Just be aware that once the turn signals are converted to LED, a change has to be made via FORScan or a dealer's IDS computer so that a hyperflash condition doesn't occur on the instrument cluster. The light itself will flash at normal speed, but the indicator in the cluster will flash rapidly.

So I got everything installed...went as smooth as I could have hoped. I did the beamtech headlights and 9005's in the fog lights as well as the backup and licence plate lights. Huge upgrade over stock. Thanks for all the research and advice on install. Best money spent on lights of any vehicle I have owned.

Amazon has two styles of Beamtech H13 LED Headlights. Which one is most correct? Are both plug and play without having to purchase extra resistors or harnesses? Reprogramming?

This is my understanding, Clocked at 3 and 9, I need to order 4 of them, installation is about an hour without having to take the entire front of the truck apart. Anything else that I need to know about these style bulbs. I already have read about, installing the factory LED Option and LED in a non-LED light is bad.

Funny story, I took a 4 hour ride with 2,000 to 2,500 pounds in the box. I did get flashed a few times on this drive but that speaks more to weight in the truck than lights.

The Beamtech fogs were H10 9145/9140/9040 replacements. I've heard here that others have had luck with another number, possibly 9005? Maybe someone could post on that.

I don't seem to use them much anyway so it hasn't been a priority for me to switch them out.

The 9005 are actually a headlamp bulb for other applications & are Much Brighter than stock fogs.
Direct fit plug & play

I kinda thought that from reading the bulb description. Thanks for the confirmation.

Beamtech 9005's are plug and play for the fog lights. They are much better than the stock size.
