As far as performance, I believe the Morimotos are rated above the OEMs and Anzos.

Regarding installation, OEMs will require new wiring harnesses and are a bit more involved. Morimotos and Anzos are plug and play. So if you plan to do it yourself, consider this as well.
Looking to do bulbs only.......on a cheap budget.

Go with Beamtech fanless bulbs. I have run them on 3 different trucks. On my 2016 I just swapped the fogs since everything else was led already.

So H11 in the low beams
9005 in the high beams and fog lights

How do the Techmax Minis fit with the dust caps? It looks like you'll be able to reinstall the dust caps with them since they don't have an external driver box.
Amazon is saying 1 month for delivery, but I'm hoping that is just to cover their ***** with the current situation.

I used extended dust covers for the low beams.

Yes and I had extended boots and used them "just in case". Not sure if they were needed or not.

I am using GTR Ultra 2 for low beams and GTR CSP mini for fogs. The are bright AF. Bought from Headlight Revolution, they are pricey, but they also have a lifetime warranty. Verified by HR to be 400% brighter than stock halogen. I turned off my auto high beams because I still have halogen in the highs and the fog lights do a better job lighting the road.

Thumbs up to the Rubber dust cover extensions, 83mm. The 18+ low beam bulb is really close to the OEM dust covers, so an LED bulb with the heat sink needs more room. And they are cheap on Amazon.

I had a set of Crystalux bulbs in my 17 ANZOs and they burned out in less than a year, they replaced 1 the first time under warranty, then burned out again in 3 months. The projector fogs the electrical pins corroded off. was about to put everything in a box and ship the them with a note saying “your product is hot garbage”
