Are Load Resistors Required for all LED Replacement Lights on Truck
Question:
Do you have to put load resistors on all LEDS installed or just the turn signal LEDS. I want to change my tail lights, back up lights, third brake light and license plate light all to LEDS. I have a 2016 Ram 1500 Big Horn addition. I read where when ever a LED bulb was installed a resistor need to be also or you would get messages inside on your dash. Thanks for any information you can provide.

You are going to want to use LED Light Bulb Load Resistor # DI34ZR for all the replacement LEDs you are installing on your 2016 Ram 1500.
On most vehicles what will happen is the reduced power draw of LED lights makes the vehicle think you have a burned out bulb which results in the messages on your dash you referred to; using load resistors prevents this from happening.
