Custom 2013-2018 Ram Headlights! Installing RGBWA™+ Switchback DRL LED Boards | Diode Dynamics

[@treypiraino1691]

And will guys ever put out a video covering the rest of the installation for this model? Resealing the headlight, connecting, tapping and splicing all the wires to the truck, best and easiest recommended place to tap a 12v source, best recommended place to mount the drivers, and putting everything back together?

[@MrFlashHandy]

Trey Piraino would be nice!

[@dillondance1393]

Waiting on the same thing.. I'm doing the install now along with painting the inside of the headlight and everything

[@mattb232]

Exactly! At 10:25- "Before we re-seal it, we're gonna show how to wire it up..." At 10:30- scene change to lights lit up on the table.

[@camgarz1]

just received my switchback boards finally (after dealing with the way mail works on a military base). can you guys PLEASE PLEASE put up a video of showing how to wire for those of us that have been asking, and dont have much experience with it? I've seen the diagram, but your DIY vids always remove any shadow of a doubt! Trust me, your RAM community would really appreciate it!

[@diodedynamics]

+Cameron Garza, The next time we get a 13+ Ram into our testing garage we will definitely try to shoot some media of how to wire our LED boards! Until then, feel free to contact us at 314-205-3033, Monday-Friday 9am-5pm, and our sales representatives can assist you. We also have a great network of Authorized Dealers that would be happy to help you with installation as well.

[@bigmixx]

Really wanted these but having to take apart the light is a no go for me. Looks awesome tho

[@johnnoehl8917]

Not a bad idea. I really like the factory look of the ram projector lights. But being able to change the color would be pretty awesome. But why not just make the entire unit and sell them as a whole? It seems like a tone of fragility and a high risk of breaking something.

[@diodedynamics]

We thought it best to have this as a cheaper alternative than ordering a whole new housing, while also allowing for an aftermarket appearance! This specific board is popular among dealer installations!

[@sibblegentery2383]

I'm shocked that you use bread ties instead of simply using new rivets

[@thealmightytuna3239]

looks great! curious if my Ram has the DRL signal or not.

[@justinpowell6377]

I’m a little confused. So ram projector headlights use a bulb for high and low beam but if I want switchbacks I have to buy a switchback board, not a bulb?

[@diodedynamics]

That is correct, the low beam and high beam are separate from the DRL/turn signal! The switchback board is simply a replacement for your DRL board to have RGB functions, and keep an SAE compliant turn signal when your turn signals are activated!

[@dalegribble60]

I think one of the most important procedures would be the resealing of the headlight. Any bit of air or moisture inside will result in unfavorable results down the road. Taking a big chance on a $50,000+ truck.

[@diodedynamics]

+Bill Dozer Opening and resealing headlights can be a tricky process, so we recommend installation by one of our AUthorized Dealers/Installers. You can check out the link below to find one near you! www.diodedynamics.com/store/find-dealers

[@bminus752]

How do the turn signals work after u cut the harness

[@joshp.2237]

Do yall have a product that replaces the side marker light too? I still need to test my wiring to the headlight but main DRL and side marker light went out today and im pretty sure its the driver board that failed because only half of the blinker on that side works. Ao rather than replace with OEM i figured I would upgrade to a switchback but the little side marker light is also inop and I would like to fix it too.

[@gavinbitz2563]

I have the switch back on my 14 ram and loved them until the passengers side white leds quit working, I ended up cutting the wires on the drivers side so it doesn't look so stupid. Why would they burn out? The amber parts work fine. Can I get some help here maybe?

[@diodedynamics]

Hmmm- it could be from a number of different reasons. We offer a 3-year warranty on these. Please go ahead and give us a call at 314-205-3033 Monday-Friday 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. CST, or shoot us an email at [e-mail], and our service team would be happy to help you with that.

[@user-je5xj7nh8w]

can rivets be used again to replace the originals?

[@diodedynamics]

+Brian Fauser If you are familiar with the riveting process and have the necessary tools, it could be possible. However, we recommend using the included twist-ties to fasten the boards in place. If you would like further instructions, please email us at [e-mail].

[@geraldwayne6261]

Yes rivets would be much better! You can find the small rivets and the tool needed at auto parts stores or Harbor Freight! H.F is cheap but 100x better than bread ties!

What happens to the parking lights are they disabled

[@diodedynamics]

+Cameron Garza, the side marker is left unconnected. If you have any other installation questions, feel free to contact us!

[@kennyskipper]

Ok, now that you cut the old boards out that was used as turn signals. What does the new boards get wired to so when I turn my turn signal on, it works as a factory turn signal?

[@diodedynamics]

Our RGBWA LED Boards also include a LED chip that is amber in color, so when you hit your turn signal, the white/multicolor shuts off, and they light up bright amber to indicate signaling. You can view our installation/wiring guide here: images.diodedynamics.com/docs/install/dodge/ram/Dodge_Ram_RGBWA_installation_guide_UPDATED.pdf

[@kennyskipper]

@@diodedynamics ////// 10-4! I'll be ordering very soon. Thank you

[@treypiraino1691]

Will an ordinary drill bit work to take those rivets out?

[@diodedynamics]

+Trey Piraino We recommend using a dremel, but a drill bit could also work to grind down the rivets to be able to remove them. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at [e-mail]!

[@deepee1544]

Absolutely it will, just use a drill bit slightly smaller than the hole that the rivet goes through. Looks like a 1/8" bit.

[@ofirlevy276]

Installed it! looks awesome- very easy to install. Even opening the headlight wasn't as bad as I thought. Looks very cool and works very well. Thank you very much for this great video- helped a lot!

[@diodedynamics]

Hi there! We really appreciate the feedback, and are glad to hear you're enjoying the boards!

[@immemei8318]

U need include seal..or one b paying way more in long run for short good look

[@chuylezama1333]

How did you wire them

[@Chopper911x]

Great job Paul. How long before you are able to put some matching RGBWA halo's into these units. I believe they would be a big hit..

[@diodedynamics]

+Chris Barr We hope to release our RGBWA halos in the coming months. Stay tuned!

[@tacobell9271]

What is this extra option for dimming the DRL switchbacks?

[@diodedynamics]

There are two wires - one for high power white, and one for low power. If you wish, you can connect the low power to your headlights so they dim down at night.

[@treypiraino1691]

Any chance I could tap threads into the reflector's aluminum bracket and hold the boards in with screws?

[@diodedynamics]

+Trey Piraino We recommend installing them the same was as our video, otherwise you would risk creating a short on the board itself. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us!

[@pjwebb8141]

So with the switchbacks, when the parking lights are on or off the strip is white? Only amber with turn signal?

[@diodedynamics]

Hi Pj! That's correct, only the turn signal will provide the amber color.

[@willybeamon]

Do you guys have a setup like this for 2010 Chevy Silverado ?

I am going to start saving the twist ties from my loaves of bread. Why does this seem like the most cobbled installation I have ever seen?

[@AllAutos]

All of this and not sequential/chasing motion? It reality would be negligible change to the board and cost.

[@diodedynamics]

Hey there! This is a product launched over 8 years ago, and the demand for features at that time was different. We will be sure to suggest incorporating it in the future!

[@AllAutos]

@diodedynamics Yes, "Innovation" means thinking ahead of desire from consumers from company internal initiative. I'm not precisely certain if sequential was progammed 8 years ago, as "time flies and it seems it was already in the market, but otherwise then would have been the time to be "Innovative". As for the Now, you say "suggest" it. That it is still now not been an update version to roll out to current consumers? That'd still be not even keeping up with the market. The company needs an internal salaried person paid for thinking in Innovation, then certainly continuing education on the market to at least keep up.
