I too went with the Beamtechs, and they have a much improved pattern over the 3-side LED previously installed. High beams actually do something...they make a difference in light down the road.

Very pleased and no more fan noise that the previous LEDs exhibited.

Glad you like them so far. I'm still happy with my choice of them. Much better high beam than the Sylvania LXE that I tried out.
Thanks for the tip on removing some material from the base of certain bulbs. It came in handy when I replaced the front turn signals with switchback bulbs.

I will say the stock halogens on my 18 are way brighter on low beam the my 06 Ram 2500 on high beam.
I will be ordering the beamtechs today,


To be clear, I want the H13's right? Lots of choices on Amazon for beamtech

What fog bulbs is everyone using? Seen 9005 and HR.
What say you?

I went with these Alla fogs from Amazon. They're H10/9145 replacement. Amazon's chart says they won't fit, I'm guessing because the stock bulb shows a 9140. The item description shows 9140 as one of the cross reference numbers so I ordered them. They're in and functioning just fine.
Used along with the Beamtech you don't see as much contrast or noticeable difference like when you activate fogs with the all halogen setup. I still like it better.
Amazon Amazon

As far as headlights, here are the Beamtech:

The owners manual says 9140 for the fog, after doing some research online
9140 is 40w
9145 is 45w
9145 should fit fine for the fogs.

I did the Headlight Revolution Super Novas for mine, Got a little better price during their christmas sale but still pretty expensive. I do like that the Super Novas are fanless, just has a heat sink.
Did the grill removal so I could put some Rough Country LEDs in the grill. Those would have been a more impressive upgrade if I hadn't put the LEDs in at the same time. They put a broad white light out that would have helped the stock lights more. I was expecting something more of a spot beam.

Just ordered the rear LEDs this morning. Sent the Zevo bulbs back last week. The front switchback signal lights and front LED side markers are in.
I'm waiting until everything is installed until I try FORScan for the hyper flash.

OK. Sitting at dentist office waiting for my wife so I brought the laptop & OBDLink along to pass the time.
The instructions starting about the 32 minute mark of the video you posted worked just fine for me.
Of course I didn’t have to flip a switch on the adapter like he did because mine has none. I didn’t change the settings for rear lights yet because I’m waiting for the bulbs to arrive.
But adjusting the Front Bulb Turn Outage to No Outage, the Outage ABM to No Outage and the Frequency Selection Line to LED did the job. No more more hyper flash in the cluster.
