I need a replacement for my 2017 RAM sport OEM LED tail lights. I would go factory or smoked but it is really confusing when I go to Amazon or anywhere most replacement LED lights are for the conventional lights. I saw the RECON 264236BK more details on - https://www.carid.com/2017-ram-1500...rentsubmodel[]=SUBMODEL|Crew+Cab#installation and the

ACANII - For [Factory LED Model] 2013-2018 Dodge Ram 1500 2500 3500 Black LED Tube Tail Lights Brake Lamps Left+Right​


I just want to make sure they fit the factory OEM LED harnesses AND if anyone here has other suggestions or experience with either of the above. Geez, if I have to spend a fortune to replace the lights might as well get something that fits and that someone might recommend. Thanks!!

My left rear turn signal keeps going out. I wish there was a way to just replace that light and not have to replace the whole fixture

I looked after I had already purchased new bulbs for a non-LED and found that I had the factory LED (purchased the truck used). I can't find a single light and so I've decided to change the look of both on my 2017 sport. Just really hard to find as I stated and quite pricy (compared to bulbs). This thread shows the back of the OEM LED that I have https://www.ramforum.com/threads/help-with-tail-light-replacement.207523/ I just don't want to spend a fortune on the wrong lights, hence my question.

Take your light out and look at the part number on it, then google the number and order a OEM part.

I looked really hard and these are the only two numbers that I found, neither checked out as a part number.

So that isn't a mopar number, but when I google 50593B it comes up as oem ram taillight. Looks aftermarket. Can you get a shot of the plugs?

It looks exactly like this one... The top is a 4 pin (just like the factory LED) and the bottom one holds an LED bulb. If it is aftermarket (could be) someone had to go to a lot of work to change the wiring harness.

I have the same lights you have and I have the harness, problem is that I want to replace my factory led lights with a smoked led. None of the oem led's have the same harness and i need to find or make a conversion harness. Anyone know where I can get the harness i need? I currently have the 22181 harness that has two 4 pin connectors and the plug on the truck is in the attached picture. I can rewire it, but, I would prefer a premade harness.

Have you thought of tinting your current taillights yourself? That way you know the plugs will match with no issues.

There is a Product called Night Shade. It is a Black translucent paint used for tinting lights. Goes on in light coats to achieve the level of darkness that you want. There are probably some Y/T videos you could watch, to see if this is something you might want to try.
