The Morimoto LF520-A-ASM XB LED headlight pair brings amber daytime running lights and selectable sequential or standard turn signals to the listed Ram trucks. Check the wiring for the exact model year: 2015 trucks require additional CAN-bus resistors, and earlier trucks can need adapter or programming changes.
Fitment and original equipment
- Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500: 2009–2018. Ram 1500 Classic: 2019–2024. Confirm the original reflector or projector headlight configuration.
- 2015 models require additional CAN-bus resistors. Morimoto’s exact 2015 configuration specifies two H281.2 resistors; these are separate from the base LF520-A-ASM headlight pair.
- For 2009–2012 trucks, confirm the additional wiring-adapter arrangement. The guide also describes restricted access to the vertical aim adjuster on these trucks.
- 2013–2014 trucks may require reprogramming for OE projector headlights to avoid error codes. Morimoto also flags possible OE-projector programming on its 2015 application pages.
- Left-hand-drive beam pattern. The housings were designed and tested on US-spec vehicles; confirm Canadian or other-market wiring and DRL equipment.

Before installation
Identify the factory lamp and configure the wiring according to the installation guide. Confirm the 2009–2012 adapter needs, the additional 2015 resistors and any listed projector programming before starting. The guide warns that aftermarket turn-signal lamps or bulbs elsewhere on the truck can affect flash behaviour. Connect the DRL fuse tap, test both signal modes and check final headlight aim.
Warranty
Morimoto 5-year limited warranty. Manufacturer terms and exclusions apply.
Product questions and answers
Are the 2015 resistors optional if I buy the amber headlights?
They are a separate purchase but required for the listed 2015 applications. Morimoto’s 2015 configuration combines the LF520-A-ASM pair with two H281.2 CAN-bus resistors. This particular resistor requirement is for 2015, not every later model year.
What needs checking on a 2009–2012 Ram?
Confirm the correct wiring-adapter arrangement for the original lamps. The installation guide also explains that access to the vertical aim adjuster differs on 2009–2012 trucks; review that procedure before fitting the headlights.
Can a projector-equipped truck require programming?
Yes. Morimoto flags possible OE-projector reprogramming for 2013–2014 trucks and also warns about it on the exact 2015 application pages. A matching connector does not remove that vehicle-configuration requirement.
Can the amber turn signals blink without the sequential effect?
Yes. The guide shows sequential and standard blinking configurations. The DRL remains the amber-DRL version of the headlight; choose the turn-signal setting as instructed and test both sides.
Does the headlight pair guarantee no hyperflash with aftermarket bulbs?
No. The guide warns that non-OEM turn-signal lamps or bulbs elsewhere on the vehicle can produce hyperflash or problems with sequential operation. Check the complete lighting circuit and its configuration if a signal problem appears.
Is the 2019–2024 application for Ram 1500 Classic?
Yes. That later range is specifically the Ram 1500 Classic. It should not be applied to the redesigned Ram 1500 body just because both carry a 1500 badge.
What is included, and what must I confirm separately?
The base package is the left/right headlight pair, installation harness and fuse tap. Confirm the additional 2015 resistors, any earlier-truck adapters, projector programming and Canadian/non-US equipment for the exact vehicle before ordering.
