Ram 1500 Headlight & Taillight Tint in Langley

What lighting does a Ram 1500 have?

LED headlamps, plus LED taillamps where the build includes them. Ram’s 2026 design page describes “distinct LED headlamps and available LED taillamps and fog lamps”, plus available signature daytime running lamps and a customizable LED walk-up animation. The upper trims go further:

The trim details come from Ram Canada’s 2026 lineup and the 2026 Canadian feature list. Ram lists the signature lighting and animation as part of the headlamps, so film over a headlamp lens changes all of it at once.

Can smoked taillights on a Ram 1500 pass in BC?

They can fail, at either shade. The trouble is the 2025 Vehicle Inspection Manual: item 1.0(a) in Section 6 fails a lamp if its lens cuts the light passing through or is “covered in any manner”, and smoked film on a Ram’s lens does both at once.

The Motor Vehicle Act Regulations set the targets the film works against:

• s. 4.15: two red tail lamps, visible 150 m behind the truck
• s. 4.17(3)(a): red stop lamps, visible 100 m back in normal sunlight
• s. 4.04(2)(c): no required lamp may be “shielded, covered or obscured”

The shop installs smoked taillight film on request and explains that risk before it starts. If the truck needs to pass, the film comes off with heat. Whether smoked taillights are legal in BC covers tickets and orders in full, and how much taillight film dims a brake light puts numbers on it.

Should the third brake light on a Ram get film?

Ask first, especially on a truck with the digital rearview mirror. Ram’s 2026 feature list describes the RHO Level 1 group’s centre high-mounted stop lamp as an LED assembly “with cargo box illumination and rearview mirror camera”, so the camera that feeds the mirror lives in the same housing.

Section 4.17(5) permits one additional centre-mounted stop lamp, provided it displays only red to the rear, and the manual’s lens test covers it as it does every lamp. On a truck where that housing also holds the mirror’s camera, have the shop look at it with you before deciding anything about film there.

Should Ram 1500 lamp recalls be done before film goes on?

Yes. Two recent Ram 1500 recalls filed with NHTSA, the US safety regulator, touch the headlamps, and one of them can mean a new assembly.

Owner letters for 26V421000 went out on September 17, 2026, and a Ram dealer can check by VIN whether yours is included. If a headlamp is swapped under recall, any film on the old lens leaves with it, so have the dealer finish recall work before booking headlight film.

How do you book Ram 1500 taillight or headlight film?

Pick the lamps and the shade, then send the year and trim. The shop’s 50% smoke is the subtle option and its pick for anything with amber signals in the housing; 30% is the darker, blacked-out look; yellow and clear are for headlights.

Allow two to three hours per pair. The shop publishes a 7-year STEK warranty covering yellowing, cracking and peeling. Pricing comes through the light film quote form; for a quick question, text 604 534 6433. The smoked taillight page covers the film itself.
