Another happy customer. 6 bulbs installed installed (grill off method) in under 30 mins. Best $100 i've spent of the truck so far.

it’s a night and day difference. We were driving next to each other and the led were so bright, it looked like the headlights were off on my brothers truck. Now he just order a set of leds.

Just finished installing the beamtechs, waiting for it to get dark to see the difference.

Removed the windshield washer filler neck, and the air box snorkle for install, don't know why anyone would go to the trouble of removing the grill, took me about 15 minutes to complete the install.

x10000000 for the beamtech 9005 fog. I originally purchased the Alla 9145, and it was dim to say the least. I couldn’t even notice they were on in pitch black (exaggerating, but barely).

i installed the 9005 and it’s like having real fog lights again. They are extremely bright and have a wide pattern. I am thoroughly pleased with them

how is the beam pattern on the road on the Beamtechs? My auxbeams have lost a lot of color and brightness over the last year and thinking of switching.

Thanks for all that, much appreciated. My current leds are a spotty mess on the road and glare traffic so I want to be sure before I drop the money on these.

I jumped on the bandwagon and ordered the H13s for the headlights and 9005 for the Fogs. Installed last night and couldn't be happier. I hope they last. No more orange.

No adjustments needed? Just plug them in and on your way?

No adjustments for me. Plug n play, but make sure the LEDS face Left/Right and not Up/Down with install. Pay attention to polarity with the fogs. Also make sure the Red seal is removed with the halogen bulbs or you will have issues tightening the new bulb into place. 30 min Job at most.

AtkinJr's post brings me to my question. The auxbeams suck, and are 3 sided. The beamtech appear to be two sided.

Should the LED's be facing left to right or up and down?
