In the last 2 weeks we've had 3 feet of snow & wind/blizzard conditions, 60F/rain and then freezing rain. The prediction for the next couple of days is a winter storm warning with 14 to 18 inches and winds gusting to 40 MPH. Just another winter on the NY/Canada border.
This weather is sure making my annual Florida vacation seem to take longer to arrive!

If my wife could retire I'd definitely spend 4-5 months in Florida every winter.

One of these days I'll get back in there with FORScan and add my switchback parking/front turn lights.

I installed all 4 h13’s and a canbus adapter on each bulb in case there was flickering or any other weird symptom, I then experienced a approx 5 sec delay switching from high beams back to low beams, I removed all 4 canbus adapters and have no problems, the beamtechs are much brighter, they light up the road much farther ahead and to the sides, there are no drawbacks and it is the most efficient mod for the money, and def safety, looks/ they look bright and white,

Every light on my truck is LED now. Mixed bag brand wise. As everyone knows, I started with Beamtech headlights. Then went as follows:
• Alla 9145 fog lights
• SuperBright red tail/brake light bulbs
• Some Amazon generic T10/194 for the license plate lights
• Alla switchback for front signal/parking lights. (White when in the running or parking lamp mode, they flash amber when using the turn signals)
• Headlight Revolution reverse lights
• SuperBright front side marker lights
• The truck had factory LED for cab marker and 3rd brake/cargo lights.
I killed the hyperflash with FORScan after replacing the signal lights. There are 2 individual spots for front & rear to edit.
I wasn't concerned about all being the same brand, as I didn't do it as an all in one project. I also discovered that sometimes the lower priced or off brands do the same job as more expensive alternatives.
As far as colors, SuperBright's website and their email support people recommend using the same color LED bulb as the lens it will work with.
