Is this a canbus adapter?

no, that’s the led driver.

I have the H13 Glowteck LED kit. I had to replace 2 bulbs in the 2 years that I've had them, but the new kits are a LOT better than the originals. You do not need the canbus adapter if you do the Bambi mod. It takes 5 minutes to do, look it up on YouTube. I also hear a lot of good reviews on Hikari ULTRA. Honestly, not knocking 4x4truckleds, they're just too $$$ for me. Also, Glowrteck's customer service is A++.

I contacted Glowteck and asked if I needed adapters. They said I may need a set of resistor cables, so they're sending me a set.

650,
Other than the Bambi mod, did you have to install anything else for the headlights to work properly? I'm wondering why Glowteck support says I need resistors. Do you think the resistors correct the same issue the bambi mod addresses?
I googled '2008 F150 LED headlight resistors' and read a bunch of links. I don't see any real evidence where 04-08 owners run resistors or canbus adapters. Maybe it's because the bambi mod solves the only real issue with LEDs in that year group?

Hey all, I just wanted to put my two cents in for the BeamTech LEDs . Bought two off Amazon for 40 bucks. . plugs right in with no mods and works Much brighter and as best i can tell, while they are bright I don't have anyone flashing their headlights at me so it doesn't seem they are over bright or aimed wrong.

Cheap cheap solution for me.

Oh these went into a completely stock 2006 F150 King Ranch 4WD

Nice. I put the fogs in too. Might explain why I had to get an adapter

My LED bulbs have the cutoff shrouds. How do you orient them in the housing? Like a clock position? They came with an Allen key to adjust them.

NVM. Found 2 references that day the shield sits below the diode.

Glowteck headlights and Alla fogs are in. Bambi mod and no resistors needed. Pretty pleased with the results so far.
