We're referring to noise suppression filters/chokes. I needed to add them to my TechMaxes for FM reception concerns.

I too went with the Techmax for my headlights and Beamtec for the fogs. Their light output is awesome but even with ferrite chokes, they killed my FM reception.

On a side note, I just put in Beamtech's in my 2017 F250 ( I had Headlight Experts H13's in for about a1.5 years).
The reason I changed was (thanks to everyone here for your knowledge) Radio interference w/ lights on. New install a day ago
So now I just came back from the car wash, And I have condensation in the lower Left Headlight. Never had this before with other Bulbs factory or 1st set of LED's.
Yes Bulbs are in as far as you can turn them clockwise, Led's are clocked 3&9. Top of that housing clear, same as the right housing, no moisture.
Anyone else experience this? if so what did you find? Bulb's are J1 fanless

I have some "fogging" in my lower headlights, but it seems to be decreasing since I installed the bulbs back around Christmas. I couldn't rotate my bulbs until they stopped - if I did I passed the three and nine o'clock orientation, which is essential in my truck ('19 F-250) - I had to turn them back a couple-three degrees, but they felt pretty well seated. Time will tell...

Not sure if this makes a difference but I believe most beamtech users got these n not the ones you got. I've have these on my 19 f350 for a yr n no issues at all

Rockinfigs: I hear Ya, But 2 things that puzzle me: 1) Three out if the four Have not caused a issue, only the bottom left has moisture. 2) H13 Bulbs are a standard base to fit H13 housings.
And Headlight Expert Bulbs H13's didn't cause this issue, the one's I just took out. They just had there own problems, Poor light pattern & radio interference.
I hope I didn't cause a problem with the housing ???

I bought fanless and have moisture in both lenses, took them out for the time being. Showed the service manager, he blamed it on my plow but this happened during the summer. I'm sure it was the laser carwash. Next spring I'll be looking for a new pair of lens and I'll probably go with another bulb manufacturer with 6000k color.

WOW, Thanks AdirondEX, That helps me believe that they are probably are the Issiue.
Like I said in other post I had other Bulbs in there with no condensation just 2 days ago, But I had lousy beam pattern & No radio reception.

I don't think u damaged or caused problems to your housing. It might be simple as the bulb not seating tight. Try re installing the bulb or try switching the bulb with the other side n see if the other side does the same

Another thought might be to try the red gaskets that came with the original bulbs. Maybe they're slightly thicker/better.

Yep. We woke up to 2 degrees or so this morning. It's why I'm not heading right out to the garage yet to install my new swing away tool box!

LOL yep, my Raptor steering wheel just arrived and it might be a little while before it goes in. Same as me holding off on Beamtech install.
Northeast winters not helping new truck mods....
