That answers a pending question I had over the phone with the local Ram dealer. I wasn't sure if the improved design for the CHMSL (not sure what that stands for, but the square cab vents behind the bed) was through Ram or was aftermarket. Now, I know!

I will update soon about the condish of my vents.

Thanks to all!
CHMSL = Center High Mount(ed) Stop Light

2014 Laramie 1500. I ordered LED reverse lamps and an LED for the 3rd brake light.
I ordered the wrong LEDs for the reverse but found they fit in the cargo lamps. So now I have LED 3rd brake light, LED cargo, and LED reverse.
The reverse lights are like rear-facing headlights and the cargo lights are like stadium lighting. In reverse I can light up the whole back yard, about 3/4 acre.
The 3rd brake light bulb from the factory wasn't bad but the LED kicks it up a bit.
The assembly has never leaked on my truck even though I've had it apart and re-assembled at least 6-7 times.
What brand and sizes did you use!

It will vary by year, options package, etc. Everything I got that actually fit, worked, and are very bright, came from here...


Set the details for your vehicle and they point to all the choices for your applications.

EDIT: My truck came with LED parking lights and turn signals front and rear, from the factory. Even interior lighting is LED.
I just needed reverse, 3rd brake, and cargo.

I'm still on the fence about changing from halogen to LED headlamps as it is illegal and I have to get inspected annually.
