Alpharex PRO Review

[Nimble]

Glad you were able to get them to work. I am working with alpharex to get mine (specifically the DRL's) to work. Somehow, my 2019 xlt doesn't have a fuse number 27, or whatever they were recommending, so for now my DRL's are the projectors. I'm guessing "plug and play" for you was just using that port 27?

Fuse 24 and that is weird

Fuse 24 and that is weird

I can't believe I overlooked this when trying spare fuses, it's patched and even brighter than before, thank you!

Really thinking about pulling the trigger on these! Would you recommend these bulbs since I can't find the ones you bought?

And how hard was the installation?

Those are the bulbs I got since I could not find the ones mentioned by the OP. Looks like these ones are updated version of the other ones. Install isn't too hard.

Can someone please explain more on what you are talking about with this fuse 24 / fuse 27 thing? When looking at pictures on the Alpharex website some models had an extra wire with an inline fuse holder. Is that what you mean? Original poster and website make it seem plug and play but some of you are talking about a missing fuse or port. Thanks

The system is 100% plug and play. The extra wire is if you want the DRL to operate independently of the switch and also reduce brightness automatically when the headlights do turn on. So basically for the DRL to work with out the wire you would have to put the switch on parking lights for example not auto.

OK, thank you very much. That explains it. Appreciate the quick response. I am liking these lights and thinking of getting them in the future.

Just go into Forscan and set your DRLs to include parking light and they should come on in Auto during the day. Setting your DRLs to dedicated (Lariat option) should also disable the low beams as DRL.

I'm about to do the DRL thing but, is it hold for a Daily? I don't want to burn those little leds in 1 year.

The Alpha Rex warranty is up to I believe 3 years and they will replace the entire unit if the LED burns out.

I installed these today, and went with the Aukee bulbs as well. My driver's side bulb keeps shutting off randomly; is this happening to anyone else? They also don't have near the "brilliance" as what your pictures show...yours turned out really nice and appear very similar to my Morimotos in my last truck (2013 F150 with the XB LED headlights), so i went with the Pro/Aukee setup and I'm a bit let down to be honest...I'll have to investigate what's causing the shut down. It comes back on after turning them off and back on again. And it's just the one bulb is what's weird.

Oh, but here's some pics. They do look good. Also installed the Stage3 grille lights and Diode Dynamics fog lights today. The grille lights were the only "easy" thing all day lol.

Interesting. I have had the same thing happen with the aukees, (driver side light out.) I think it has only happened once though. Now im curious.

It did it first right when I pulled up to get the headlights aligned, then again leaving and again waiting in the drive-thru. Definitely has me a bit paranoid about driving around at night. Guess I'll spend a good amount of time figuring this out tomorrow. I bought the Pro so I could swap bulbs, but even that looks like it'll be a chore. Everything is just so tight.
