2019–2025 Ram 1500 headlight bulbs: common questions

What headlight bulb does a 2019–2025 Ram 1500 use?

H11 (halogen reflector on Tradesman/Big Horn); sealed LED on premium headlights (no user-replaceable bulb) for the low beam and 9005/HB3 (halogen reflector); LED on premium lamps for the high beam. Trims with factory LED or HID projectors use a sealed assembly instead and are not bulb-serviceable.

What fog light bulb does a 2019–2025 Ram 1500 take?

LED on most equipped trims.

Can you put LED bulbs in a 2019–2025 Ram 1500?

Physically, yes, LED replacements exist in every common base. Whether they work well depends on the housing: a reflector housing designed around a halogen filament scatters LED output into oncoming traffic instead of down the road. Projector housings tolerate the swap far better. Some vehicles also flag the lower current draw as a bulb-out fault.
