OEM LED Taillight Upgrade

[circuitguy]

Looking to buy a set of OEM LED Taillights from my 17 Ram Tradesman. Will these just plug in and work with no issues? Is there any programming or parts needed to make these work with my truck?

negative, they are not plug and play.

you will not need to program anything on the truck, but you DO need a part.

https://shop.retroshop.us/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=13.TL.Adapt here is the part you need to make those tailights work with a non-led tail truck.

Jeremy @retro shop is a great guy, stands behind his products and is incredibly knowledgeable.

they're $135 for the adapters, and you technically *could* build your own. I sourced parts to build my own harnesses, and was going to end up spending about $97 to make them. and mine would not have been as pretty as jeremy's.

if you have more questions, let me know.

The harness is perfect to add the LED upgrade...did on my 2015.

they're so much brighter than the incandescent lights. and they look waaaay better.

i have LED in my reverse lights (really i have LEDs everywhere) and the taillights look so good. brightened up the rear view cam at night too

I will admit that I do like the look of the LED taillights.

Your truck looks great with those LED taillights.

Thanks for all the info! I can get the taillights for $125.00 off of a 2014 Ram Sport so the $135.00 for the adapters aint that bad. Now i just have to make the purchase.

Maybe a few pictures of the process when the time comes?

If you'd prefer Laramie LED tails let me know and I would be glad to switch.

fwiw $125 is VERY cheap for those lights. at least compared to the prices around houston. I got mine for $150 and could have immediately profited

For $125 you better snatch them up right now! One of the most noticeable mods I’ve done well noticeable to myself.

I paid $300 for the Laramie tails to put on my 13 ram. That's a fantastic price.
My 18 came with em.

I already told the seller that I wanted them now just waiting on him to figure the shipping cost.
