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

Jesus Christ some of you need to learn how to take these stupid arguments to private message. If it isn't worth the effort, then it sure isn't worth posting publicly and spamming otherwise helpful threads.

I've got an order in for their Nova series coming out in a few weeks and will do a full comparison/rundown. In the meantime I like what I'm seeing from those getting the pros, especially for the price.

Ok children. Keep it civil or just move on.

I ordered the Pros, then got a wild hair and used the discount code to order the Novas. I'll either return the Pros or sell them when they arrive Sunday.

So I'm installing the pros right now.

One important note: better make sure whatever bulb you're running is clocked right. Once the headlight is in there is no room to reclock or change the bulb.

Bulb change = take off entire front bumper lol. Guess I'll have to keep a 10mm in the vehicle at all times.

Cool, did you grab before pics?
Also bumper comes off in minutes once you get the hang of it!

Wait... to change a bulb, you need to take light out, ie: take bumper off? Thats insane.

Yeah, it was already tight with the stock headlights, but with these the dust cap is inches from the body.

Charles, did you mean to say “Pro”? In your title? You said Nova. Anyways, so you put in 4300 hid in the lows? What brand bulbs and 35 or 55 watt ballast??Left halogen h7 in highs? Thanks. What do you think of them vs stock?

Dangit good catch gotta go edit it.

I got these the Innovited 55w kit in 4300k off Amazon.

The high beams are halogen but I didnt take any pictures. The high beams are weak. Not even worth a picture. I may put some LEDs in them.

I love them compared to stock. The only things I miss are the high beams on the stock headlights.

I had the factory h11 bulbs.

 

[michalik.piotr6837]

They look good, thanks for the effort and review. Looking forward to seeing others compare them to OEM with HID.

Brand new to the forum and trying to get a crash-course in the 4runner platform and headlight options.

Can someone explain to a complete novice what the difference between the Pros and the Novas is?

Welcome to the forum!

It looks like the Nova series has 4 projectors rather than the pro series has 2 projectors.

Pro-Traditional 2 projector system(One for low beam one for high beam)

Nova- 3 projectors used for low beam and 1 used for high beam.

In addition.

Pro comes with H7 halogens which is the bulb Alpharex got them DOT approved with. You have the option of using whatever H7 based bulb (LED, HID) you want but will lose DOT compliance. Price: $450-490.

Nova comes with sealed LEDs and are not serviceable by the customers. Output is probably better. Price: $1000
