I still can't get my drivers side factory bulbs loose .... I can't get in to the bolts hidden by the bumper to pull housings. Only way I see is dropping the front bumper....

Any suggestions?
I had to actually work a pair of channel locks in there and GENTLY twist them loose. Once they pop loose, they come out easy. There must be some kind of coating on the mating surfaces that acts like glue when it dries.

I removed the windshield washer funnel as Hackenbush advised and then lightly grabbed the bulb housing with a long set of needle nose pliers. Just an 1/8 turn to loosen and then popped out east by hand.
Liquid Steam, Can you post a picture of both your low beams and high beams on a wall or your garage door about 30 feet away so we can see what kind of pattern the Auxbeams throw out. It would be much appreciated.

Had to Forscan to get rid of the hyperflash for rear LED bulbs, but worth it not to have to wire in some canceller, front LED blinkers worked fine as well.
CopperCore,
Looks like you've already went down the road I'm heading down, changing incandescent bulbs to LED. I've already changed a few, and plan to change a few more. I'm currently looking for a LED replacement for the brake/tail light bulbs. I was thinking about getting the JDMaster ones. I see that you put them in the front turn signals on your truck. What are your thoughts on those bulbs? What about the Yorkim bulbs you put in your tail lights, how do you like them? Same as stock? better? Also, I was wondering if you could post a picture or video of them during the day and/or night for reference. Any help you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks
What the dealer does has nothing to do with the headlights. All they do is turn off the bulb out warning, That way it ignores the low voltage the Turn signals/Brake lights would trigger. All other lights you can change at anytime without issue, Including Head Lights Fog Lights.
Hate to bring up an old thread but this comment caught my interest. When the dealer disabled this warning, does this eliminate the need for resistors on the brakes and flashers?
Any update from the folks running Auxbeams? Are they still functioning properly? The reviews seem to be all over the map here.
I’m running these and I hate them more and more. Love to color and the output but the beams are terrible. Not matter how I rotate this 3 sided POS, I cannot get a solid light pattern that isn’t all over the place. Will definitely be getting new ones after I read thru this thread

There's a lengthy thread on this, so I'll leave links to the topic and the lights we used. A little over month so far and I like them.
But keep in mind that this all very subjective.

Correct. I had this done and switched to LED front signals. No resistors needed.
Im just curious why yall keep ordering Auxbeam?? Cutting on and off,beam pattern isnt right no different in high and low beams...If they are giving yall that much trouble from the start do u really think they gonna last a few yrs??
This completely just blew my mind, now I must speak with my dealership to see if they can do this for me. If there a thread with more info, please point me in the right direction. Thanks for the info everyone.
