gonna buy the led bezels and add them to my 16 R/T. Im hoping its easy to do

I got the wiring diagram to do it, looks easy just need to make the time. Gona be a cool upgrade when done.

Id love to know how to do but don't know what to get. I don't do much wiring.

I will post here a "how to" thread on this once I finish mine. Maybe soon!

Sweet. That would be great. Thanks man.

Just did mine last week, was a very simple setup. I installed limited panels which came with the LED handles and map pocket leds. The cable was there for the map pockets, so i cut it in the middle and ran the connector to the handles, spliced into C5 connector and ran wires to pin 3 and 9. The wires went yellow into 3 and white into 9. Enabled the LEDs in the bcm with alpha obd and wallah, all worked smooth.
