I am so stoked that we were able to do this comparison video FINALLY! lol

I have a 2018 Raptor and about 3 months ago, I actually installed the Morimotos on my truck. I was quite disappointed in the light output compared to the stock LEDs. But especially that they are so focused and the cutoff line so sharp, there was not enough light "spill over" to accurately see on the sides of the truck and on road, street signs. I immediately took them off the next day as i felt stock was better. I ended up getting the AlphaRex Nova Midnight Series this past week and finally got them installed two days ago. I am thoroughly impressed with the AlphaRex output and i actually performed the Amber DRL mod which I like a lot better than the standard white (being a Raptor). Construction wise, they were about the same. I appreciate you guys making this video but the one that did it for me was the comparison you had with the Halogen vs LED vs AlphaRex. I could tell by the video that there was a substantial difference and by experiencing the Morimotos myself, the decision to go with AlphaRex was much easier.

Thanks for that honest real world offroading review it's a huge difference between street and off-road driving and you got the off-road driving down! I have spent too much on light to justify another grand on headlights but nice to know there are options. I would choose alpha Rex personally but I don't like that neither of them have an amber drl and that you have to fuse tap for the brigher drl and that for 1k headlights they can't include a led amber bulb but other than that they both seem like great options for those that don't already have fogs, light bars and hood mounted lights!

SERGIO ACEVEDO so the Morimotos you can get with Amber DRL planks. Alpharex is working on a Amber options as well. On the bulb I would have to agree. But it’s the nature of the business. Since they don’t make that bulb it has to be sourced externally, and it kills the costs of the overall lights.

Interestingly I purchased the Alpharex tail lights because Morimoto did not have one for me. I naturally thought Morimoto would win... so impressed with the light output on the Alpharex. Worth noting... the Morimotos sit perfectly on the Tundra and the light spray is perfect and no adjustments are needed.

No, the lights both have good cutoff lines. Properly tuned, they are just like normal lights. Improperly tuned and every single car is flashing you thinking you hi beams are on.

It is interesting to see an actual fair comparison of these. Headlight Revolution did a comparison of these model years and put the lux rating of morimoto at 1900 Lux and the Alpharex at 485 Lux. Which is clearly not the case, obviously their light measuring was off or intentionally skewed due to sponsorship deals. I have experience with morimotos products and I am not impressed with their Quality Assurance or engineering design principles. I have the X3B third brake lights and it is not well designed. They omit the center two bolts for plastic pins and it is damned near impossible to get a good seal with he truck because of the lack of the two center bolts. As a result I had to make my own gasket that would seal with the pressure of the two remaining bolts, but not leave it sitting way far away from the truck due to gasket pressure. The second morimoto product I have is their HXB 4banger fog lights. While the lights themselves are decent, you are definitely paying way too much for what you are getting. On top of that, the wiring harness I got with the lights had one of the sides wired in backwards so one light would not work. I had to push out the pins from the socket of the cable and switch them around to make it work on the dead side. This speaks volumes of their Quality Assurance which is WHY they have the 5 year warrantee to begin with, I believe. I have not tried Alpharex yet, but I just ordered their LUXX tail lights so we will see how the quality compares.

Would anyone know how these two company’s compare when it comes to 2011-2016 superduty’s? Been looking at the Morimoto XB Hybrid and the ones offered by Alpharex, and I can’t decide which to get since I can’t find anything the directly compares the two.

You probably should have finished the video then 🤷‍♂️. We are not hiding the fact that AlphaRex is sponsoring us. This video was also sponsored by Morimotos, they gave us a discount code to share because of how fair the review was. When we filmed this video, AX lights had only been out a year. Jury is still out on their reliability as we have not seen many report problems to us. Even still now a year later we have not gotten many reports of issues. Morimotos have been out a while and their issues are well documented and that’s why they have such a long warranty. In the video we do make some calls, Morimotos do win some comparisons and loose others. For us our focus is off-roading and the AX lights are the clear winners in my opinion. But many see it differently, specially for pavement use. Next time, finish the video and watch the footage. It really speaks for itself and you can make up your own mind.

Keep It Dirty Off-Road I think Alpharex is focusing on optic efficiency. Diode Dynamic has had a huge success because they use super efficient optics that fully utilize the leds. I think Alpharex and their cube projectors are doing something similar. I have a feeling for these headlights to be Road legal the LEDs they are using are not running at full capacity, I would like to see these headlights have like an offroad mode were you flash the highbeams a few times and the leds go as bright as they can. Morimoto do have a good warranty but I’ve been hearing a lot of issues with them. The loose projectors and even the sun reflecting off their projectors and burning the paint on the headlights. I’ve seen the Nova series Alpharex is doing for my 2012 F250 and I’m disappointed they are keeping the halogen bulb blinker in the middle of the headlight instead of adding two more projectors in its place. The C-Bar is more than bright enough to act as the main blinker.

I already had a suspicion on which would be better even before getting to the comparison part because I saw another video comparing AlphaRex and Morimoto, it was for a Ram. Anyways, your comparison proved my suspicions correct: based on what your camera picked up, the Morimotos are actually better. I know a lot of viewers are saying they'd go with the Alpharex but the way the Alphas focuses the light is the opposite of what you want. They're all foreground and you do NOT want bright foreground. It will hinder how far you can see in the distance at night, and it strains your eyes with so much light bouncing off the asphalt directly in front of your car. You can actually try this, when you're driving, use your hands to block the foreground from your line of sight, you'll notice that it is much more comfortable to look down the distance, although be careful since you are still driving after all. The Morimotos also have a more even, slightly wider spread and distance from the drone shots you provided, the AlphaRex was a giant bulbous foreground lighting that was, quite franky, jarring. When you compared the two on a wall, it was clear that the Morimotos had the ideal pattern. It has a more focused, brighter hot spots (better for distance) and a decent, bright band of light right under the cutoff which, again, limits foreground while providing just enough light on either side to light up the sides of the road. The AlphaRex, however, doesn't seem to have any discernable hot spot which is probably why the foreground is so bright. The high beam comparison actually shows that the Morimotos are better, not the Alphas. This, again, is because of foreground. My car came with factory H4 halogen reflectors and H4 bulbs have 2 filaments: a low beam filament with a shield to create a cutoff and an uncovered high beam filament for high beams. When you turn on the highs on an H4 setup, the low beam filament turns off and the high beam filament fires up and you'll notice how little light is focused on the ground. When you have high beams on, you want distance and height, and minimize foreground as much as possible. The drone shot of the high beams shows the Morimoto shining a bit further with not much more foreground than the lows. The Alphas basically doubled the foreground. The wall shot of the high beams again showed that the Morimoto has two distinct and intense hot spots above the cut off which is what you'll want. The Alphas, as said in the video, needs a bit of fine tuning but the hot spots seem to be all over the place, if there are any at all. I'm not hating on the Alphas but based on the few video comparisons I've seen between the two brands, the Morimoto is the superior product whereas the AlphaRex is notable in only two areas: a lower price tag, and the start up DRL sequence. Again, I'm not trying to sound negative but before anyone sees the comparisons and sees that the AlphaRex lights up the foreground much brighter and therefore think it's better, they need to understand that foreground is actually the enemy. You obviously do need some light shining on the road directly in front of you, but not to the extent that the AlphaRex provides, not even close to that.

You may be right but I think you missed a few points in the video. 1st. we did acknowledge that the Marimotos may be better for street driving and it support your comment. BUT, this channel and this video is all about off-Roading and how the lights will help us off-road. What works on the street does not work off-road. And for us, the AlphaRex are far better for an off-road truck on both scenarios. We need to see all that extra detail at the front of the truck, fill light is not as important because we have other lights for that. Our focus is on the terrain so that we can recognize and avoid obstacles That all being said, In my experience, I prefer the Alpha Rex. I can see everything better in both scenarios. For me it works best for both an on-road and off-road application.

While the Morimotos were slightly high, based on the wall comparison it was very minimal and did not impact our test much. In a few of the shots the lights pointed high gave them an edge. The goal of the video is to let the footage speak for itself and let those watching to make up their own mind. One of my High beams was way off and not doing anything and the one working was at the same level as the Morimotos and AlphaRex was still brighter than the Morimotos on the lake bed high beam test. If your leaning towards the Morimotos and you don’t offroad you will see they do better for road applications.

I would recommend the AX Just based on the DRL planks and easier adjustments. The AX planks are the full plank for the turn signal. Adjustment is also easy from the top. Morimotos has an individual adjustment for each pod. Very inefficient and requires taking out the lights and removing the liner just to tune them. Finally, light out out will be more with the AX lights. For the 18, it’s a 4 pod solution and provides similar light output. Only benefit to the Morimotos is the warranty. That’s it

Rather have the one you don't have to keep pulling the front end apart all the time.

From what I understand, the AlphaRex headlights have a factory-like adjustment system. There's one easy to access screw at the top that adjusts the low and high beams simultaneously. I believe the Morimoto's have separate adjusters for high and low beams, but from what I've heard, the high beam adjusters are a pain in the ass to access, and may require the headlight assembly to be removed for adjustment. That is something I definitely would not be interested in. I'll take the AlphaRex over the Morimoto's. Both of these headlights are going to offer a vast improvement over stock halogens, but there's no way in hell I'm interested in dicking around with 4 individual adjusters. Over-engineering on Morimoto's part. AlphaRex has it right with keeping the adjustments simple.

These are not Jeeps, and are pretty much never used in that capacity because they are not made for it, therefore *excessive* close in light is useless and only serves to flood your vision. Your eye focuses on the closest brightest object naturally. Most people do not have aux lights at all, and so the headlights themselves have to stand on their own two legs with no help from anything else. Thanks for the reply though, not often people get back to you. Also, it'll be a few months down the road before I get parts on since I *just* picked up an '18 F150 (Haven't even taken delivery yet, which is why I am looking at comparisons) but if your within a reasonable driving distance I don't pavement princess any of my stuff if you want a real comparison once it has them on. If you want to speed up the process i've got an entry level rally car with $27K in solely go-fast parts i'll sell you to fund the 150 build.

@@droolguy I’ve always found you need both. Shoot far from high abode and close up and to the sides fro bumper height or lower to really get the right contrasts and shadows on the road to know what’s coming at high speed. Just having one did not help me run fast at night. I used to have KC floods on the front and that helped because the stock LEDs had next to no light output. But since switching to the AX lights, I haven’t needed them. And they worked out great. Rally cars look fun, but they can only realistically run on fire roads. I need something more versatile. Let me know when the f150 is ready with Morimotos and let’s do a proper side by side comparison

Alpharex looks better on the 18-20’s.

Morimoto is destroyed in this video. Lmao

Tests are irreverent. Both sets were not aimed properly so the dispersion of light wasn't constant between both lights. Why wouldn't you aim both lights before making the video? Make it a fair video instead of making a pointless click bate video. And having a lux meter is important information for your followers, not misaligned lights shining at the ground and in the sky. And in my opinion the Rex's highbeans have a shit pattern.

lol. 🤷‍♂️. Morimoto & Alpha Rex were both good with the video. So much so, Morimotos gave us a discount code and then rushed the next version of their lights after this video came out. AX low beams were aimed correctly. If you know anything about the Morimotos' you know how difficult they are to aim. Basically you need to take the light out to access all 4 adjustment for each light. Adjusting the morimotos was not an option in the field. And the owner was OK with his the light output and had no problems on the road. As for a Lux meter, I and my audience don't really care about that. that's just a number that means nothing. We are more concerned with practical applications. How does it look in the real world and not a garage. The footage speaks for itself. Morimotos were better in some areas. AX we're better in others. The rest, make up your own mind based on the information presented. Nothing was hidden here and there is no click bait.

@@tboysen00 the XB are supposed to be much brighter. Looking for someone to do a comparison.

Morimotos have better wide view as opposed to Alphas.
