This is the third vid of yours that I have found to help me with the small things that are wrong with my truck

[@jimeckenrode1271]

Thanks Dave, I watched this video and the mirror turn signal video and with your instructions I was able to replace all four with the updated parts and all is well now.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Awesome! Glad that both videos helped. Appreciate the feedback on how it went. Make sure to subscribe and have a great weekend

[@johndavidson9423]

Dave- Great video. My son and I swapped out these lights on his 2015 RAM 2500. These new LEDs puddle lights are so bright they actually serve their purpose. I wouldn't have attempted it w/o this video. Thank you.

[@Sicktrickintuner]

Had those old style replaced twice on mine until i got the updated piece and been good for the past year

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Some times its best to keep things as simple as possible, swapping from side to side is one of those steps. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@robertsmith1161]

Wonderful video explanation! Dealer wanted $160 to replace both puddle lights. I bought both lights at Amazon, as you recommended, for $48.72 and installed both lights in LESS THAN 3MINUTES. Yes, less than 3 minutes for both. Thanks so much!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Just wanted to say thanks All your videos are awesome .. I wish there was a video on how to tighten the swivel on a 2011 dodge ram tow mirror ..

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Your welcome. I might have to dissect one when I get a damaged one to see who the internals are.

[@jasonwelsh7431]

Good info and a simple swap out. I found them on eBay for about $40-$45 for the pair.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Not a bad price for the pair. Glad it all went well. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

Do you happen to have videos for the LED's on the outer part of the tow mirror ? Near the corner

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I actually do......here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWq6mIxuoqqNoMU

[@merrterr419]

Great video as are all of your videos. I have a question about the mirrors. I have a 2014 Ram, 2500 and have noticed mirror wobble on the driver side. Suggestions or previous videos on this issue? Thank you.

[@mr.anderson910]

The tow mirrors that come with that updated version are about impossible to remove the puddle light without damaging the assembly because there is no gap to insert a pry tool.

[@237130]

When my 2012 was a week old, the drivers side puddle light went out. They had to replace the entire mirror according to the dealership, at cost of $487, under warranty of course. Just crazy.

[@237130]

Thanks for helping me save money so many times!!!

[@Slimboyardee]

Thank you for the vid. Do you still have the link to the pair of lights? The link above did not work.

[@97minitaco]

Dave, I installed a set of these mirrors on my 2012 Ram 2500. How can I get my truck programmed so that the puddle and signal light will work?

[@fredapeeples6619]

Mine looks like neither. Thanks.

[@XstoVB101]

I put paddle lights and new ones but still not working do you know if the fuze needs to be replace

[@timgiesin4025]

Hello Dave my question isn't with the lights it's with the mirror adjustment I have a 2013 if I flip it up as trailer mirror the adjustment doesn't work in junction with being up it's a quarter off I can work it this way but is this normal the reason I'm asking is I had a 03 that work in junction with the switch never a quarter off

[@heritage_cowboy6568]

Got a question. Next to the puddle light is another instrument, what is that? My truck has that.

[@shuvelhead233]

You ever swap the housing out on the tow mirror? I cracked mine on a tree. Everything works, just have a chunk taken out of the housing.

[@weaton3]

what's the possibility that both puddle lights are out at the same time could it be a fuse and if so what fuse is it or could it be something more in-depth

[@PANCAKERZxx]

Thanks. Dodge Dealer tried to tell me whole mirror assembly had to be replaced as light was not removable

[@MotorCityMechanic]

+PANCAKERZxx Sounds like someone there is mis-informed. It happens, they possibly just didn’t know. But glad that you found the video and that you now know otherwise. Thanks for the comment and make sure to subscribe

[@jaimemendoza5323]

What's that other tab for? The smaller one

[@timjackson6311]

What is the part @1:01 in this video that your right thumb is on? I've noticed this on my 2019 Ram Classic.

[@jarrettfredericy2551]

Hi, where can I order a replacement? I only see the top on eBay. Not the puddle lights

[@daqunnj]

The link to purchase the puddle light replacement is coming up blank so if you can update the link to purchase please and thank you

[@moishemgrinberg]

hi very nice video. i was wondering how to take apart the mirror for a regular mirror not a tow? i have a 2017 ram 1500 sport. Also I was wondering if you can help me. Since I have a sport model it comes with sensors on the front bumper and i would like to put on a nudge bar but i'm told that for the sport model you cannot put one on because of the sensors but i have a question what if i install the 2 center sensors on the nudge bar will that work?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I do have some stock none towing mirrors that I could film. Just need to work it in sometime when I have a chance. When it comes to those sensors....you need to move the sensors as far forward as possible or it will pick up the nudge bar as being infront of the vehicle and give you that warning.

[@Italianborn]

Great video, so on mine 2017 I don’t have them , is it possible to intall them ? Or i need to chenge the all mirror ? Thanks

[@MotorCityMechanic]

You will need to sway yours out for a set that has the puddle lights already on them and then you will need to have the dealer change/add the related sales codes and then have then download it to the vehicle so that the systems then know what was added so that it will work correctly. Thanks for the question and make sure to subscribe!

[@obdia1]

My truck mirror is missing the connectors that plugs into the light. Any suggestions?

[@flash1034]

Hi again Dave. Hope you are well. Recently I noticed my right projector headlight assembly was getting condensation inside the lens. When I removed the headlight housing there was actually water sloshing around inside the headlight housing. I poured the water out, dried the inside with a hair dryer, and reinstalled it. Now I get a “right turn signal out” warning in my evic even though all the lights apppear to be functioning properly. I also get a hyperflash turn signal light on my dash but the turn signal itself flashes at normal speed. Any ideas? Thanks

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Nothing is coming to mind at the moment. When you get water inside you typically need to replace the assembly. One thing you can do is drill a small hole in the lowest part of the housing. It doesnt stop the moisture from getting inside but it gives it a place to go and not accumulate.

[@erniehall1309]

Can you send me the link to were i can buy this light?

[@wadedavis8868]

I have a 2019 ram I was told that my puddle lights have a open circuit. Not sure why that would be I just bought them new

[@slwstrk11]

Why would my puddle lights stay on? Replaced the old with new but now they stay on?

[@italiamarone]

Wow

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Thanks Richard!

[@billboeck4644]

Thank you so much I now have puddle lights , The dealer told me you can not replace them with out braking so I have to all new mirrors at the tune of 1,000 Thanks again F&@%ing hate dealers. Peace Bill B

[@jedibarracuda8412]

Hey David, a guide question. On the 2005 Durango with the 5.7 hemi , what's the part called that bolts up to the oil pan and transmission if you could give me a part number that would help lots. Thanks

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Evening.....not too sure what your describing. Are you speaking of the structural collar that adds strength thats held in place with a few bolts? You may need to email me so that I can help you with pictures for example....cant post images here in the comments section. Email me at [e-mail]

[@THEBILL1993]

Mine doesn't look to have that blank space for the flat head/pick

[@johngarcia1700]

Hello what would be the problem if I'm only getting 5 volts from connectors and the new puddle lights installed aren't working? Neither are signal

[@dakotagilchriest8046]

Hey how are you? I have a question. On my 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie drivers side,side mirror the blinker light is out and the puddle light. Do you think it’s a fuse or is it that both just need to be replaced?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

There is no fuse that I know of. Its hard to say for sure if they both are bad...its going to take some checking first. Odd that they are both out at the same time or maybe they went out a different times but you just noticed. You can easily remove both puddle lights on the left and right side and plug the side thats working into the side thats not to help rule it out. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.

[@donearl6675]

👍👍👍!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Thanks Don. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already

[@jenniferpasten8847]

I’m still not getting power to it and I can’t find the FUSE , help please

[@kennickerson2623]

need.to replace my passenger side tow mirror with heat,power,signal and puddle.light

[@chicknchili]

I like your videos they're great I have a question I have a 2012 Dodge or Ram 3500 I am trying to find the Ambient Air Temperature sending unit or sensor. Sometimes it will read 66 when the temperature outside is 80 I can't seem to find it can you help me out thank

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Its actually located in the drivers outside mirror assembly underneath. Its part of a plastic panel that can be popped out.

[@chicknchili]

MotorCity Mechanic Just found it. 2012 ram is located next to the driver side headlight back of the grille

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Cool. I have seen it there...wonder why there is one in some of the mirrors as well.

[@paule799]

Great vid as always. I got a question whats the little lever right in front of the puddle light almost looks like a lock of some sort? It's only present on the drivers side...

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Good question Paul. That item your speaking of is the outside temp sensor! Its only on the drivers mirror. Appreciate the question and for you watching as well.

[@paule799]

Thanks again, love the vids very clear and concise. Keep up the great work....best of luck with the channel.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Thanks again Paul!

[@peterjones8546]

Outside thermometer.

[@louindorato6855]

How about the puddle light on an 09 Ram ? . Can you post a video ? Thnx in advance

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I will try to keep it in mind as a future video. Thanks for the request. Make sure to subscribe.

[@JuanGutierrez-vd2xg]

I got a 2015 Dodge Ram tradesman and I replace the mirror to folding mirrors, and my turn signal don't work .. do I need to replace the module ? any advise?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

In order to get them to work properly....you will need to have the dealer update the sales codes/options online and have them download it back to the vehicle so that it starts working correctly. Basically the vehicle needs to know what it has and this is the method to do that. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe

[@miguelitomigra543]

I bought a pair for my '17 Ram and absolutely love them. Unfortunately, the plastic retainer clip on the driver's side snapped off and left the light dangling by the wires. So I contacted Morimoto and sent photos. Their response? Maybe we can help you out on a future order. Can you believe that? These lights are probably a dime a dozen from China (though they cost a premium) and they didn't even offer to replace one broken light. I always thought Morimoto was way up there. Well, I can add this business to my "No More" list. Too bad.

[@joeellis2692]

I can't get a straight answer out on anybody I'm trying to upgrade to tow mirrors on my 2014 Ram Express heated manual mirrors. Like to upgrade to tow mirrors heated manual with a blinker I don't need a floodlight I think that's stupid. How do I go about making this happen. Thanks

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Swapping wont be an issue. Being that they are both manual......I dont think you need to update the sales codes inorder to get the turnsignals to work. I havent tried this myself so I am not 100% sure. If the sales codes do need to be updated....then the dealer will need to do that. Updating the sales codes tells the vehicle what new options it has and then it allows those items to work properly.

[@brettphillips5591]

Where do we get the code to give to the dealer on a 2018?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

What code are you speaking of? I am guess your upgrading your mirrors and needing to have the dealer change the sales codes to get them to work properly. Typically what I do is see if there was a kit thru Mopar....if so then there will be a set of instructions that tell the sales codes needed. Otherwise the dealer can see all the avail sales codes when they log online to change them. Sometimes it depends on the year. Looking on line I see LEB, LEC, and LEG being 3 that people have been using. Thanks for the question and make sure to subscribe.

[@wuwade33]

what is the tool name for testing that light??

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Its called a "Power Probe". They offer different versions and its a great tool to have.

[@wuwade33]

do u know where can I buy in Canada? haha

[@maxpain1947]

He tells you in the video numb nuts. Dam

[@brunopoldrugovac3537]

I called Chrysler and the parts guy said each puddle light is about $150 lol, I got a pair on Amazon for $35

[@aubreyroche5080]

Guess what just arrived from Amazon ?

[@1010chris]

Took you a min lol

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I eventually get to the promised videos......sometimes it takes longer then others however lol. Thanks for watching!
