4.1. Tools Required

4.2. Installation Steps

  1. Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure the vehicle is off and the battery is disconnected as per safety guidelines.
  2. Access Existing Tail Light: Locate the existing tail light assembly on the vehicle. Depending on your specific Dodge Ram model, you may need to open the tailgate or remove a few screws from the inside of the truck bed access panel to reach the mounting hardware.
  3. Remove Old Assembly: Unscrew any visible mounting screws or bolts holding the tail light in place. Carefully pull the old tail light assembly away from the vehicle body. Disconnect the electrical wiring harness by pressing the release tab and pulling apart the connectors.
  4. Transfer Bulbs: The new WEELMOTO assembly does not include bulbs. Carefully twist and remove the stock bulbs (e.g., 3057X3) from your old tail light assembly. Insert these bulbs into the corresponding sockets on the new WEELMOTO tail light assembly.
  5. Connect New Assembly: Connect the vehicle's electrical wiring harness to the new WEELMOTO tail light assembly. Ensure the connection is secure.
  6. Position and Secure: Carefully position the new tail light assembly into the vehicle's tail light opening. Ensure all mounting points align. Secure the assembly using the original mounting screws or bolts. Do not overtighten.
  7. Repeat for Other Side: Follow the same steps for the other side of the vehicle.
  8. Test Functionality: Reconnect the vehicle's battery. Turn on the vehicle and test all tail light functions: running lights, brake lights, turn signals, and reverse lights.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your tail lights, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

    • Check if the bulbs are correctly seated in their sockets.
    • Verify that the electrical harness connections are secure.
    • Inspect the vehicle's fuse box for any blown fuses related to the tail lights.

    • Minor, temporary condensation can occur due to temperature changes and is often normal, dissipating on its own. The assembly includes a one-way vent to help manage this.
    • If condensation is persistent or excessive, check for proper sealing around the assembly and ensure the vent is not obstructed.
