The Raxiom RAXR159530 Axial Series LED third brake light replaces the factory center high-mount stop light on the 2019-2026 Dodge RAM 1500 with a full LED unit featuring a dark smoked lens.

Frequently Asked Questions
What years of Dodge RAM 1500 does the RAXR159530 fit?The RAXR159530 fits the 2019-2026 Dodge RAM 1500 fifth generation (DT platform) including Tradesman, Big Horn, Lone Star, Laramie, Rebel, Limited, Longhorn, and TRX trims. It does not fit the previous generation 2009-2018 RAM 1500 or the RAM 1500 Classic.
Is the RAXR159530 plug-and-play on the 2019-2026 RAM 1500?Yes. The RAXR159530 uses the factory wiring harness connector at the center high-mount stop light location on the 2019-2026 RAM 1500. No wire cutting or modification is required for installation.
What is the difference between the RAXR159530 smoked and the RAXR159529 clear version?The RAXR159530 uses a dark smoked lens that tones down the appearance of the LED elements when the brake light is not engaged, giving the rear of the RAM 1500 a blacked-out look. The RAXR159529 uses a clear lens for a standard appearance with maximum light transmission. Both units use the same LED construction and plug-and-play fitment.
Will the smoked lens reduce the brake light visibility on the RAM 1500?The LED elements within the RAXR159530 produce sufficient output to remain clearly visible through the smoked lens under normal driving conditions. The smoked lens reduces the raw light intensity seen from outside the vehicle but does not prevent the brake light from functioning as a visible stop signal.
Will the RAXR159530 trigger a fault code or bulb-out warning on the RAM 1500?Most 2019-2026 RAM 1500 trucks accept the RAXR159530 without triggering fault codes or bulb-out warnings. If a warning appears after installation, a load resistor compatible with the CHMSL circuit typically resolves it.
Does the RAXR159530 fit the RAM 1500 Classic (2019-2021)?No. The RAM 1500 Classic is based on the previous DS generation platform with a different CHMSL mounting configuration. The RAXR159530 is designed specifically for the 2019-2026 RAM 1500 DT platform.
Is the RAXR159530 street legal on the RAM 1500?Raxiom designs their Axial Series lighting products to meet applicable standards for street use. Some states regulate the use of smoked lens brake light products for street use. Verify DOT compliance documentation with Raxiom directly and confirm local regulations before using.
Does the RAXR159530 fit the RAM 1500 TRX?Yes. The RAM 1500 TRX uses the same DT platform as the standard 2019-2026 RAM 1500 lineup and shares the same third brake light mounting location and wiring configuration. The RAXR159530 is compatible with the TRX.
