Wonder if I should lower the angle on my factory ones. Just bought my 2023 pro…I keep getting flashed. But, that will also amplify my irritation with the LED’s. You see where the beam is pointed…and then total blackness beyond. Can make driving tricky when something just pops into your lights. Not all situations… Does this drive anyone else insane? Is it just me? Another thing…if you are going to give me that crisp light between light and darkness, make it a smooth line. FYI- I know these are lightweight “issues”. Def 1st world problem.

Love the CaliRaised bumper, just wish i had a bull bar.

it’d be nice to get an aftermarket headlight that is 100% plug and play with the 4runner OEM headlight harness. the stock lights have DRL’s without extra wiring, so why can’t any of these companies make the aftermarket light’s work with toyota’s OEM harness so there’s no extra wiring for the DRL’s.

Hey, no worries I’m always happy to make videos for you guys! I’m not sure if there is wiring inside of the headlight that you can ask Alpharex about to disable the sequential portion. I think that 2022+ there is just an adapter that is required, because those lights are a little bit different than the previous year models.

@TRDJon

Жыл бұрын

The OEM on the 4R is really good, i'd do these if you want better looking lights for sure

Morimotos are the best design and performance for the 4Runner hands down. I have the gen 2’s with the amber drl. They are absolutely AMAZINGGGGGG!!! The amber drls and amber on the outside when the headlights are also on are an absolute game changer. They just look so good and aggressive with the amber strip going all the way around. And it’s not the weak drl most companies have where you can barely tell they are on like alpha rex headlights with the drl, or at least their older model now but the morimotos leds shine super bright during the brightest. I can literally use my amber drl light only as a headlight if I really needed to loll. It still lights up the road at night a little bit. Also swapped out the stock tail lights for morimoto XB taillights and also got morimoto xb fog lights, all three morimoto xb headlights taillights and fog lights have been the best upgrade I’ve made. I like the morimoto design better than these new alpharex with the drl going all the way around for the morimotos compared to these. These are Def better than the older ones tho but don’t like how the drls don’t go all the way around and that they cut off towards the bottom and looks awkward. Not horrible but not as clean as morimotos. It’s just a weird design imo and maybe they wanted to differentiate from the morimotos but don’t really like that design aspect personally but the actual main headlight output and brightness seem very good and look just as bright as the morimotos. The drls/signals and design is where morimoto takes the cake over the rest of the plug and play led lights for the 4Runner. I like how the brights turn the drl outer strip to white tho. That’s a cool design feature.

@TRDJon

Жыл бұрын

To me the design is exactly to how the OEM ones are from the 4R. The chrome is essentially replaced by the DRL feature on these. Maybe one day I'll be in a 4R at night with morimoto lights to compare, but right now there suckers are bright! I personally don't care for how the morimotos DRL looks. It's like an unstraight line imo. But I hear nothing but good about them, at least their second gen ones.

Less than three months ago, I installed the Alpharex Luxx headlights in jet black on my 2016 Limited. Unfortunately, the passenger side low beam has already stopped working. I checked the fuse and wiring connections, and they appear to be in good condition. After reaching out to Alpharex, they informed me that I must replace the entire headlight assembly. They also told me that since I purchased these headlights through a third-party vendor, I'm required to navigate the warranty process through that third party. I've recently been in contact with the website from which I ordered the headlights, and they are reaching out to Alpharex on my behalf. At this point t feels like I'm going in circles, and the process is taking much longer than I had hoped for a resolution. I'm contemplating removing the Alpharex Luxx headlights and reinstalling my original ones. Despite this experience, I must acknowledge that I was pleased with their performance and appearance, except for the unfortunate failure issue. Perhaps I simply received a defective assembly, and others might have a more positive experience.
