I also have a dual battery 7.3.
I had Beamtech bulbs in a 2017 & 2019 but I went with Hikari for my 2020. Improvement for sure. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Just put the Hikari 2021 Acme-X LED bulbs in mine last night - OMG they are bright, but have a good pattern for using stock halogen housings. Curious how they compare with factory LED, when i find someone with them i will post it. Checked the lighting level 12' away - stock halogen vs Hikari LED using an app on my phone. Low beam stock 1,546 lux, LED 4,592 lux; high beam stock 2,026 lux, LED 7,508 lux. Just saw Amazon has them 15% off right now, missed that deal on Saturday. I hope I didn't put too much lighting in it and get continuously flashed at... They advertise up to 4 times brighter, i believe it. Hikari has 9,800; 10,000, 12,000 ant the Acme-X are 15,000 lumen

I was very happy with mine also. Just make sure you adjust them down a little bit to avoid blinding others. You'll still have 10 times the light of factory halogens.
Headlight Revolution has a good YouTube video on making adjustments. Unfortunately I forgot to bookmark it so I don't have the link right now.

I stumbled across the HR adjustment video, very easy.

For the person asking if all 4 bulbs are H13, yes they are. Your inbox is full and will not accept any more messages.

I have an 2017 f350 xlt 6.2. I put some Beamtech LED bulbs in a few months ago. Very happy with them, nice bright white light. Haven’t been flashed by one coming traffic at all. These bulbs do have a set screw so you can orientate the filament correctly. I didn’t need to. Install was easy. I did have to remove the air intake on the pass side.
