New headlights on the market..... look cool, FYI

[Moses_J]

Looks like the pictures some took have a LED bar below the headlight? Does it come with this? Is it separate?

No. Aiden James Customs offers that. It's his personal 4Runner he's got the headlights in so they're already installed.

 

[Moses_J]

These don't look bad at all. The original pictures don't do them any justice.

Yeah I don't understand why everyone got so uptight over it. If they have some type of sale or I'll try them them out for $450 paired with some Vleds or GTR Ultra 2s.

[MENTION=411635]Sundy[/MENTION], no worries bruh. [MENTION=438805]gSwift[/MENTION] and especially @98txrunner = trolls. @tuco, lol.... spot on.

Calling people out on forums just like real life, don’t run your mouth if you don’t know what you’re talking about. Don’t be scared, you won’t see me at your next overland rally discussing how long your refrigerator keeps your fudge sickles cold.

I'm definitely feeling the blacked out ones on the bottom right. I've been looking for something aftermarket wise for headlights, and I like these. Morimotos are a bit too rich for my taste. I'm not familiar with Alpharex, does anyone here know their reputation for quality?

Just did a quick search. Ford forum not alot of press. One guy had an issue relating to Ford's canbus or whatever they use, wouldn't apply to a runner(I think)
Here's a face book page with stuff.

Best looking pic I could find is this one. Not talking about the lights either

So are you stomping your feet and yelling at the computer screen? LMAO! Talk about a temper tantrum. Don't forget to stroke Tuco's hair when you're cuddling.

Would like to see a video of the sequential turn signal feature on the LED tube bar thing.

If this link works there's a really good indoor video posted in the comments. They're slick!

Finally I may be able to see better at night. Ordered me some Pros. Going to test them with the stock halogens that come with them first then maybe HID if I'm not satisfied.

Anything has got to be better than the stock headlights!

I saw some videos and pics of the pros outputs online and they aren't too shabby.

Thanks OP for sharing. Would have never known about these.

[MENTION=4662]Charles[/MENTION], can’t wait for you to report back and post some pics. Maybe try LED bulbs before HID? Thanks.

I may need to avoid LED due to my climate. I will at times need the headlights to melt a ton of snow from the occasional blizzards we get in Minnesota.

I'll try the halogens first then maybe HID.

A pic of the cutoffs of the Alpharex pros with LEDs from Aiden James Customs facebook.

Very nice and well designed projectors.

Nice cutoffs with no significant glare.

I put performance before looks so the looks of the headlights dont bother me much. Still I went for the all blacks.

 

[michalik.piotr6837]

Clean, want to see one on a street to see hot and dark spots, distance, spread, etc.... looks good tho so far. Not sure how much hotter HIDs run.... again, thanks for posting and looking toward to your review.

Biggest question is... do these have a wider beam pattern than the other headlight offering?

Some night output comparison shots comparing OEM and these would be great

The limited amount of pictures I've seen, the beam pattern doesn't appear to be much better at the sides. There are still dark areas laterally which I would have hoped they would have learned to avoid based on feedback from Morimoto XB owners. There doesn't appear to be hot spots which is an improvement.

Edit: I also want to add that the main guy pushing these lights in the FB groups seem to be always posting daytime shots with no night time pictures showing the performance and beam pattern. You'd think that, for marketing headlights, night time shots would be one of the main things posted after someone asks about it multiple times. But what do I know?

Here's a guy who bought them as soon as they were released in his IG highlights it includes a short video of him driving at night.

Yeah, that's exactly the issue I have with the stock projectors...light output to the sides. It's not a matter of how far down the road they get but peripheral illumination on desert roads without street lights...like the ones I drive daily to get in and out of my place.

The one or two nighttime pics I've seen don't show anything significantly better in that regard, at least not for the cheap projector version. I don't think I've seen any with the all LED multi-light model.

Only way to get units sold is post some more thorough pictures to include multiple night shots.

I’d absolutely be in for a group buy pending more pics/info

This photo from AJ Customs facebook shows what you guys are talking about.

I wonder how much more wider they would have gone without the buildings in the way.

Guess I'll have to do my own review once I get them.

Thinking about running Diode Dynamics H7 HID kit. I have their SS3 fog pods and the build quality is top notch.
