Right rear tailight bulb is burned out

[Turbo Terry]

2022 ram 3500. 2 bolts easy to replace. Replace with factory or buy led and do both sides for the longevity. Then there there are brake lights change all to led or not .My lights are always on. Looking for a good discussion and good advice Thanks

@Turbo Terry, I would replace "all" with LED. They will last much longer and not need the current flow. May trip the bulb out failure light. If you have access to AlfaOBD, you could have the settings changed to LED bulbs to avoid that. I'm running LED's in the front turn signals due to the fact that I have them set as DRL's, and they're on whenever truck is in gear. Changed them to LED in AlfaOBD to not have bulb out light! Will do the same when rear bulbs go out.

from what I understand on these trucks, with their electronic systems that can warn you of problems like a bulb being out, replacing a standard bulb with an LED may cause issues with the warning system because of the difference in resistance of a LED versus a standard bulb

in other words the system in the truck will see an LED as a problem compared to the electrical load it is supposed to see in that given circuit.

or go thru the routine Topside was talking about


I would put a standard bulb in it and keep on trucking..

Good advise. Stock bulb no issues and less money. Thanks for both replys

You can also look for long life HD bulbs, some sizes are available that way.
Last significantly longer then ordinary chepos.

Wagner 3157 your looking for. They have the third leg to keep the filament from swinging.
