2020 Ram 2500 tradesman. Is it possible to swap the tail lights for OEM led ? If Yes can I install the ones with blind spot?

It is possible, you might need an adaptor harness just to get the lights to work though? (I added them to my 16 but not sure what your 20 tradesman has connector wise?)

And yes you can get blind spot working, but it's not plug and play. You will need to run additional wires back to to the cab and plug into the canbus, as well as the BCM. Then add wires to the door modules, add the correct mirror glass and enable all the functions in the BCM. That's kind of the quick and dirty of it. It's a fair amount of work

No thanks then. I'm just gonna swap to OEM Led tail lights without the blind spot. If it was quick and easy wire cut and connect job I will do it but if I have to run wires to the cab then it's just too much work for something I don't really need
