This would be one thing that really concerns me. The LUXX cutoff and width is amazing and just miles ahead of factory, Lariat or non, so I would be concerned that using the PRO has a significantly narrower beam.
That is very interesting since it is the exact same lens in all three models. Maybe it was the leds that were chosen?
The photos I've seen show the lux to be on par with the factory Lariat LEDs as far as cutoff and width. Perhaps slightly improved. Certainly not "miles ahead."
I have the LUXX series and agree that it does not shine "Miles ahead" but it is definitely better compared to the factory Halogen lights!!. Compared to the Lariat assemblies? Hard to say for the brightness but I like the price of the AlphaRex a bit more to say the least.
Compared offroad with any of the other trucks that have Lariat headlights these Alpharex lights have *significantly* better width over stock, the Lariat headlights are actually rated worse than the stock Halogen housings in many things, including high-beam performance. If you then also consider price for the housings, it's not a comparison.
Absolutely, if I were looking to equip a halogen lighted Ranger with LED headlights I would certainly choose these over dropping in Lariat LEDs due to price alone.
Show me. Because all photos I've seen of the Alpha Rexs show cutoff and width that is virtually the same as the Lariat LEDs.
Not sure what you're reading into that link, but they said the exact same thing about highbeams for all trim levels...
Also there's no test from there on a Ranger with AlphaRex headlights. Not sure why you'd link to that when I took exception to your "miles ahead" comment about Alpha Rex and Lariat lights.IIHS said:
You're looking at photos, which never, no matter what you're looking at or what camera/quality you use, show you actual performance of lighting in dark conditions. I've actually seen and compared them offroad, side by side, in exact same circumstances, while out with fellow Ranger owners who have Lariats but stock lighting.
Look at the actual measurements, the Lariat and Halogen housings are very similar in performance, and both both models they're listed at Marginal at best. The headlights on the 2019+ Ranger are extremely underperforming
Of course there isn't, IIHS doesn't test aftermarket lights, only factory.
You could have simply stated that your entirely subjective, anecdotal evidence is that they're better. Meanwhile another member says he wouldn't even call them "miles ahead" of the halogens he replaced with them. Simply "definitely better."
What LED's did you go with? If you have a link to them that would be AWESOME!!Soon! I got the PRO and dropped in some LED bulbs. They were crazy tight but I got the dust covers on. We'll see how they look come Friday.
Strangely enough they are no longer on Amazon lol.
If anything be a little careful with that bulb. I say this because after 6,000k for color temp rain ans snow can be an issue for visibility
Yeah I was hoping for a 5500k, but no dice. If I end up liking them I'll bite the bullet on Morimoto 2 strokes. I didn't want the Luxx because I'm not a fan of the startup animation or the fact the LEDs aren't replaceable.
You know you could just go with a nice set of PIAA headlights in those!! They do cost but they are very nice!!
Success!
