I'm interested in input on this also. 2016 Ram Laramie, has 33,000 miles now, originally bought in November 2016, I bought it as used certified with balance of factory warranty. Passenger brake light went out. Dealer quoting me $300+ for replacement. I think it should be a warranty item, parts guy (over the phone) couldn't give me an answer. No way I'm paying that.


I have a spare set of LED LongHorn taillights (2016) if your interested.

So I went ahead and purchased a pair of the aftermarket sport LED taillights. I do have to say these are in every way identical to the factory Mopar ones. Other then it missing the Mopar logo they are exactly the same. I paid $300 for the pair delivered, the Mopar ones are over $420 a pair. Whats everyone's thoughts? Here are some pics.

You shouldn’t have any problems with them. If you ever need the same for headlight housings I would highly advice buying oem or high quality aftermarket

They look really good! Are they for trucks that came with LED as OE? I have regular halogen taillights and would definitely be interested in getting a set.

well they do the job and cost less put them on I think they look like mine but the real test is when they light up do they look the same and also are they D.O.T approved it should have it stamped into the plastic

Got the aftermarket sport taillights in yesterday, installed them this morning. Love the quality and the look. I will get more pics tonight while lit.

Here are some evening pics. All looks great, very bright. I also changed the backup lights to LED at the same time, I think I need brighter ones. I guess there worth the $15 I paid for them.

Make sure you select radial buttons for projector headlights and 1,000 lumens to get the correct reverse LEDs. Should be $89.00 for the pair.

Think the ones I have now are only 300Lum.

I bet, I used TYC projectors in my 2011, like 1/2 the cost of OEM....was only missing the Mopar sticker.

Put BEAST10 in promo code to get 10% off. Ram Beast on YouTube features Headlight Revolution on his channel so they gave his viewers a 10% promo.
