Anyone Try the new Anzo Headlights?

My $400 bank account balance laughs in my face.

bro... you're rich. You should probably not broadcast your wealth here. Lots of people are going to try and sell you on new truck parts.

My only hesitation with these kinds of lights .... what happens when one part of the LED goes dead? Then you just replace the entire light? At least with something like https://bityl.co/Nzbz I can replace bulbs.

I had the Morimoto XB LED headlights and loved them…these are a cool look as well. I think the “extra signal” feature is a little much, the flashing sequential amber bar is plenty to let people know you are turning.

He really glazes over the whole “two more bolts you will have to reach underneath” part of removing the fascia lol. I pulled the front off so many times it became easy, but the first couple of times it can be tricky.

That fascia is a bitch to get off. All of the torx bolts are locktighted on and with my hidden winch mount down there, getting access to them is a nightmare. Lots of cussing last time I messed with that thing.

Yeah, and it says there made specifically for the XLT w/o LEDs.

They only list XL & XLT, but I'm sure the 2022-2023 Lariat w/halogen are included as well.

If they would offer that light without that side reflector I would get a set. But I think having the OE side reflector and that one would look awful. I've asked them for that light with just a black heatsink looking block in place of the reflector and they just incorrectly state they have to include it for legal reasons. I guess they think every Ranger is illegal with their OE lights.

they do have to include it for legal reasons, other wise they wouldnt be SAE and DOT compliant.

That's fair - https://bityl.co/O0ir is another option

What's the warranty?

LED headlights are a big outlay and as far as I know the Morimotos have the best warranty by far at 5 years.

They cost a bit more but not excessively so.

Searching for warranty on their site returned no results.

Wrong, those requirements apply to when installed on the vehicle, because the Ranger has the reflector/side mark on the wheel well trim it is not required on the light housing, other wise you are saying the OE light on the Ranger is not legal.

The lights of this subject appear to have DOT and not the reflector.

No, I like the others minus that reflector. I'll wait for them to finally release and update or I'll get my hand on some clean Lariat LEDs and install them.

The lights you linked are the Alpharex Luxx series which does not have replaceable bulbs. The one with replaceable bulbs is the Pro series, which is designed for halogen lights.

These are also designed for use with halogen lights.

Not wanting to start an argument, but it has been discussed here T length. Drop in replacement LED bulbs can not accurately mimic the light output pattern of a halogen bulb. So using them in a housing designed for halogen bulbs will result in an inferior light pattern. Even when used in a projector housing. Projector housings still have a reflector in them to focus the light source correctly through the projector lens

This is also why you will not see official DOT approval on any drop in LED bulbs.

Looks like a 2-year warranty

Can't speak to the headlights, though super interested in them myself, but I did recently put on the Anzo rear taillights and couldn't be more happier with them...

I pulled up to a Ranger with them on this morning. ?
