Beamtech LEDs

I have a 2018 F-350 XLT Premium 4X4 CCSB 6.2 with 4.30 gears and want to up grade my Halogen headlights and fog lights with Beamtech LEDs which model (part number) are you guys using for the best results and where did you find the best deal on them? And how much of a up grade are these bulbs? Thanks

After dealing with LASFIT and MORIMOTO, they all flicker (even with anti flicker decoders) they all turned out to be JUNK !

Will be ordering the beamtechs myself in the spring

I believe they are J1. Just check Amazon. H13 for headlights & the fogs for mine were H10. They work great. Beamtech people also have a new LED bulb named Techmax, I used it on another vehicle and they work perfectly too.

Someone else had posted that they liked the Techmax. I thought I'd bookmarked them in case I ever had Beamtech problems but I apparently did not. I'd never heard that Techmax and Beamtech were connected.
​​​​​​​At any rate both brands have higher lumen rated bulbs than when I bought mine just before Christmas 2017.

Zero issues with any beamtech I've bought. The truck, Hyundai, Jeep and even the Harley. No flicker no nothing. Going on 3 years and 50k on the Hyundai. No issues.

I got these Beamtech for the headlights:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHCQ8KY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHCQ8KY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and these for the fog lights"
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BDBZW3E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BDBZW3E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The Beamtech headlights messed with the radio reception the fogs did not. I contacted Beamtech through Amazon and they sent me "decoders" or whatever you call them. The radio reception is 95% of stock (not perfect but good enough). If I was to change headlights I would look for one that don't mess with the radio and are also fanless.

Light output is greatly improved. I have been flashed a few times only when it's rainy/foggy. The fog lights might be the reason for the flashing, tough to say since it have not happened on a couple of days and I have had them a month and a half.

On a 6.2 you can change the headlight and fog bulbs with only removing the little air duct on the passenger side (one plastic rivet and a couple of clips). No need to remove the grill and/or headlight housings.

Yeah I've had my beamtechs for a while n no issues with the radio or anything else.. Just like the 6.2, you don't have to remove the grill for the diesel either. Just the washer spout n the air intake

I just installed TechMax H13 headlight bulbs and 9140 fog light bulbs on my 2019 F-250 Lariat Sport. Once I oriented the headlights correctly (LEDs must be at three o'clock and nine o'clock) they work great! Huge difference and no flickering at all. Good light dispersion and quite bright! Purchased mine from Amazon.com - I gave them five stars.

I too went with the TechMax. See chart on first post. But I would suggest which ever you decide to order, get the ferrite filters and pre-install them on the harnesses. Some trcuks have radio issues, some don't. But for the $8, save some worries and headaches.

The Beamtech bulbs I have gotten do not have resistors. But if needed, they will send them to you for free.
The techmax bulbs I ordered DID come with built in resistors.
if that helps....
