I used Headlight Revolution and did both High and Low beam bulbs... they even ship two PWM modules for the upper bulbs to stop any possibility of flickering! I love them so far, they've been working awesome and installed very smoothly!!! Just a bit pricey for some folks!
I installed Beamtech high, lows and fogs. They have been on for almost a year with no issues. The light is white not blue. Easy install, just be patient.
I also replaced with Beamtech headlight and Alla's for the fog lights and it's a very noticeable improvement. I do get the occasional flash from other drivers, usually only when it's raining. The Beamtech's did mess with the radio reception and caused interference, but once i contacted Beamtech they sent out a canbus adapter that is installed inline with the headlight bulbs and that eliminated most of the reception and interference issues (like 98%, i think reception is slightly worse still than without he LEDs but the bulbs are well worth it still)
For the sake of oncoming traffic, don't do it. Especially if you plan on leveling your truck. Yes, they are an improvement over the factory halogens (so is a Mag-Light), we have an F-550 so I have some first hand experience, but they are like big flood lights. Get the proper housings designed for LED's if you go that way. Thank you in advance from the people you share the road with.

MY HR's have a nice, flat cut-off and are designed really well (maybe that's why they're pricey) - I have not been flashed by oncoming traffic with my low beams on ONCE yet since they've been installed! ??? 2019 F-450 XLT dually...
The OEM LED housing appears to utilize a reflector like the halogen housing. Does anyone have a closeup of the geometric differences between the OEM LED and non-LED housing, besides the [ ] trim?

I don't have both for comparison but I took a close-up shot of my XLT Halogen that I put the HR LED bulbs in for you! (I assumed you did not want the light on so you could see what the reflector looked like?)
With the light on, it would just overdrive the camera chip from this close!

Thank you for the pic. Just need one of the OEM LED housing up close for comparison now.
If you adjust the headlights correctly after installing the new bulbs, you’ll be fine.
When I first put Beamtechs in a 2017, I went to adjust the lights downward as I was going to be hauling a trailer load of motorcycles, tools, luggage, etc. on vacation. Turned out that they were adjusted as high up as they could go right from the factory.
I kept the bulbs and installed them in my 2019. No level. Actually a little front downward rake from factory so I have yet to adjust the bulbs.
