This is what I'm waiting on as well. I like the 2020 front end a lot better than the current design.

I like the new look of the 20"s and would consider a swap, but I imagine with the cost of the headlights and grill it wont happen.
That retrofit source link above is the only complete aftermarket source that I know of, besides maybe ebay, for the 17-19 OEM LED.

It's a lot easier to buy the truck with the stuff you want than trying to retrofit afterwards fellas. However, headlightrevolution.com is a GREAT resource for LED bulbs in non-led headlight housings. They have a decent spread and won't blind oncoming traffic. Reasonably priced. I used them on a few of my Cummins trucks and they worked great.

I followed the how to thread below to install the factory LED headlights and taillights. Happy that I did just wished I had ordered mine with them from the factory to save a thousand bucks and days worth of time researching and installing.

Hahaha! As much as people love the beamtechs and whatever other LED in the halogen housings people are using; I thought they were terrible. Like you said scattered light and a very unpleasant light color. The OEM LEDs are much better IMO.

Yep...the worst thing you can do is put LED or HID's into a housing designed for Halogen bulbs.

Unless you find parts cheaper from a wrecked truck.

You said it but the statement is a fact. Here in Texas we call it the "bubba" factor. These guys are happy as a pig in you know what and think they really have a great set of lights. In fact, they are crap and blind but for the most part they do not care or some legitimately do not know any better. Easy to tell as well. It is also a good excuse to get pulled over!
