New Headlights, retrofit time (Switched to Alpharex)

No unfortunately, and the right does this weird thing where in DTRL mode its like stuck in between high and low beam. Its super weird. I need to get a video.
The left one is working flawlessly though.

 

There are a tooon of aftermarket lights for the 4th gen that are sub 300 bucks to get ya back to at least stock brightness.

I feel ya though, 680 was a kick in the stomach for some lights haha

 

I'm not an expert but Kustom54, one needs to disable the drl(cut the fuse clip out) due to not playing well with the mori's. If you want drl he sells a lighting strip or you can add one to the hole where the highbeam goes.

 

Interesting. I'll have to look into this.

 

Got the Alpharex's installed today



Had to get rid of the morimoto retrofits. The light output was great, but other functionality was lacking. Not to mention the left headlights inability to focus which i think was a manufacturing defect.

At any rate these Alpharex's are awesome so far. My only dig is the DTRL eye brow gets washed out in the sun. No big deal but just a nit pick.

 

Which model Alpharex's? I really like the look of these and they seem to check the most boxes/$.

 

These are the mid tier ($750) Alpharex Luxx. The Luxx have internal LED's so its completely plug and play. The models are broken down below.

Pro (Mid $400's) Come with halogen bulbs but you can add your own HID's or LED's. Similar to OEM.

Luxx (Mid 700's) Internal LED's, you cannot change the bulbs.

Nova (Around $1100) Ice cube style LED projectors, you cannot change the bulbs.

 

I went with the Alpharex Pro lights, switched to LED bulbs - love them - check out TRDJOHN on Youtube, he has a few videos of them

 

I just bought the Luxx's.

 

You're going to be very happy with them.



Pictures don't do it justice but they have a very wide pattern and the cutoff is laser sharp. They aren't as bright as a 55w HID but there is zero glare.

 

Was it a direct swap or was there any mods needed? Night shots would be awesome! I believe TRD John has the Luxx not the pro. The lux come with LED lights and the pro does not.

 

Have to be way better than the stock halogens.

 

That is 100% fact. These blow the OEM halogens out of the water. I'll stick by that there are brighter options out there, but these are 100% plug and play, no splicing, and DOT legal.

 

Sorry I was referring to @jmc22 if when he swapped out the stock halogen to LED if any mods were needed.

 

Ope haha no worries

 

Alpha Rex are nice . I got some last week myself, Nova’s.

 

That is important to me.
