Locate the headlight assembly from behind, remove the dust cover or retaining clip, disconnect the wiring harness, twist the old H11 bulb counter-clockwise to remove it, then insert the new bulb and reassemble. Note: Dodge vehicles use a CANbus system, so LED replacements may need an anti-flicker decoder. The whole process typically takes 10 to 30 minutes per side depending on accessibility.

LED bulbs used off-road or in auxiliary lights are legal everywhere. For on-road headlight use, legality varies by state.

Halogen bulbs produce a warm yellow light (around 3200K), last 500 to 1000 hours, and draw more power. LED bulbs emit a brighter white light (5000-6000K), last 25,000+ hours, and use less energy.

Can You Put LED Bulbs in a 2009 Dodge Ram Pickup?

Upgrading to LED is one of the most effective ways to modernize your Dodge's appearance and safety profile. We recommend starting your upgrade with the H11 low beams, as they see the most use. Adding a matching 9005 LED kit later will complete the look and ensure consistent lighting performance. Because Dodge utilizes a CANbus system, standard LED bulbs may cause "bulb out" errors on your dashboard. Always opt for "Error-Free" or CANbus-ready kits which include the necessary resistors. Don't forget the 9006 fog lights; switching these to LED can dramatically improve your visibility in adverse weather.
