Not all LED replacement bulbs are created equal as many have indicated. I ran across this site while researching for my 2018: http://bulbfacts.com/led-kits/chart/
Note that the chart has a column for reflector low beam pattern. I plan to upgrade mine in the near future and will use the above site as a guide. I had LEDs in my 2012 for 4 years (can't remember the brand). The cutoff was excellent and I never once got flashed.

Random question...
i recently replaced my tail light bulbs with red led lights. They work great except....
My arrows on the dash blink very quick like they’re is a burnt out bulb but yet they are flashing normal. What’s that all about? Lol

LEDs use much less current so your truck thinks the bulb is burnt out or about to burn out. You can fix via a in-line resistor or Forescan (I think). Someone else would need to comment on the Forescan solution as I've only heard it can be done.

Thanks bud. Reading up on them now. Looks like I need a resistor or a flasher. Anyone have experience on these?

You're going to have to do the Forskin way. Resistors work, but do it the right way. And if you insist on the resistors, do those right as well by soldering connections instead of the scotchlok crap.
