This
automotive "how-to" guide was specifically written to assist owners
of the fourth generation (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013) Dodge
RAM 1500 truck in replacing a burnt out license plate light bulb or
upgrading them both to brighter LED units. Owners of other Dodge, Ram Trucks, or Chrysler vehicles such as the Dart, Avenger, Challenger, Charger, Durango, Journey, Grand Caravan, 2500, 3500, 4500, 5500, C/V Tradesman, 200, 300 and Town & Country may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. Replacement license plate light bulbs are part # 194 from manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, Eiko, Wagner and Philips. If you would like to have brighter license plate lights, install some compatible 194 LED bulbs. No tools are needed to replace the license plate light bulbs. |
