2022 2500.. there is another box in the way of the plugs and what a PITA. The G (blue connector) with pin 16 wasn't too difficult, but the F connector was a nightmare to get off/on.. Thank god for small hands. I also didn't need to use the fuse panel connection 17.. The lights work fine after tapping into G16 and F6 (which kind of tells me there is probably a plug in the back somewhere I didn't find and didn't need to do any of that, but now I have some new intel for future add-ons.
The Light Kit should have came with a Genie Software Flash Module. Mine did. Installed the lights, stuck the Genie in the mod port under the dash, followed the instructions, lights work just fine. Also installed the OEM Electric Trailer Brake switch. Same type install without a single issue.
@@johns2590 yup, had to find LED strip lighting and wire them up to the lines that were on the existing bed lighting. Mine didn't throw any codes when I wired them up.
Question . 2023 larimi is what i have.. shouldn’t it be pre wired behind the rubber cap in the bed? For 70k id figure when i remove my caps there should be a wire harness to plug into??
@hammerdownmotorsportsusa Great job on the video!! You have undoubtedly helped many other Ram owners taking on this install themselves! Question for ya.. I've been reading that pins 5 & 16 from under the dash both have pre existing wires that travel along the frame to the wiring harness connection (XY670A) shown at 3:42 - 3:47 in your video. Are you able to confirm if this is true? If so, I think I should be able to just add the two pinned wires from the Mopar Kit into the empty pin slots at the rear side of that XY670A harness near the rear driver's side tire rather than running that kit's wire the length of the truck and through the firewall. I'd just have to shorten and re-pin those two wires, or Coil it and zip tie it up and out of the way of any heat/pinch hazards.
$150 for the lights and then $200 to flash the computer and make it work at the dealership so you're looking at almost $400 after tax that is like not worth it at all LOL
Hammerdown Motorsports I told the tech and he said that you shouldn’t t have to wait for the backup camera come back. They won’t even let me take my truck until they get a call from a senior technician on Monday. Ridiculous!
For the life of me I cannot understand why they were not included on my Rebel. With a sticker over $60k how the hell do you justify leaving that out? So disappointing. My previous Sierra had them and they really came in handy camping and tailgating. I don't want to tear up a brand new, expensive truck, to put them in. Dumb. Very dumb.
Just did this install, my instructions pictures had the correct location for wires. Bed lights don't work but the switch on the light will turn off the upper cargo light, guess I'll be going to the dealer.
That would probably cause a fault code it’s best just to order it from the factory but the mouth breathers at the dealership didn’t think it was worth the 200 bucks on a 62k$ truck then it cost me 380 plus my time
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA it's a bummer that you can't even install some LED lights without fault codes coming up or potentially ruining your warranty. With my 2008 Dodge ram I could wire up anything extra fog lights behind the grill or just add an additional cigarette lighter for extra chargers etc. I used to hardwire my radar detector. And there was no issues. So what if somebody wanted to hardwire a dash cam to the top of the windshield where do they connected to so it's hidden?
@@rywheat99 I saw the vid and it did seem to work but remember if you tap into the harness in a way not directed by the manufacturer they could in theory could try and blame any electrical issues on any modifications to the wiring plus I would never recommend using wire taps like in the video they can cause so many issues I think at the end of the day I'll get mine programmed at the dealer but each to their own.
Yeah , nothings simple nowadays. Luckily my Ram already had them in from factory. But not nearly enough light so I tided 2 stands of lights on each side up in the rails so you cant really see them plus if I didn't 't you'd get blinded at night they are so bright.
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSAthat BS.. such a fkn scam. I’m getting a 70k truck with no lights and then I get the lights, let alone I have to piece apart the entire truck to install 2 LED lights and then you’re telling me I’m gonna get charged $180 to run a computer. Thats brutal
Looks like you can see the white paint on the passenger side. Looks like the light doesn't cover the whole area that the previous cover did. Looks nice though.
Wish ram wasn't so cheap and actually installed lights and a liner with all models

Do you have a link to the kit you purchased?
Glad mine came with these lights installed. But I plan on finding a way to tie in to the pre ran lines for more lighting in the bed.

Some guy’s will figure out a battery powered led light matching the OEM size and shape but avoiding all the wiring hassle.
Where can you buy them?
That’s all me ! I can’t justify the cost for two small lights in the bed. I really hope they make one !

If I do this myself like you did, would it void the warranty on my new truck?
taurinenrgy no it should be fine I just took it to the dealer and had it programmed
Hammerdown Motorsports Thank you!
My dealer installed them in my 2020 Rebel and now the backup camera doesn’t work. Any ideas why?
Howard Mankin give it a little time it should come back like a day or so it’s probably from disconnecting the battery. Mine fit that too

Chris Kline yeah it’s a bum deal but popping off the panels and routing wiring is a pain but it will be same as stock after the install only better
If you saved your cover plugs for the lights, could you give me the part number? I’m going to use it make a template to cut holes in my 2014. Thx
I do have my cover plates
Hammerdown Motorsports That’s great, can you see if there is a part number on them?
Hammerdown Motorsports do you have a part number, thx
@@rogergleason I don't anymore but the dealer should have that no problem I think it is in the accessory listing on Ram's website
are all these steps the same for a 2020 ram 1500 crew shortbed (no toolbox)???
BobThePa yup should be the same
Just did this install, my instructions pictures had the correct location for wires. Bed lights don't work but the switch on the light will turn off the upper cargo light, guess I'll be going to the dealer.
Can't get enough of that Borla Atak!!!! Great video Steve!
If you don’t mind divulging, what was the cost for dealer flash?
they took me for 180 bucks kinda a rip if you ask me
A lot of sites charge about $140 for them. I'll just bring my portable LED worklight along with my gear when I'm doing stuff.
Question. My light kit is item# 82215272AC 001 and I just noticed on your video yours is 82215272 AB 001. Did I get the wrong item?
Still got trailer brake controller?
Seems like a lot of work can't you just tap them into the existing bed light up above near the third brake light
That would probably cause a fault code it’s best just to order it from the factory but the mouth breathers at the dealership didn’t think it was worth the 200 bucks on a 62k$ truck then it cost me 380 plus my time

Alpha OBD should be able to turn them on
Do a TH-cam search there is a different location to pin the wires to so you don't need the reflash
interesting

Truck bed lights will be very useful!! Great video as always :)
Missing how to wire it in the plug in the front...In my case I have to remove a wire to install mine...

Hello, I did the same. How did you tie in? Mine will flicker and go out.
@@armandniosi7657 I had a small set that was already installed from the factory that I tied into. The factory lights sucked. So now I have both.
@@Stettenbauer butt spliced into behind factory bed light? I did that as well and they do not stay on
Could you tell me how much your dealer charged you to flash the computer for the bed lights? Your video definitely helped out alot with the install.
thanks yeah they took me for 180 bucks
Thank you for the info!

yep at least I got it in 2019 so it was only 55k@@LeoHoracio5
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA thanks that makes me feel a lot better about my overpriced, not having light truck lmaooo 👍🏽👍🏽
Awesome video brother! I have same lights for my 2019 Laramie I've been meaning to install. Love the channel, Keep the videos coming!
Gino Hernandez awesome thanks for watching
Did you purchase the parts from a dealership or some other source? Do you mind sharing the price?
I got them at the dealer I think it was around 150 I bought them a while ago
Do you have to pay for them to do that?
Yup
Can you provide the link to the bed light kit? So many different sites i don’t which ones are legit lol
Do you have any intentions on lifting the ram ?
I have thrown around the idea for sure
I’ll stay tuned to find out man ! Keep it up Rebelgang !
Yeah there's another YTber that connects it differently so you dont need to flash it.
I just followed the instructions I'll have to see what they did for sure thanks
Keep that hammerdown!
Looks like you can see the white paint on the passenger side. Looks like the light doesn't cover the whole area that the previous cover did. Looks nice though.
so do you need to go to dealer to program
There is a different way to wire it I’ve seen on TH-cam that will work without programming but the way I did it required a trip to the dealer
I’m here for the Atak 🤘🏻
All this for lights smh. You spend $50-60k for a truck and they can’t even at least prewire...some stuff should just be included like this.
I agree the people ordering these trucks need a lesson in what to check off
Nice work .
whether
A lot of work for 2 lights
Thanks, but i think I will use a flashlight.
What a pain in the ass! Ram you cheap bastards for selling me a 65k truck that doesn’t have these.
Only looking already feel very Difficult
Yeah not that bad but if they were factory ordered way less hassle
