Huge difference ocwill. The Beamtechs made a big difference too over halogens.

racedeck flooring and I love it.. www.bigfloors.com has a good selection. they have racedeck, garage deck, and garage trac all compatible with each other. i just ordered garagedeck replacement for the flow through that I have around the edge of the parking spots, the flowthrough hurt my feet when barefoot...

I went with the Headlight Revolution V.4s in the headlights and driving lights. Huge improvement. The headlights do need to be adjusted"down" after install though.

I’ve had the same experience with Beamtech. If you don’t adjust them, low is hi and hi is in the trees.

Ignore the LED swap doomsayers.
Considering I couldn't friggin' see on the long drive home from the dealership, I'm good for now. I'm surprised someone hasn't sued Ford over the stock halogen headlights. I get more light output from my '80s Foxbody Mustangs.

I also looked at the posts before buying and really compared the beam patterns at different distances before I drove it anywhere.

Thanks again for the replies
I was the first from this forum to install them to the best of my knowledge and started the original thread cited earlier. That was in December 2017. I used them in that truck until I traded it in September 2019. I kept the bulbs and put them in my then new 2019. Still in use. Still no issues.
I see the usual naysayers are out with their snide comments. Whatever. Life's too short to argue with internet strangers. They should be more concerned about the idiots with 4 foot LED light bars in their grill that use them on road.
I got great results for low cash outlay and have very seldom been flashed in over 2 years. If you install them check your height adjustment. I found that mine were set as high as they would go from when the truck was brand new on my 2017 and had to adjust them downward. In the end it's your truck and your money. Spend it as you like.

I have the GTR Ultra 2's with the PWM modules.

I think this was happening all along I just happened to noticed when parked in front of some glass windows where I could see the lamps in the reflection of the glass.
Talked with GTR - replace the lamp and the PWM - still doing it.
I removed them tonight and put the halogens back. Would hope there are no issues with your setup given the cost for a set.

Same questions for Beamtech users too

I hate the Halogens - they are sooooo bad.

Never noticed any flickering with Beamtech or the Morimotos. Daytime running lamps [ ] are now on an upfitter switch so they can be controlled separate. Good question on the auto high beam which I didn't care for to begin with. May have turned that off before the install.

They look great.

Put the fogs in after. Took about 3 minutes.
I just got a full set of BeamTechs and a quick look at the location of the lights made me think this was gonna a little more work than first thought.
Fogs are easy-peasy, no issues; the passenger side seems accessible but is there a "trick" to releasing the OEM lights? Push in and rotate, rotate left/right or get a freekin hammer? And the Drivers side looks pretty cramped spaces; 30 min to me sounds pretty awesome so please give up the secrets to a :30 install they would be greatly appreciated.
(FWIW it was 104F so I did not spend too much time roasting in the sun...)

I think I might try these out when I get my truck:

BulbFacts ranked them at the top of high-end led bulbs.

I had to use a rag to protect the bulb ends and a pair of pliers - they were in really tight. Also I've did the access both ways through the top removing the air tube and removing the grill. In my opinion the grill route is easier.

Here are a couple of videos.

I keep seeing videos of guys pulling out their entire headlight assemblies to change their bulbs, until I seen this guy's video:


I know removing your grill and headlights isn't a huge deal, but it seems like this method is lot simpler.
