Really considering those lights . Am in the same ️ getting tired of my regular OEM quads . Let me know how the install went after you install them .I just bought a set of the AlphaRex 09-18 Ram Truck LUXX-Series LED Projector Headlights Alpha-Black.
I just couldn't stand the crappy light output of my OEM quads any longer.
They just came yesterday so I don't have them in yet but the installation video I watched showed aiming them using the OEM adjuster.
LOL. See post #6. They are in. I adjusted them yesterday in my work parkade. I like them and the light output is way better than my OEM quads.Really considering those lights . Am in the same ️ getting tired of my regular OEM quads . Let me know how the install went after you install them .
Depends on how your truck is configured. If your truck is Canadian, they used the high beam as the drl. US spec'd trucks used the turn signal as the drl. If running anything other than halogen bulbs. You should change your drl location to the turn signals so as not to blind anyone.One thing I noticed the other day with the AlphaRex Truck Luxx LED lights is that without the daytime running lights harness installed the lights don't act exactly the same as the OEM lights (with DRL's enabled).
With just the parking lights on, like you would run when sunset is approaching, I thought it was just running the DRL upper and lower LED strips and parking lights on the AlphaRex lights but as soon as I put it in gear the DRL's come back on. I don't believe the DRL's would come on with the OEM lights with the parking lights on, at least every Ram I see doing this with stock lights just has the parking lights on. This makes the parking light function kind of useless as the DRL's on the Alpha lights are your high beams (same as OEM) but they are full brightness where they would only be half brightness (or something like that) on the OEM lights.
Something to be aware of in low light conditions. I would use the parking lights often when driving, now I will just need to turn the headlights on completely so I don't blind other drivers with the high beams.
I might just have to wire in the DRL kit that comes with the AlphaRex lights to get around this but I really don't want to.
The morimoto 2 stroke 3.0 is a dual function bulb. When it detects the lower output of a drl, it kicks the brightness down to function as a drl. They're pricey, but the best option if you want to run led bulbs. Even in the day time, full brightness high beam LED are insanely bright when shining directly at you.I would have to check but I am fairly sure that DRL's in Canada can't be turn signal bulbs.
I am not too concerned about blinding people in the daytime but in low light conditions I will just have to turn my headlights on and not my parking lights so they switch to low beams and off highs.
