Aftermarket LED Bulbs

[DaltonGang]

I am contemplating getting some Beamtech H13 LED bulbs. From what I've read, they are adjustable. They make some with a cooling fan, and some.without the fan.
Here is the one I am contemplating.

Questions being:
Just how noisy are the little fans?
Are there drawbacks to the ones with only a Heatsink?
How about longevity?

In my research I read stories about the Beamtech fan versions having a high-pitched fan noise being heard in the cabin, interference with the radio and mostly the fans just quit working.

I choose a different brand, but purposely choose a fanless version.

Good luck in whatever you choose.

I have these h13 bulbs in my f150 without the fans and they interfere with the radio. I've considered popping popping them out and installing in the jeep to see if they interfere with that radio too.

I believe there are Canbus resistors that will cure this. There are many manufacturers. Here is just one, as an example.

OH NICE, I was looking for something like this to fix the problem but didn't quite know what to search for. Thank you!

I put these in a 2019 and 2021 and no issues. They are much better than the halogens. When I bought the they were about $32 a pair.

I bought these ones almost 4 years ago.. and they still work as intended.. and I drive with my headlights always on !! .. one more note.. these bulbs are fanless.. I don't like the idea of LED bulbs with fans because when the fans fail.. then the bulb overheats..

I just installed these last week and no problems thus far. They are so much better than factory halogens.

Thanks for the link!! I just installed the beamtech h13 bulbs with fans (didn't realize I was getting the fan bulbs), and lost radio reception. Ordering these now!

I don't know if it will restore radio functions, but they are supposed to cure the flickering of the LED's and some radio noises they cause.
Let us know what happens.

I have the fanless beamtech as well since 2019. No issues, pretty bright. They are bit more "cool
" or blue than I might prefer though.

 

[DaltonGang]

It seems the ones with the fans have issues, and the correction, with the resistors open up another potential can of worms.
