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.

I have the Amazon app on my phone. You can bring up your return and find the scan code there. No printing. They scan it right off of your screen.

Lucky you. Mine is at the back of the store. Just today had Kohls returns for the wife and there was the Amazon sign. (If wife returns items, she buys more stuff than was being returned. Just not cost effective for me.)
So I'm in the same spot, 2019 F350 and going with the BeamTech's.
What I do have a quick question about is:
Headlights: H13 Bulb, but J1 or S1 (both now have heat sinks without fans)
Fog Lights: H10 Bulb looks to be what is recommended, but I see some folks that have used 9005 Bulbs as well.
Any thoughts or pro's / con's with either the Headlights or Fog lights?
I guess that was part of why I was asking, I have read through the entire post, but get conflicting opinions and more so, technology has changed / updated so figured I'd see if there was any updated input.
At this point, I'm thinking the Fan-less H13's J1's for the headlight bulbs, but the jury is still out on the fog light bulbs, H10 or 9005.
Also, part of the reason I asked is that with the updated bulbs, BOTH the J1's and the S1's are fan-less and I just wanted to see what folks were having better luck with. The J1's seem to be the 'new' and updated bulbs, but I want to ensure they are adjustable as was mentioned. Same with the fog lights. H10 or 9005.
I've had them installed for a little over a year. Only slight flickering every now and again. FM radio is fine. I had an Amateur radio installed (Ham Radio) and they interfered with that on VHF. But otherwise flawless.
OK, I read this thread and bought the Beamtech H13/9008 bulbs for my 2018 F250/6.2. Cost was $38.99 per pair
I installed all four bulbs in about 15 minutes. I only had to remove the air snorkel tube on the passenger side (takes about 30 seconds.) No other parts had to be removed. I could reach all the bulbs easily and removed all by hand except the upper driver's side bulb. It was tight enough that I had to use pliers. The stock red rubber washers on the halogen bulbs stuck to the headlight housing and I had to manually remove these.
The fit was excellent and I had no radio interference and no flickering. And honestly, I drove around the block and just about soiled myself. The difference in light output was jaw dropping. I will go on record and state that this mod is the single biggest improvement to my truck regardless of price.
Do it.

My vote for post of the day. +1
I have the ones with the fan and have experience no trouble with them. The fans do not bother anything and you forget that you have them. I'm not worried about the fans giving out at all.

Always great to hear that someone had the same experience as me well after I began this topic. Congrats on installing them the easy way on your first attempt. I was one of the guys who originally did grille removal and all the headaches that came with it. But after trading my 2017 for a 2019 I had every headlight, signal light and front marker light swapped out in 20 minutes or so.
I was trying to avoid fanned models just of failure concerns and really wanted the Beamtechs. These test results convinced me to go with the Techmax though. The higher light output on both low and high beam (~3 times), slightly warmer color temperature, light pattern and CREE LEDs were the bigger selling points. So far, I'm very pleased.

Your recommendation must have meant sales for Amazon. When I went to order them, I found that the TechMax were sold out. I think that I'll wait for replenishment.

Nice to see some other alternatives brought out here. Different choices are always good. As stated before, I'd be checking these out if my Beamtechs ever fail in any way.
