The halogen housings are not designed for LED bulbs but it’s a very popular thing to do.

I get it. I just want brighter headlights both low and hi beams. I would hate to do leds and have lots of spill..

Light is light, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a diode or a filament producing it. As long as the reflector housing can project the light out on the same way (which is why LED bulb fitment is important) you get more lumens per watt with an LED bulb along with a longer lifespan and increased durability.

I replaced the halogens in my 2015 with LEDS and the difference is night and day. I would never go back

As many, many others have stated, the Beamtech's (H13 for the headlights & 9005 for the fogs) are outstanding. Line them up as mentioned and your done. More importantly, you can actually see at night and they are about ~$120 for all 6 lights. Don't let some of these other vendors that are selling similar LED's for $600.00 fool you. You'll find allot of info on this site about people that purchased $600.00 worth of LED lights that keep failing. The Beamtech's have been the #1 favorites, hands down, since I think @Poncho450 first posted about them!
Many happy customers, myself included.

Are the H13s for the 2019 trucks? I couldn't find anything on Beamtechs website.

I keep reading to check the adjustment of the headlights before making any changes. Is there a thread on adjusting the headlights?

For whatever crazy reason mine were adjusted as high as they would go right from the dealer's lot.

I sure hope so because I kept the H13's out of the 2017 I traded and have been using them in my 2019 for the last 3 months.

Wolfeman, I do not have pics. I will say that they have better output than the Silverstars and do not overheat the housing like other high output lights. they are still a 55w bulb. Next time I take it out at night, I'll try to get some pics.

H13 for headlights, these are what the 2019 manual states. The amazon site says no fitment, but these are the numbers in my owners manual. I have a 19.
I should get them tomorrow.

There are literally dozens of users on this forum who have made the switch to an LED bulb in their non LED trucks and are completely happy with the result.
The bottom line is that YOU are the only one who can decide whether it's for you or not. One thing's for sure - if you don't like them you'll be out a hell of a lot less money than some of the other options.
