Alpharex G2 Pro headlights- LED bulb swap

[umbighouse]

I just installed a set of Alpharex G2 Pro headlights to replace some quad ones on my 2014 Ram 1500. I'm thinking about swapping the low and/or high beam bulbs (H7) with some LEDs.

A few questions:

• Will I need to use AlfaOBD to tell the truck it has LED instead of halogen lights?
• Any recommendations for good value (read "cheap") bulbs (Amazon links preferred)? I've seen good things about Katana & Hitari. Any better values than those?
• Are the LEDs a simple swap (i.e., no resistors or other modules needed)?

You could try these, I ran this brand in my quads and had no errors.

Thanks. Hoping to hear from folks who replaced the ones in their AR G2 Pros, too...

Can you answer my other questions?

• Will I need to use AlfaOBD to tell the truck it has LED instead of halogen lights?
• Are the LEDs a simple swap (i.e., no resistors or other modules needed)?

I have these exact headlights on my 2014 Lone Star. I went ahead and spent the money for the Supernova SV4s, definitely worth the money. As far as the "Parking Light Out" error message, I contacted AlphaRex and they sent me a load resistor for free and that took care of the problem.

What's involved with wiring in the resistors? What does that look like?

I swapped hi & low to LED's. Not happy with low, hi was great. Put HID's in lows & they are great. Be sure to adjust them properly. I never get flashed any more. I know, sad right, lol. Never needed any resistors or alphaOBD. Oh, my truck is a '17 2500 Tradesman. Adjuster

How did you go about doign this ? With the HID setup. I just purchased a HID kit and not sure If I am missing a cable to power on the actual headlights ? Does the harness from the ALpharex plug into the HID ballast?

Would love to see your cutoff line and output at night with the HID setup. Got any pics?

I have the same headlights and am about to get some LED's for them; not sure if i want to do the HID set up
Anyone else tried; any issues with the LED's and not fitting in the dust covers?

Ram LED Upgrade Alpharex Pro Series Headlights

I made this video to help Ram owners upgrade from the old stock halogen bulbs to a nice clean white LED. You may want to go the HID route but the information...

He used Hikari in his; but did use Alpha OBD to change the settings for the LEDs

Installed AlphaRex Pro G2

For anyone interested, I installed AlphaRex Pro G2 lights recently. Install was straightforward, no real issues. Low beams - Innovited 55w/5000k High beams - Fahren led

I used Fahren led in the high beams on mine; everything fit under the dust cover.

I have HID in the lows.

I had DDM Saber Pro V2 in my alpharex and they were fantastic. I tried both hikari and katana, and they were horrible. I tried HID, and they were good, but not great. These are great. No blue, just bright white and they actually project out like lights should. I was out driving the katanas and hikaris to the point it felt dangerous. I put the saber pros in the highs and lows. With the highs on, it was like daylight at night.
