Budget LED headlights
#166
I noticed that they are the super white 6500K color and I would rather stay with the stock yellowish color that works well in snow and fog. I use blinding bright off road lights when I need more light since I rarely encounter any oncoming traffic, and yes I turn them off if I do. Are there any bulbs that keep the 3500K color and offer more light?

for anyone who has run anzo light housings in past how do they stack up in terms of quality compared to oem? I've never used an aftermarket housing but often see trucks running around with aftermarket housings with one headlight completely/led rings not working or other lighting issues. Not sure what brands I've been seeing just an observation I've noticed. Hoping these work well as I'm very interested.

I need to take a picture against my white garage, but the Beamtechs have a very nice cutoff at the top. Better than the stock halogens, and the "3-sided" LEDs I had installed initially.

From behind, really easy, just make sure the original o-ring seals come out too from the oe bulbs, they sometimes stick to the headlight housing.

For the passenger side, some remove the battery and some don't. I chose not to and it went OK.
The above is for 6.2 trucks.

I'm sure you've read this somewhere in these pages, but in case you didn't see it, remove the filler neck from the washer tank for easier access on the driver side. I ended up breaking the plastic push in fastener. But I keep a selection of those on hand so I just replaced it.

There`s a reason the OEM`s cost more than the Anzo`s and that higher cost is a result of design, engineering, and build quality. Sure, OEM LED headlights can and do fail but the odds of them having any of the issues you listed above or just failing after a few months or a year is very rare.

For the tabs, get one of these, I've used it on every car I have had for the past 15 years. Great tool, cheap, works, easy.

On the 6.7L, I found it easier to remove the drivers battery as well. If you have small hands, you might not need too.

The 6.7s are the same. Although I didn't break the plastic fastener (luck not skill)

I too want to stay in the 3500k range for the same reasons. Better performance in the rain/snow. Lower Kelvin doesn't get absorbed as much. I'm thinking we may have to stay with halogens that are better focused and built. Still researching it.
