Thanks for the pics Poncho. Are they lights really as different in color in person as they appear in the pics?

I watched video and did everything. I did not change to LED he said later that if you did the lights will strobe.
side note. Got all done no hyperflash however if I leave lights on with out key in there are no bells? I thought there was a warning if lights were left on by mistake n no keys? Unless I changed something else....4 hours power point? Just trying to see if you all who corrected hyperflash still get warning. Thx

I decided to get the Beamtechs based solely on this post, and they are great. I custom ordered my truck and really wanted LED headlights but didn't want to pay the extra to go up to lariat ultimate plus another grand to get them . I think this solution is better than the factory LEDs as the trucks I've noticed with factory LEDs only have the top set of lights on. After reading through this post a couple times I ended up getting Beamtech 9005 bulbs for the fogs. The color is identical to the headlights. I've only had the fogs in since yesterday so I haven't tested them in the dark to see if they are too bright but I like the look . So thanks to Poncho for being the guinea pig and all other comments .

Like some of the other posts, if they only last a year or two it was cheap enough compared to the factory option I'd just buy another set .

That sucks. I was curious so I looked at my past Amazon orders. I placed the order on December 18 and they were delivered 12/21.
But things happen with shippers sometimes. I recently ordered an iPhone replacement screen that should have been here in 3-4 days. USPS tracking info didn't change for several days after it showed that it had been accepted and was at a USPS facility. Finally had to open a case with the PO. It finally arrived about 2 weeks after I ordered it.
