I ordered the variety pack. The 7mm is what fits tight around the wires with a little pressure applied to close the clamp. I also put the 9mm around the wire because the kit only came with 4 of each. The 9mm has a lot of play.

Thanks. If the symptom shows up for me, I’ll order these.
Wonder why some trucks have the issue and some don't. You have Lariat Ultimate and I assume Sony upgrade audio.
(I needed 5mm ferrite filters, 7mm.)

I'm trying to figure out which to buy for my 2019 F350 DRW. I want to do the headlights and foglights. Every time I think I have figured it out and know which ones to get, I find more info that makes me question the decision.
I have FORScan so I don't mind changing to LED setting for the headlights when I enable Bambi Mode.
I don't want water getting in the headlights and I just want to buy once and install once. Maybe too much to ask. LOL

My advice is to buy whatever you settle on from Amazon. If you don't like them, it's easy enough to ship them back . The new system is pretty nice. Start the return. If you pick the right option they send you a Q code either via email to print or you can view it on Amazon's phone app. Take it to a UPS store and they'll scan it, label it and ship it back. And you're usually credited quickly. I returned an item yesterday. By the time I arrived home from the UPS store I already had the credit.

For whatever reason different people have had different experiences. Most were good, some didn't care for them. I don't think you're going to find a one size fits all answer. As the old saying goes, ya pays your money and ya takes your chances.
My advice is to buy whatever you settle on from Amazon. If you don't like them, it's easy enough to ship them back . The new system is pretty nice. Start the return. If you pick the right option they send you a Q code either via email to print or you can view it on Amazon's phone app. Take it to a UPS store and they'll scan it, label it and ship it back.

Another good option for those who don't have a nearby UPS Store. Do you know if they print up the return label and handle it all like UPS?

I bought a set of 9005 yellow fogs. But in all honesty they've been installed for about 2 months and I have yet to take them out after dark and try them!

That is my understanding from Amazon's site. Kohls is same process as UPS store. To me the UPS store is more convenient. I always hate having to walk to the total back of the Kohls store for returns. Why can't they just have something up front? I assume so you browse the store while walking back....sigh.

At my Kohl's store, returns are handled right inside the front door. I print out the Amazon return sheet and hand that and the item to the Kohl's employee. They scan it in. Takes a few moments. Very handy.
