Beamtechs

Installed Hikari in my 2019 F250. Lower passenger side bulb is flickering. Working on a solution but not solved yet. Those with Beamtech did you have a flicker problem on the headlights (not turn signals, back up etc.)

I have only had mine installed for 6 months, but they have been flawless. No scatter either.

I was about the first with Beamtech and started the long thread that begin in December 2017. I used them from 12/17 until 10/20 in both a 2017 and a 2019. Still have them sitting in reserve in case I have a similar bad experience as the OP with the Hikari's that I put in my 2020. But never had a minute's trouble with the Beamtech in all that time.
I currently have an issue with the lower half of the passenger side headlight housing remaining fogged up. But I don't attribute it to the bulbs because the other 3 sectors don't have the issue. Emailed a pic and description of the problem to my dealer's service manager a couple of days ago because it's about 60 miles from home. No reply yet.

I have Beamtech's on my car and I like them except for the fact that they cause static on my radio. Anyone experience that with Beamtech's on a Super Duty?

Beamtechs have been flawless for me, for roughly 3 years.

Very subtle occasional flickering with my Beamtech bulbs. It's so subtle that I only catch a glimpse here and there. On a side note, the bright mode are hardly better than the low beams.

Did you use the seal from the factory halogen bulb, supposedly its much better than the seal on the aftermarket leds. I swapped them when I did the led change. I went with Sealights as the reviews were pretty good and they had a sale, all of these led designs look about the same to me.

I looked at the factory bulbs yesterday. Pretty sure they still have the factory seals on them, so I guess I used the gaskets that came on the Hikaris.

I'll agree here, My low beam pattern is better than the high beam. the high beam seems to scatter light everywhere.
