How do you brighten the compass and temp lights?
Just wanted to let everyone know, I just did this install last night on a 2015 sport. Worked like a dream! The only challenging part was removing the mushroom tabs. Secondly in the video he unplugged the cable to the rear window switch and the overhead little cup holder light. I did not unplug the cables for these! There were clips holding the switch that were much easier to undo and the switch came right out as well as the little light just pops out. Recommend this over trying to undo the clips!
Thanks so much for this video! I followed it and it works like a charm. My lights are great! No flickering at all. I noticed the old lights flickered while I was working on them too. Definitely some connector issue but I prefer these bright ones! Awesome work
Thanks for the feedback Matt and glad you found the video helpful! I agree with the clips but that was my first time taking it apart so I just disconnected everything but like you mentioned probably easier to do it the other way. Let me know what you think of the other RAM videos on the channel too when you get a chance 👍😎
Had a lot of trouble with the speed clips, not as easy as shown on the video. My metal clips stayed in the roof and got bent and would not allow the console back in. Finally figured it out. Lights are 10x better than factory. Awesome!!
Great video, I did the same to my truck except I just plugged LED 194 bulbs into the socket. Probably not quite as bright but much better than it was before.
Can I ask which ones you bought?
My stock ones flicker and I don’t really want the big leds
Great video and definitely helpful. I lost patience on the mushroom tabs and ended up drilling a small hole. It clips back in when done correctly (mine weren't all correct lol). Thanks for sharing great vids
WOW, exactly what I was looking for to fix my lame flickering, dim OEM console lights. I tried a 194 LED bulb since I had some on hand and am so thankful how things turned out. I appreciate you dude! Wish you well in the days ahead.
Hey man, do you mind letting me know where you purchased the light kit from. I tried searching Amazon like the dude said without any luck. Thanks
Thanks for the video. All done on my 2020 1500 DS except I soldered the wires into the wedge sockets as I couldn't get a good connection using the wedges. The hardest part was removing the console as the clips just wouldn't let go and once out I had to repair the clip holders. Hope I don't ever have to remove it again.
I am finally getting around to fixing the same map light issue on my 2015 6.7, thanks DODGE. Great video and detail. Awesome fix. THANKS
Just swapped the overhead map lights! Awesome mod! It’s like daylight in there!
Thats awesome! Its definitely bright thats for sure lol
Man I can’t appreciate you enough for this video! Dodge already replaced it once and it went out AGAIN and they wouldn’t do anything! They wanted $300!!!
I find your video a couple of years ago. And today I finally got around to doing it. Followed your steps and all worked perfectly. Thanks for your help. I love the amount of light I get now.
Best 15 minutes and 7$ I ever spent in my life. Now let’s see how long they last!
Hey brother just wonder a year later are those lights still working?
@@physiques yes they do! Put about 20k on the truck since then with at LEAST 4 times daily opening and closing and leaving the door open while hooking and unhooking trailer and I haven’t lost even one of the little led bulbs in them yet!
@@Tremper126 Thank you for the quick reply I really appreciate it. Hope to find time this weekend to get it done 🖒
Just finished this mod on my '14 Ram CC Sport. WOW, what a difference !!!! Thanks for the great tutorial !!!
Glad you like it!!! 👍👍👍
I changed the map lights in my 2013 ram RT! The new lights are awesome and 100 times brighter! Thanks for the video and the link for the lights!
I followed your video step by step. I cannot emphasize enough - check polarity ! Wires are not held in place in the connector that snaps into the 194 socket, I had to play with it alot to get it to stay. Very impressed by your video, I had some trouble getting the connectors apart to pop the console out. They all come apart differently. End result is very bright. Thanks for filming it !
Heck yeah! Glad you found it helpful and got it working! 💪
@@BoostedMotorsports Did you dig in to the rear dome light ? Mine kind of looks weak now in comparison.
Just finished doing this LED front dome lights upgrade. Works well and very bright over stock. Thanks Boosted...
Hell yeah thats awesome Chris!!
Great video! Went just as expected. Unfortunately 1. They were way too bright and
2. They started flickering after 3 months and then now work intermittently. Came with extras so going to swap out and see what happens. Thanks!
Same thing here. When I re-did it the second time I made the wire lead accessible through the hole on the chrome plate. Now all I have to do is pop the clicker lens off, pull the stick on LED pad out to expose the wiring harness, then plug the new light in and put everything back.
Dude, rock solid post.A great example of where TH-cam can be great. Thanks !
This video was very useful. It helped me change the lights on my 3500 megacab
Awesome Cruz glad you enjoyed it!
Just did it and looks and work great rear sliding window does sucks. Plus they keep the dimming off thanks for the video doing rear dome next
Just installed a pair of 4x6. I struggled somewhat with the connectors but thanks! to your detailed video, all well now. 🛻
GREAT video, love your channel. It was much brighter while it lasted.
I did this upgrade, but should not have. In my case I have an extended warranty, so the console is covered. (I KNOW). Also, the double stick tape pulled the circuit board contacts off the housing, so even though the LED still works, the contacts were broken and after about 8 months I had to replace the whole console. :-(
super helpful, I'm in the same position. thinking I should let the dealer do fix the non - working lights so they are culpable for any issues. Truck only has 18k miles. thanks for posting!
Been looking to upgrade my interior dome lights couldn’t fined any LED’s for my 14 sport truck found your video followed your steps and got it done thanks for this video man 🙏👊
Thank you very much for taking the time to make & post DIY video. Much appreciated.
awesome stuff bro, there's a few vids on older model rams replacing the map lights. this is the first vid I found with the newer style led map lights. mine was flickering but fortunately still under warranty. now I know what to do when they fail again. subbed.
Thanks for the support brother! My truck was out of warranty but this is WAY brighter than the OEM ones so I am happy with the upgrade lol
Thanks for the videos..I did these changes to my ram!! I still have to do my rear cab light still.
Thank you what a nice video. Can’t wait to do this to my ‘13. Isn’t it a shame Stelantis didn’t make this a serviceable part. What a ripoff!
My 2014 Ram truck overhead console lights also flicker, so I replaced them using your video as a guide. Lights are working great. The hardest thing was removing the four connectors. Great video. Thank for sharing.
Just finished installing my Maps Lights. Wow, they are much brighter. Thanks again. on to the Dome Light now in my 2014 Mega
I was told that I needed a new console, just ordered the lights and will be doing what you did, TY
Looks good, great idea. The fact that the LED panels are not centered in the clear covered area would drive me nuts. I'd probably go with bigger LED panels and/or center them and use a frosted vinyl film over the clear cover to "hide" them.
crap, I bought standard 194 LED's from another video..... guess I should have watched the master first off!! Great video boss!!
Lol wish I thought of this. I used regular 194 bulbs and they're obviously not angled the best or in the correct position for the best light reflection. Gonna have to change to these.
Thanks for the video. I just ordered the parts to fix my Ram.
Thanks again bro for the videos! Just finished my led console lights! Went flawless thanks to your video! You da man!
Dude I don’t ever comment on any thing… but dude this shit needs to be shared!!! Nice work
So I just received these from Amazon (followed your link) and instead of a row of 9 LEDs (3 rows of 3)like yours has, the ones they send now have 24 LEDs (8 rows of 3) 😳 Hoping I dont run into clearance issues, and I assume they will be annoyingly brighter, but will see when I install them this weekend. Thanks for the videos!
Hey matt they have different sizes of the same thing! I would try the bigger ones but if not just click on the smaller size in the link 💪
@@BoostedMotorsports No clearance issues, bright as hell. I also did the truck bed LED strips install and some LED fog lights w/DRLs today.. Your videos help out a ton, thanks again.
Great video brother , very informative! I will be doing mine this weekend ! Thanks man !
Thanks Dan! Let us know how you like it! 🤘
Would you mind sending me the link for this light conversion kit. It would be appreciated. Thanks
Great Post. I have seen a couple of other posts where the LED Board was replaced with a bulb and after the bulb would not work or illuminate bright when truck is off and the switch was clicked. Do you have same problem with yours? Doesn't look like it. Thanks
Best yet, followed your instructions works awesome. Thanks
Twist the panel tool for the overhead lights. Sorta like a big flat head it popped right out.
Great Upgrade. I’ve looked on Amazon for an hour and can’t find these parts.
Do you have links to the parts?
The dealership glued the two center pine to remove the overhead console. Any thoughts on how to remove it? Can i replace my oem light bulbs without removing everything?
I think my truck didn't have factory LED, some one put some aftermarket LED bulbs that were a 2x2 connected to the socket and they started flickering. I bought the kit you recommended and had to glue the LED pad into the chrome shroud because its dome shaped . It should work just as well. Currently waiting for the glue to dry so I can finish the instal.
Quite the event to change a bulb .......looking at your video I'm thinking my overhead light on one side isn't as bright as the other side because it might have broken loose and it's out of position, not burnt or otherwise...just out of position....that possible?
Followed this fix and it works great, thank you for sharing!
Just did mine works great super bright. Thank man
Always that face of 😬😑 when removing them clips, in hopes not to snap nothing 😂👌
Great video I used this led for under hood super bright
I just finished this mod, works great. Thanks
I do not have factory LED’s in my 2017 interior console but did replace the factory with LED’s. Since then I noticed my interior lights will not always come on when I open the doors as they should. Dodge told me it’s because I put in LED bulbs. Is that true and why? Thank you and as always great videos!
Honestly its probably just a crappy bulb. You can actually buy the exact same kit that I used in this video on your truck too. Its just 100 times easier to install on yours lol. Just pop out the old bulb and plug it in on yours and you will have these crazy bright LED panels too! Let me know if you need more info!
Boosted2k thanks so much for your reply and information. I will look into the different bulbs and let ya know how it turned out. Thanks!!
Thanks great video just changed mine out today. Appreciate your tutorial.
Awesome. Love how bright they are.
I used a red hot screw driver to cut the plastic lump off of the inside clear cover. Then I cut off the plug on the oem light to give me clearance for the new light harness. This allowed me to hide the light strip between the oem light and chrome piece. The small cover allows 6 of the lights to shine through but now I don’t have to look at that ugly light strip.
Great video bud. I'm glad I found your channel. That 19 Ram is calling me lol.
Thanks for the support!!! Yeah it is pretty nice for sure! I will probably be waiting until they work out any bugs and sort out the styling packages first though!
Awesome video straight forward and pretty easy. I know have dome lights again.
How about the other light around the map lights can that be changed?
Thanks for the video bro . Just did this on my 2015 dodge ram R/T big difference. Just need the rear dome light video so i can do it
What's the part number of the light mod
Hey there man so on the rear dome light I also wanna upgrade did u do that also?
Got the replacement done in my truck.... kind of doubt that I'll be getting the Chrome reflectors off again after I super glued them lol but that's okay. I ran the wires on the spade plug in their original recessed channels cuz the opposite side seemed way too tight and couldn't get it in the outlet. The backside of the sticky tape is really lame, hardly sticks. I guess I could super glue that too LOL. And I've noticed that sometimes the flicker was not because of the LED lights, it must be something else along the line.... Maybe the plug connection? Or maybe a grounding issue somewhere? Or maybe a voltage issue somewhere.... These are pretty nice, they are hella bright, almost too bright. I might make some sort of lamp shade for the map lights LOL
Yeah you have to really make sure those metal prongs have good contact with the clips like I was showing cause mine was flickering too at first! They are definitely bright! 😎
love the vid. I did everything as prescribed. I am having an issue with the lights, they will not turn off. the on and off switch is not working (white switch)Any suggestions? The will turn off if I turn off the internal lights. Help?
I figured it out....Key Off, Door Open: Works
Key On, Door Open: Works
Truck Running, Door Open: Works
Key On, Door Closed, Map Light Clicked: Works
Truck Running, Door Closed, Map Light Clicked: Works
Key OFF, Door Closed, Map Lights Clicked: DO NOT WORK
Hooked them up nice and bright but won’t work individually only with light switch or doors so any suggestions
Nice video I just ordered a set from opt7 for my 09
Nice!!! Yours are a lot easier to replace than these damn ones your lucky lol
Good to know lol 🤣🤣
I did this mod last year after watching your video. The replacement LED's flicker now when they are activated by a door opening. When the overhead lights are pressed (while the doors are closed), they don't flicker. Is this happening to yours after a year? Just wondering if I got bad leds. Both bulbs do it.
Have you upgraded the rear footwell lights ?? i did the fronts SUPER easy install
Buddy good video. To change the light of the middle rear seat. How do you do it ... and what LED light do you recommend. No panel errors.
Thanks
I just did this to my truck and they are perfect. They come on fine if I open the door and turn them on from the dimmer switch, but for some reason they won’t fully light up if I click them on individually. It’s almost like they aren’t getting full power because they are really dim. What do you think would cause them to not fully light up when being clicked on individually??
mine lasted 15 MINUTES and than one got so hot it melted and shorted out and the other one got so hot the glue solidified and it fell onto the plastic cover and discolor and warp it. to powerful for use over 10 minutes continuedly
Just did this worked great!! Thx bro
Awesome glad you like it Hunter! Did you see the rear dome light mod video with these same LED panels?
th-cam.com/video/oCgDkF77zh0/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video! Going to do this install later today. I was wondering if you have ever swapped the vanity mirror lights in you RAM for LED’s, and if so what bulb worked for you?
Thanks Ryan! I haven't tackled the vanity bulbs yet but will definitely make a video on it when it happens! How are you liking the dome lights? 😁
I’m super happy with how they turned out, thanks again for the amazing DIY video for that. I look forward to seeing a video from you in the future for the vanity bulbs!
Tried the mod on my Dodge Ram 2014. The LED LIGHTS WORK but the switches to turn lights off don’t work anymore.
Does this work with the led bulbs that arent like this? Or did i buy the wrong ones . Mine are just to put in place no wire or mounting tape
Nice video very helpful you are a wonderful Person Thank You
Hey man and everyone on here. Not sure if you have hid headlights in them factory headlight housings, But i had a 14 Ram Laramie a couple yrs ago and ran hids in the stock Halogen projectors and now have custom True hid projectors from Retroshopus installed in my headlight pods on my 17 Ram sport 1500 with leather and what a difference. Check into having True hid projectors/Morimotto hid kits installed in them projector lights. You can send your lights to Jeremy the owner of Retroshopus and he takes them apart and can customize them to however you want. He can install Amber/White Switchbacks like i have, Color changing Switchbacks via cell phone, Color changing Demon Eyes which are the Eye on the projector, Color changing Halos and C bars, He can engrave company logos or whatever on the backside of the projector eye which when lit up looks SICK. Check out his youtube headlight builds.
Them are map lights dome lights are in the back and if side lights them are reading lights....
Can you just put in a led 194 bulb into the connector for the original led?
Sure can! Just might have to remove the chrome inserts as they will block most of the light from a regular 194 LED bulb
Hey man I’m trying to find red led for my truck, do they make these in red
I was looking to find these lights can u tell me what brand to find them on Amazon
Great video, have you ordered the rear light yet? Planning on doing these real soon but if I can tackle that rear one at the same time that would be great. Keep the vids comin!
Also, is there a bulb that can simply be plugged back in instead of this style on top of the plastic piece? Would it be brighter than stock? Thanks again
Hey Cheten you can use the same bulbs as the license plate bulbs that I used in this other video. They won't be as bright as the panel but should be brighter than stock.
th-cam.com/video/9M-24badpq0/w-d-xo.html
I haven't tackled the rear yet but looks like I will need to do some soldering on my factory LED light. If you have halogen interior lights on your RAM you will have more options and just be able to get replacement LED bulbs
Nice thanks for video bud!
hey im shopping for a 3rd gen dodge ram 1500 and wanted to know what year the overhead consoles were introduced and for what trims
Ready for the rear dome dyi
I should hopefully tackle that project this week so be sure to check back! Thanks for the support brother!
What about when you open the doors?
Is the console that different on a 2015 because i was able to just change bulbs to get a brighter interior or am i missing something else you did? Love all the video's keep them going.
It depends if your truck came with the LED tail lights and projector headlights. Those trucks also have LED interior lighting prone to failing like the ones you saw me remove. If you just have the standard headlights and tail lights you will have peanut bulbs that you can easily upgrade for LED without going through all the hassle you saw in this video!
Boosted2k wow thanks for that explanation that makes alot of sense. Awesome job!!!
I have a 2015 ram sport and I have the same problem with my interior lights flickering in and out they’re very very weak. What’s the part number or Amazon number to order those online so I can order the right one. Thanks
So, I did this in my 14 limited. It worked well for a few months, but the LEDs in the video description are now failing. Multiple rows are dead and the rest now flash really bad. Has anyone found a better led panel of the same style? I have more of the same ones but I don't feel like doing it again every 6 months.
I'm with you on this. I've now put 4-5 different LED panels and they all fail. Any solutions yet?
@@willingandable1123 I had originally purchased a ten pack of the lights in the video. I looked around online for other options that were similar, but nearly every one had reviews about diodes going bad. I ended up just using the ones I had again. So far they're doing okay. I'd really like to find a more long term solution.
@@mountaingoat755 It seems they work for a few weeks or maybe even a couple of months, but then a row will go out and/or it will start flickering. I've considered soldering the connection rather than "clipping" them together, but I'm afraid the problem is in the LED panel rather than the connection.
Yeah it's definitely the diodes themselves. Mine lost a few lights at a time and the rest would flicker really bad. They are bright, but longevity is an issues for sure.
Since you used that small led board, could I use a bigger led board that fills in the whole chrome section vs a small one like yours ? Or does it have to be a small one with 9 leds, also what about the rear one it won’t match
Yeah you can definitely use a bigger board! I just wanted some smaller ones for the front lights and they came with a bunch in a pack so I used the rest on the rear dome light 👍
Great video, done well. However, I may have missed this. What is the package (light kit) that I need to order from Amazon?
Thanks Bert! I have it linked in the description of this video. Theres a ton of companies that sell these cheap LEDs but I might find a different brand cause a couple led on the circuit has died off.
Do you have an order/parts number for panel for the repair from Amazon kit , having issue with so many different kits ?
I did this upgrade using the same led’s and have had to replace them twice, they fail quickly.
Has anyone done both ways? You can just replace the halogen bulbs with LED bulbs via the plastic cover that you press up OR do this route. Is there any difference between the two ways?
I did this upgrade, but my led bulbs don’t last long. 1-2 months at most. Any suggestions on a longer lasting bulbs?
Is there any way to fix the broken push button that actually turns on the lights?
Do you think I could add the overhead console? I dont have one and I do think the wiring is there...anyone cut through the headliner and made that change?
Just got my kit, just have to find time to tackle it... Switched out my glove box light for one of those though, Super easy. Any concerns regarding the heat these little guys put out? It got awful hot while trying to position it in the box
Shouldn't be an issue with heat. I've had them in other vehicles in the past with no issues 😎
Can someone tell me if you can just buy the whole unit with the white leds i hate the yellow accents and my lights are hard wired in
Does the knob to dim the light still function as before?
Thanks man.
Thank you!
Nice vid. I was pissed when Chrysler wouldn't replace my maplight console for a 3rd time because the first two map lights did the same thing. (Dim/flicker) so I just ordered some myself for $7.73 I believe. One problem down, more problems to go!
Let me know how you like it Braden! I might try another brand soon. This one a couple led on the panel started acting up lately but this idea still stands! 🤘😎
Wow!!!! excelente explicación, 🙏🏾Tks
Awesome dude, great video(s)!
