If your talking about the 3rd brake light cargo's, I replaced the whole assembly with a "Recon" led assembly. It's brighter.

Not "yet".
They have no popped out yet, they have been in there since March.
So far so good with them.
What kind of timeline were you seeing of them wiggling out?
I have to admit of not putting alot of miles on the truck since install because of Covid which has stifled the activities I use the truck most for.

update on a 2020 STX with the beamtech 10k lumens..after making sure proper alignment vertically, and the low/high beam LED chip in correct orientation. The low beam has a decent beam, not much flood, the high beam is extremely spotty. Im considering putting stock bulbs back in, I don't think the Beam-tech 10k lumen bulbs work well in my bulb housing.

You are correct for 7.3. No need to remove grill, etc.
Driver's side is a little tight for the lower bulb but doable without removing anything.
Passenger side - pop out air filter box and very easy install.
Those four and two fogs took me about 30 minutes total using small step ladder.

I refuse to spend $400 on LEDs from Headlight revolution...I put them on the expedition, but cant justify on the 2020 F350...I think the reflector housing on these trucks is the biggest issue. Im not convinced you can get a great beam pattern.
The 2020 has a different reflector design then the 17-19

I went with these,
It seemed like the beamtechs could be hit and miss so I did more research. I got in contact with some of the reviewers and got real feedback. Couldn't be happier, WAY brighter than stock halogens. Beam pattern almost exactly the same, auto brights working fine. No flickering after two weeks. No one flashing me, no error codes. Fingers crossed they last.

Thanks for the pics, lo beam looks good. Does the hi beam look pretty good too, when I have used LEDs bulbs w/ reflectors in the past the hi beam is usually underwhelming and doesn't have much reach?
