Hello all! Just want to share my experience with my latest purchases the:
2019 style Alpharex G2 projectors
https://alpharexusa.com/product/09-18-ram-truck-pro-series-projector-headlights-chrome/
Hikari Ultra LEDs
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B077B5NXPY?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title#
2019 Hikari LED for fog lamps
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07GKVZM1F?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Innovited 35 watt canbus ready 5000k HID kit
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07X2FY6XJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
The headlights were purchased directly from Alpharex and I went with the Chrome G2's. They were shipped and delivered from Texas to South Carolina in about 3 days. The led's and HID kit made it in the same amount of time.
When everything came I was stoked especially after seeing everyone's posts and output shots in the Alpharex/Modifystreet thread. But I still had reservations about installing them myself sonic set out for a shop that would do it reasonably priced and properly. Today I went to the shop and took my lights and all my bulbs. 2hrs and 45 minutes later they said all done "man those lights are nice!" Welp it didnt take long to know they messed up the install. Driving back to my house I noticed the driver side projector was casting left on the farvkeft side of the road. And there was a large void in the middle in front of my truck. The fog lights were the only thing that worked correctly and I was pissed.
So I got home, grabbed some tools, and started tearing about the grill and headlights. My anger grew especially when I saw that they stuck the gray DRL wire in to my fuse box in an open socket not even sandwiched with a fuse to help holdnit in place.
The HID kit was hanging down towards the wheel well not even secured same with all accompanying wires and then they didnt even install the HID bulb correctly in the housing or through the dust cap with a grommet that came with the bulbs. My Hikari Ultras were not installed correctly and fell out when I removed the headlight. The fog light were not clocked properly and wow what a difference when they are.
Just an overall lack of knowledge and sloppiness forced me to call the owner and demand a refund. Once he saw the pictures he agreed that it was one of the worst jobs he has seen. So after removing the headlights, clicking the led bulbs correctly, mounting and securing the hid kit, and properly tapping fuse 66 for the DRL my lights look 1000000% better. The cutoff is almost perfect. I as a noob stepped down the cutoffs instead of making them level but I'll fix that tomorrow. My only issues now are a Parking Bulb out light when I use my turn signals and the 5000k hid bulbs are too yellow and dont match the rest of the bulbs and it sticks out like a sore thumb sonic ordered some 6000k hid bulbs to replace them.
Sorry for the long post but the moral of the story nobody is try and do installs and fixes before doling out money because you just might be waiting for a refund in the end.
