Aftermarket Tail lights

I busted mine
truck rolled backwards into a gate when I was inside .

Cracked the left taillight and scratched the bumper pretty good. Im getting a touch-up kit of rhte bumper(should be an easy fix: spray on paint, spray on clearcoat, sandpaper... )

anyhow My truck is brand new(3 weeks old) 2006 3500 SLT Mineral Grey Metallic.
u guys know any good cheap net places to get some new tailights. Im willing to upgrade if i find some that are really nice.

thx bros

Any issues with the lights? Did you have to do any extra wiring or was it just plug and play? I made the mistake of buying a set of the APC ones which I prompty returned because they would not work with the parking lights on and I kept getting a lamp out light when I stepped on the brakes. I would love to buy them but don't want to go through the same B.S. again. Thanks.

Just did a search on EBay for "LED Tailights Dodge Ram" and these popped up for $135 plus shipping. I am ordering a set now.

With the LED lights, is anyone having trouble with the lamp out warning light on the dash ??? Just wondering since the LEDs draw such a small amperage.

heyguys, even if the LED lights say they are for 02-05 trucks they will fit an 06 too right?
I thought all those years were the same bodystyle?

They are a plug & play light. Make sure you get them plugged in all the way before you push in on the side tab to lock them in place. I didn't & I kept getting a taillight out on my dash.

I knew I shouldn' thave posted that pic. Now I just have the typical Ram w/ some LED lights. Woopty Doo.

Those would look awesome with my strobe shoved in the clear part! And for me to say that a pair of after market lights look good is really pulling teeth. I usually hate those clear things. I can't see them in the day light and can't tell whether folks are stopping, turning, or going!

If you have a dark colored truck, they make the carbon fiber ones as well as tinted.
