    2017 Ram Tail Lights

    I found a used set of OEM LED tails instead of the incandescent ones I do currently have. Does anyone know if their plug n play or will I have to have the stealership turn on a sales code for them to work. I already have to visit the stealership anyways for some other features I've bought and added to function properly but wanna know if I will need these as well

    I’m pretty sure the wiring harness ends are completely different and that you will have to get it programmed to the truck.

    Just look on YouTube.

    I’ve seen videos of factory LED taillights being installed.

    You are going to need something like this....

    The good news is that you should not need a sales code added by the dealership if you use a harness adapter.

    Thanks for the clarification Greg. I knew the wiring was different and was told at the dealership that to convert from standard light to LED that a sales code would be needed so the lights would work correctly.

    Obviously the service writer is clueless!!

    I bet his thought was that if you just cut off the standard plug and spliced the LED plug in line you would need a sales code.

    Or maybe I'm giving him too much credit.

    So funny thing is it's cheaper for me to have them enable the sales code instead of buying those adapters.

    Mainly because I'm going there for them to enable at least 4 other sales codes as well any who.

    Same price for all of em at once as long as it doesn't take more than an hour.

    That makes sense.

    Unfortunately I don't know of a place where you can just buy the pigtail socket part.

    Got that from the truck I got the tail lights from.

    They cut a out 4 inches of the pig tails for me to solder in.
