The Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit part # 119178KIT will work to bypass the TIPM on a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500. In regards to installation; the yellow wire goes to the left side turn signal, the green wire goes to the right side turn signal, and the red wire goes to the stop signal on either side. Therefore, you will only need one kit in order to bypass the light portion. In order to bypass the trailer brake and battery charge line portion you will need the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole part # 37185. In regards to installation; run the blue wire to the brake controller and black wire to your battery. They both have grounds that needed to be attached as well but the purple wire is optional.
