Well that’s easy enough, just need to recreate time so that I can actually do this. :)

I believe the Laramie, Rebel, Longhorn and Limited all have full LED tail lamps so only Tradesman and Big Horn have incandescent reverse lamps.

Or I could just be SOL with the bsm module in mine that does not leave room for an incandescent bulb LOL.

The Laramie has fully integrated LED tail lights so nothing to swap out unfortunately.

I was only able to swap the cargo and Center brake light to LED. Used a red LED for the Center brake light since white would make it look pink being so bright.

Well right as we stepped outside to head to Church, my reverse lights showed up lol. It will be dark by the time I get back so I’m not sure if I’ll be installing these today. Then I have a wedding tomorrow and shore the rest of the week. Looks like I’ll be in a holding pattern once again. :)

No as I was assured by another forum member that we can’t just swap out bulbs in these trucks now. :(

At least the Laramie has fully integrated LED rear brake and reverse lamps.

Big Horn and Tradesman may have incandescent reverse lamps. I'm not sure.

@DRkNESS It’s only 2 screws, remove one and take a peek. Did you already return them?

Sadly, we both have Laramie and i snapped a pic of housing. There is only one harness and the reverse lamps are integrated LED bulbs.

I removed the blind spot sensor and looked inside and saw the reverse LED lights built into the housing.

I wonder if the Big Horns are the same way. I would imagine so, at least if you ordered the premium led lighting package. Surely they're not making that many variations of lights. If that's the case, no making mine brighter either.

Here are the details. Top photo shows the models.
