- Stanbro, you're running the Beamtechs?
- Which model is everyone running from links below? The fanless?
- Any FORScan adjustment needed to prevent warning messages?

I don't have them. I've seen some that were ok but most are pretty obnoxious, IMO. They look like a search light or something. Had a guy on Hwy 90 2-lane oncoming that had them and blinded the hell out of me. I can only imagine the poor people in a car getting blasted by them. Just my observation.

I have the fanless in the headlights as well as the fogs. When I have the low beams and fogs on at the same time, I seem to get flashed quite often. IMO they are no brighter oncoming than other factory LED 6500K color headlights. Seems like if they are brighter than the stock yellow, people flash.

Stock. Pulled up to my garage door and marked the stock beam patterns with painters tape. Ensured that the new LED pattern matched.

Good idea. I never readjusted the lights on my stock suspension truck with taller than factory tires. I'm thinking that lowering the beams just a touch might not be a bad idea. How far away from the garage door were you and what was your beam height from the ground?

Honestly not sure. I just parked in front of the doors, marked where the beam was at that time with painters tape, made sure the LED's hit the same spots, then removed the tape. Didn't measure anything.

I just got a set of replacement Anzo lights due to a bit of moisture in the lights. Put them in yesterday and set the halos as my DRL with FORScan. I love the look.
To check beam pattern, you need to be 25ft back for those commenting above

I initially bought these
back in Sept 2017. One bulb finally went out last month. Overall, I was so so on them. The patterns were good and they were bright, just thought I could get a way better beam. I ordered the Beamtech
and feel like I am less impressed. The beam pattern is not that good and the beam pattern is WAY higher than the auxbeam were for whatever reason. I have adjusted the headlights ALL of the way down and they still sit pretty high. Any one else have this issue?
