LED Head and taillights in 17 SLT

[rvance]

I was disappointed in the amount of light that my 17 Ram 1500 SLT quad cab was putting out.

I changed the taillight bulbs to these which were twice as bright as stock IMHO:

AUXITO LED Tail Light Bulb 3157 3156 3056 3057 3047 4057 4157 LED Bulbs for Stop Brake Tail Light, Brilliant Red (Pack of 2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V67K1L7/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_tivAEbDWXYTKG

I had to use resistors to stop the fast flashing and Light Out warning.
I used these and attached them to the inner metal housing with screws :

KOOMTOOM Canbus Decoder 3157 Anti Flicker Harness Load Resistor Turning Signal Light Brake Light Backup Lamp Car Led Flickering Warning Error Canceller Decoder https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V5C2FCG/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_RqvAEbAFRK10J

I changed the headlights to LEDs and I had to set them to LED in Alfaobd. The Alphaobd took much longer than the install. The new LEDs are much brighter and whiter than stock. I was planning on putting in aftermarket projectors but after this I am satisfied. Took 40 minutes total.
I used these bulbs :
Fahren 9005/HB3/H10 LED Headlight Bulbs, 60W 10000 Lumens Super Bright LED Headlights Conversion Kit 6500K Cool White IP68 Waterproof https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NPMMNR3/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_fxvAEb69CH2SM

I changed the backup lights to led and didn't have to do anything else.
I used these :

JDM ASTAR Extremely Bright 2000 Lumens 360-Degree Shine 921 912 90-EX Chipsets LED Bulbs For Backup Reverse Lights, Xenon White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GGK6QDW/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_3yvAEbTK0G12X

That's it!

Nice job, I might try those tail and backup lights myself...

Got any truck pics to show them off????

I changed the headlights to LEDs and didn't have to do anything at all. The new LEDs are much brighter and whiter than stock. I was planning on putting in aftermarket projectors but after this I am satisfied. Took 40 minutes total.

You know the rules.... no pics or it never happened LOL
curious why you didn't go the AlfaOBD route?

Because I got lost in Alfaobd last time I used it and I didn't want to do it again. It would not have stopped the fast flashing, which was the only thing I had to work around.
I posted this because it is hard to find the exact things I need on here so I put what I did and what I used.
I don't see the need for pictures. That would have just slowed me down. Imagine the headlights with a bright white light and the taillights with bright red light.

Note: I just edited the first post because I forgot that I had to use Alphaobd for the headlights. Sorry.

If you are referring to his use of resistors, Alpha didn't work on my tail LEDs either, I finally installed cheap resistors to end the headache.

I could take the truck apart again to take pics, but I am hoping that there will be some people who find it useful without them.
