Alpharex PRO Review

[Big Blue]

I never heard of Aukee LED’s before. With high power output like these the heat piping that the LED’s are mounted to is very important for this reason. When I do get around to getting the Alpharex myself I will be using https://auxito.com/collections/9005...for-fanless-h10-9145-9140-led-fog-light-bulbs

Just make sure you order the right bulbs! Those are 9005 bulbs. The Alpharex lights use H7 bulbs.

They are a huge upgrade over the non-Lariat lights.

But for my money that DRL strip is weak-sauce... It's just too inconsistent, if it were solid white and not all broken up it'd be a winner but for now I think the Lariat lights and (eventually) the Morimotos are better looking in the DRL department by a mile.

Dang, y'all have me worried now. I was going to pull the trigger on these headlights and bulbs Friday but now I'm second guessing that.

Aukee is the same kind of name

It's pretty bright when wired separately.

I think the headlights are still really good. It could just be the bulbs but they did get really good reviews on Amazon. Maybe auixtos are more reliable I'm not sure. I never had problems with the auxitos I had but I know people who did also.

I guess I'll go ahead and buy these and just see how it goes. If anything I guess I can just put the halogen bulbs back in.

which is exactly what I just did. I don’t blame Aukee since it was for whatever reason just affecting my driver’s side low beam (so far at least…no extended trips with them), just the overall LED headlight world is more complicated than it needs to be (like if you do own a new vehicle with OE LEDs, you have to make a trip to the dealer…do they cover the ticket too??).
But I digress…I’m really just salty about my new headlights not working how I wanted them to lol.
Guess I’ll get to see what the halogen output is like tonight.

As a precaution I would just tell Amazon they are defective they will send a new set before you have to return the old ones.

I can understand your frustration completely. I'm actually tempted to order the LUXX series at this point with the built-in LED bulbs. I know they're not replaceable if something goes wrong, but with the way it's looking I'm not sure if drop-in bulbs are the way to go either on these.

They only appear that way when in reduced power mode (when headlights are on).

When it's just the DRL strip its bright.

So I went to check the aim/output on the halogens last night and the (you guessed it) driver's side low beam was way off. It was like 11:00 PM, so I just parked it and went back at it today. I'm now a pro at swapping bulbs in these headlights haha...I was in AutoZone and knowing I had to get back in there, I impulse bought some Silverstar Ultras. I'm really pretty happy with the result actually.
The issue with the driver's side low beam pattern was just due it the bulb not being properly seated; I know because I ran into it with the Silverstars too, but got it right after a couple tries.

So in all, I'm into these headlights for close to what it would've cost to just get the built-in LEDs, but I do trust the "swapability" of the Pros a little more.

Pics for those interested in what halogens' beam pattern is like (output is actually pretty similar to the Aukees, just less white and maybe a little less "crisp").

Like I said - major improvement over non Lariat lights. But even in this photo I am personally just not a huge fan of the broken-up look of the DRL's (something I know alot of DRL's of all makes/ models suffer from).

It's really a personal preference choice - if it look good to you that's all that matters.

Installed this yesterday. However, when on Auto light selection during the day, low beams are on. is there a way to set it so just the LED strip (DRL) is on?

Rhat is a setting

That is a setting in forscan as far as turning off the low beam as drl
