I sent them an email and they replied the next day that when they got them in stock they would send them.

They only sent enough to do my 2016 truck with me specifically telling them I’d bought TEN of their Bulbs to do a 16&19 Truck so I’ve re-emailed them again.

Use a step stool so you are higher then the lights. I actual had to face the back of the truck on the driver’s side and use my left hand to remove them. Did the same on the passenger side and used my right hand.

I'll be trying again tomorrow to replace the battery side bulbs and the lower bulb on the driver's side. I wish there was a tool like a plumbing basin wrench that could grab the ears of the bulb and facilitate applying torque.

The drivers side was easy too. Used a step stool which helped me get better leverage on pulling out the stocks.
My beamtechs came with a red gasket on them. So I'm guessing I don't need to pull the stock red rings off and add them to the beamtechs.
no need for me to remove the grill.

Yup, it was easy for me. Popped out the snorkle on passenger side for the quick change.

You can fit a bulb with either/or to see if one happens to fit a little better than the other if you like.

My BeamTechs didn’t fit near as tight as I’d like but I don’t think they’ll leak or vibrate loose.
I thought about adding a tiny o ring on them but I didn’t.
i really like them well so far ..... IF they’ll last ?

They are already in, no added gaskets, and don't feel like they will come out.

Good to know Poncho
Thanks for Everyone’s help on here
I’m Loving the 5000-6500K White Color.
The Much Brighter 9005 “Headlamp” Bulbs inplace of the 9145 Fog Lamp Bulbs makes a Huge Difference.
3500 lumens vs 800 lumens
