Sucks indeed, but I'll manage. I ordered from e-Bay, and not Amazon.

I got the beamtechs and installed them this weekend. Low beam is fantastic...not sure about highs yet...need to get out on a dark stretch of road to check. Much better than stock so far

Same experience here. Led lows are twice as bright as stock but highs are only 10% better imo. I'm still pleased for the price. Probably going to get grill insert led bars when I find something I like.

I did the LED bulbs in the fogs also and I put the Rough Country kit in the grill (dual 8") All three equals surface of the sun bright

It happened to me with one light. Believe me, it ain't going in with 2 gaskets!
For the money (not much) that I've got tied up in the Beamtech headlight and the Alla fogs I'm pretty happy with the results.



You can also look up how your modules were originally programmed here and change them as needed if you got into a jam:

Good info, thanks!


I ran a couple of late nights, early (0200) drives through the desert, lows are fantastic, highs are really good. Highs seem to create more of an overall flood with some better distance than lows. Highs really light up the sides and trees if you have them.
Best mod to any vehicle that I have owned, for the price.

So one quick question before I place this order for the beamtechs. Do you have to change something in forscan to run these or just plug and play? The last couple pages got me confused. Sorry if a newb question.

Headlights and fog lights are plug and play. If you get any LED's for blinkers you need to make changes in forscan to prevent a hyperflash on your dash only. LED blinkers will still blink normally on the outside.

Which Beamtech fog did you order? Seems like there are a couple options

Have any of you changing to LED bulbs gone out and had the truck driven towards you? Are they making a lot of glare or are they well focused?

I can't see the videos because they are blocked at work and no internet at home.

I ordered the 9005 6500K for fogs. Yesterday on amazon they showed up. As last one in stock. Today I can't find them. Will see what shows up I guess.
