2019+ Ram Interior LED Upgrade By Lasfit

[@sethzelenik1605]

Thanks for the detailed video. Just did this project on my ram. I was able to take the lenses off and push the bulbs out from the back to avoid disassembling the whole unit. Great work and thanks for your time and effort. People like you make so many jobs easier.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Glad I could help!

[@Bendc1970A1]

Finally got around to doing this. Video really helped. When I did the vanity mirrors I put all 4 in backwards at first and had to turn them around. While watching this I was wondering how you were going to test them out before you put that all back together. I was starting to get discouraged. Then I saw how you tested them. When I went to test mine both were in correct. A miracle.

[@shockburn]

Great video. Thx for the useful info. I will agree with others it’s not at all necessary to take the overhead apart that much to swap the bulbs. Had it done in 10 mins.

[@iTeach79]

Fantastic video. Thank you for not playing background music. Thank you for keeping your language clean and clear. This is an outstanding video.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I appreciate the feedback!

[@LeadingPaws]

This is the greatest instructional video I’ve ever watched. Great job describing things as you go.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback

[@danny.b]

Stop lying 😂

[@bombidude]

I just did the same install on lasfit led bulbs.. I did map lights just like you did. I found that I had more wires to unplug and followed the same way as you did.. No broken taps and it was a well worth upgrading the interior.. Thanks again for your video.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Must have a Laramie or higher? Glad I could help!

[@bombidude]

​@@TonyTheTruckGuyActually big horn/lonestar night edition.. Has a nice features and the sos and assist button are in the overhead console..

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@bombidude Ah yeah I didn’t have all that haha

[@dtsthename]

Thank you

[@alcalu]

Eeeasy day. Tony! Thanks for introducing me to LasFit LEDs, too! I tried to use them in my cab's 3rd brake light, but they didn't work??? The dome LED did and it's 100x better. Thanks, man. Keep up the good work.

[@zacharystahl1574]

Great how to video, just did mine and it only took about 20 minutes to do the whole truck interior, not a single tab or trim piece broken. Thanks!!!

[@rawdogg1777]

Perfect! It took me a minute but this step by step instruction video worked amazing. Thanks a lot!!!

[@tobytyra604]

Thank you for the VERY informative video!! I've been putting this off for awhile now. I watched your video and finally got it done with no problems. Keep up the good work. I'll be following you

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Appreciate it! Glad I could help!

[@brianwilliams5155]

Great video, walked me through every step perfectly. So much easier than figuring it out as I go. And I also bought LASFIT, I like that they're American made. Just ordered some H11 bulbs as well!

[@the_treypearson]

Dude, can you do like every tutorial video for everything ever? Super freakin detailed. Thank you

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

LMAO! Appreciate it, and glad I could help! Pretty much any time I fix anything on a car, I film it, so I'm on my way to filming every video 😂

[@peepmyfinesse]

Awesome vids lights look great thanks for the help!

[@warren7127]

Absolutely fantastic, much needed information. thank you sir

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Glad it helped, thanks for the positive feedback!

[@taylorashipley]

Nice video! Just got this done today super easily! Thank you for the help.

[@walterberry4194]

Man you are a great teacher. Thanks you really help me

[@ruckusmayhem9531]

Great video...minus the part where you take apart the entire maplight assembly...not necessary at all...yes take it off the roof and remove wires and get assembly into your lap. Take your time and use plastic pry tools to get the lense off (hench not marring your plastic trim) take your time remove the bulbs. Much easier. Thanks for the video tho!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I only did it this way because most people aren’t good enough with their hands or tools to do it any other way without breaking crap 😂

[@ChadHaatvedt]

I did it this way too. The whole job took me only 10 minutes.😊

[@keithsuma3298]

Thank you so much for your video! Your tutorial was very descriptive and thorough!

[@seantrujillo6796]

Thanks man for this video, wouldn’t been able to do this project without your help. Didn’t break anything. Damn those map lights what a pain lol but got through it! Thanks again man for the video!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Yeah what a silly design haha. Glad it helped out!

[@justinkoops2314]

Thanks for the video, very helpful!!!!

[@jackcurtis5784]

Tony, Great Video, Thank You. I will be installing these on my Ram.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Thank you, and good luck!

[@TradesmanOutdoorAdventures]

Hey, great how-to! I just posted a video for the Lasfit install for my ‘21 Ram 2500 and cited/recommended this video because it did such a great job on the map light install.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Thanks! Did you have any issues with yours? Some people have mentioned that the 2020 and newer trucks had issues with the key fob not working or windows not working once switching to LED lights.

[@TradesmanOutdoorAdventures]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy Nope…so far, so good!

[@cathtech15able]

Very thorough! Thanks for taking the time to do it correctly. 🙂

[@scottboyle7547]

The foot well lights on a 2021 models is much different! Otherwise, everything was spot on. I didn't have to disassemble the map light unit as much. The reflectors can be manipulated enough to allow the bulbs to be replaced.

[@moemassy8624]

HOLY fudge sickle it's so bright can't wait to put them in my vehicle Lasfit Is ONLY brand to buy it's high quality

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@moemassy8624 I have had good luck with them and yeah, it gets bright in there haha

[@thomasdudley8104]

😊 liked! Can you change the lights that shine on the ground?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@thomasdudley8104 Mine didn’t have those but I would imagine you can if they are just clipped into the bottom of the door panel

[@adamwade43]

Can the ambient light bulb between the 2 lamps be switched to a brighter bulb?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

If you mean the light that shines straight down at night on the cup holder area, I'm pretty sure it's soldered to a circuit board. I didn't pay super close attention when I had it apart, but if you look at 11:20, you can see the square piece that my right thumb is on is what houses that light. I wouldn't think there's room in there for a replaceable bulb. If you're super ambitious and good at soldering, you could probably solder your own LED to the circuit board.

[@brandons3345]

Thank you Tony

[@hadenough9495]

What if you spray paint the lenses red?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Then the light will probably be red or not shine through at all lol

[@BrennonKnight-lh3tc]

What about the backseat floor lights

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Mine didn't have any floor lights in back. You must have a higher trim level or under seat storage unless they just changed it haha

[@CameronJones-WYO307]

How about a long term view? Ive heard after a while the LEDs start to flicker. Are these still going strong?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I actually traded the truck in back in November of 2021, but they didn’t skip a beat up to that point, and the truck saw down to -30° in winter and up to 100° in summer.

[@paflyer1370]

Nice video, I’m definitely going to do this upgrade, the halogen bulbs are so dim for such a large cab, thanks for all the details

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I agree, these are much brighter

[@ronaldlee1435]

How do you get that ashtray light out, though? 👀

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I didn't know an ash tray was even an option still lol

[@donearl6675]

Wow! thanks so much for this👍👍

[@bbminetesting6837]

Will these bulbs still fade out when you shut the doors? I don't want the lights to shut off instantly.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

You know, that's a great question, and I honestly can't remember. I traded the truck in 2 years ago, otherwise I'd go check for you lol. I WANT to say they still faded. Only because I don't recall a sudden "off".

[@bbminetesting6837]

@TonyTheTruckGuy I ended up buying it, and it does in fact fade out!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@bbminetesting6837 Haha, good! I was going to say I think they fade but maybe just slightly more sudden than the stock bulbs but good to know for future reference!

[@toddriseling2994]

If your an old guy like myself who can’t see to good even with my prescription glasses, I wouldn’t recommend doing it. My vision wasn’t good enough to get good contact on the LED bulbs with the socket and neither bulb would light up. So I finally tried putting the stock bulbs back in and wasn’t successful at that either. Now I don’t have any map lights, bummer.

[@YouTube372a]

Awesome video this helped me a lot! Any idea what light to get for the glove box?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Glad I could help! Yours doesn’t already have a glove box light? Upper or lower box?

[@YouTube372a]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy it does have a light I just want to replace it with preferably a lasfit led, I just wasn’t sure which model led would work.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Upper glove box or lower glove box?

[@YouTube372a]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy I was hoping to replace both!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@KZbin372a I swear I saw a thread on the 5th gen ram forums for an LED upgrade but now I'm not finding it and nobody lists the bulb numbers lol. I could be wrong, but I think the stock "bulbs" might actually already be LED, just a more natural color. A lot of manufacturers are doing this and my Jeep map lights are the same way. Damn lights are soldered to the motherboard, so you can't replace them to match the coloring of the rest of my LED interior lights 😢

[@larryinokc]

WAY too much work. I just pulled the console, popped the lenses off, pushed the bulbs out from the back, inserted the led's from the front, snapped the lenses back on, done. Took less than 5 minutes for the whole process from start to finish.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

That will work in some instances, but many people struggle to get the old bulbs out and new bulbs in when trying to go through the lenses, especially if the new bulb happens to be a bit on the bulkier side.

[@Bendc1970A1]

I'm so glad I read down to this comment. I had the assembly in my lap in the house looking at it and could see the back of the bulbs then I remembered this comment and popped those lenses off. With a little wiggling and some tools I was able to do this. I was wearing rubber gloves because one person said the reflectors are very easy to dirty up with fingerprints.

[@larryinokc]

@@Bendc1970A1 Glad it worked out for you! Some people turn a simple project into a major headache.

[@getsummz]

My overhead console is different. It has the slim/long plastic lens rather than the ones in your video. Also, I dont have a dome light since it was the panoramic sunroof. Instead, it has similar map lights above the doors. Are they same size bulbs? I used lasfit for the rear lights and had put them in my GX460 previously. Theyre great; want better lighting in the RAM. Thanks in advance.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

To be honest, I’m not sure if they’re the same bulb style for all of them. I’ve actually not been in a Ram with a sunroof haha. You’d have to pop a bulb out or email Lasfit to ask them probably, otherwise I’m sure there’s a few posts on the 5th gen Ram page about it. Sorry I can’t help more

[@thomashbrunton]

Great video. When I did this today, the door/OFF switch came out from the overhead console. I was able to reseat it but it doesn’t seem to be functioning. Any ideas on how to resolve?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

You mean the piece at 11:27? That’s weird I didn’t have any issues with that. I’m guessing it’s not making good connection after you reinstalled it. You can kind of see at around 11:50 that there appears to be 3 almost tan looking things with metal ovals going around them on the circuit board. I’m guessing yours isn’t making good connection there or where it attaches.

[@TheAverageShooter]

I seem to be having the same issue with the toggle switch not working.

[@JC-oc1pn]

Quick question. To the naked eye are the leds bright white or cool white?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Pretty much how they look on camera. I’d consider them a bright white. Cool white is usually more blue. There is a very slight blue to them, but not nearly as much as other LEDs

[@956maligator9]

Aye I just got the same truck and my name is Tony as well lmao

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Good taste 😉

[@Loditt95]

Footwells is the worst one with my big fingers 😭thanks for the video

Thank the lord for some needle nose pliers 💪🏽💪🏽

[@luis6.7p.s.77]

Thanks for the well detailed video man it really helped me out changing all the bulbs in my truck. I saw 2 other videos but yours was the best since you explained it with a lot more details and took your time to show us.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Glad to help! These make a big difference haha

[@hkaszowi]

@TonyTheTruckGuy new body style. I've looked at so many video but none of them show how to replace the longer looking overhead light or the dome light.

@TonyTheTruckGuy if I can send a Pic it would be easier to show you 😆 I just bought it like 3 weeks ago

[@akathedude3266]

will installing these cause issues like the cargo/3rd/brake lights do for 2021 trucks?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I would email lasfit and ask them directly. Mine is a 2019 but I’ve heard of 2020 and newer having remote start issues or something after switching to LED. Mine was fine though.

[@nicholascheslock1593]

Tried it the "easy" way, and ended up losing one of the bulbs in the headliner. Will be trying to do it the right way tomorrow 😂😅

[@Gucci_Membrane]

I’ve tried to get the footwell light out for over an hour. Guess I wasted $30 Edit: use tape on the bulbs and leave a tab to pull down from.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Needle nose pliers didn’t work?

[@Gucci_Membrane]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy I finally got them out by wrapping duct tape around the bulbs and pulling the tape.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@Gucci_Membrane Lmao there ya go. Pretty bad design 🤦‍♂️

[@EasyRiderGreg]

I have been known to break those kinds of tabs holding things together. I finally got my internet up and running so I'm catching up.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Yeah they definitely can break easily haha. Did you get settled in somewhere? I remember you moved but were having some issues finding housing or something.

You can even make the RAM glow, have yellow light, red light, or white light, you can choose.

You mean on the instrument cluster where it says Ram?

[@Mad-Baboon]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy No, I mean the RAM logo on the grille.

@@Mad-Baboon Ohhhhhh. I think I've seen that. Is it a full grille or do you mod the factory grille?

Wrap a small peice of tape around the bulb pulls right out

Some people don't have the finesse for that and they lose the bulb up in the headliner so that's why I showed this way lol

[@pamoky5]

I just did this task to replace a bulb that was burned out. What a huge pain in the a$$ to get two little bulbs out.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Agreed, very poor design lol.

will it work for ram 2500 19?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

You'll have to see if your interior lighting looks the same as mine. My truck is a '19, but I haven't been in a '19+ 2500 yet.

[@jesseduenes7380]

I used a piece of duct tape to pull the bulb off.

[@robbywhited910]

Way too much work. Just take down the console. Pop off the clear lenses and push out the light from the back. Drop new light in place and with both hands hold the metal prong on the back flat and sturdy and push the light bulb into the metal prongs. I tried to pull the bulbs out without taking it down at first. 😆

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@robbywhited910 A lot of people end up breaking the bulbs or can’t get a good grip on them which is why I showed the long method. A lot of people aren’t as good with their hands lol

[@bigc2092]

You did the map lights totally wrong 😂😂😂

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Wrong? Or just not the way YOU did it?

[@Randy-no5mi]

What a joke. Why would ram do something so damn dumb? All for 2 small bulbs. 2 middle clips on mine wont budge. LEDS aren’t worth it to me.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Some people have been able to do the front map lights just by removing the lens but you gotta use a needle nose and have some finesse. But they should just all be LED at this point.
