This video goes over how to replace a rear tail light bulb on a 2017 Ram 1500 with a 5.7 motor. This will be the same process for any 2009 - 2019 Ram 1500. Repairing tail lights on this vehicle is a very simple and easy process and not as complex as one might think. Some can be a little more difficult, but this one is relatively simple compared to most. By law you always need to have two working brake lights. You could possibly even receive a R/R (report and repair) ticket if your vehicle does not meet these state requirements. It’s important that owners periodically check every exterior light to make sure it is working properly. The easiest way to get this done is to have a friend or family member stand outside the vehicle while you run through the lights, brakes and turn indicators to make sure everything is working properly. Once a bulb failure is detected, you must use the exact bulb that is specified for your vehicle so it works properly.
Brake lights are there to warn other drivers that you are slowing down or about to stop!
Turn signals and brake lights are the communication/safety part of our automotive lighting system, allowing other drivers to know your intent and hopefully avoid you in the process.
