Let me see your headlight beam pattern!

So I recently just got new headlights from Alpharex and I can’t seem to aim them the right way, every time I try, I either get it too high or too low. I want to see an example of how they are supposed to be aimed and aligned, really would appreciate it.

Here is before and after of the headlights, also wired up the DRL kit Alpharex gives you with the headlights and definitely makes a difference!

This was back in December, lol.

Does their kit only turn the DRLs on when in gear or all the time
The morimotos I got was all the time so I added two relays now they only work in gear

The following video is very informative and how I verified the aim of my Projector headlight housings after an LED bulb upgrade. It should be suitable for any style of headlights.

They only work when the ignition is on. The kit from Alpharex said to use the fuse for the sunroof but I didn’t risk it because I’ve heard some bad things about that from people who have a truck with a sunroof, and unfortunately mine does have a sunroof, so instead I wired it to the 12V DC fuse or “Cigarette Lighter” which is labeled in the fuse box. I don’t really care about having them on all the time, they are bright DRLs though and I’d bet the Morimotos are bright too. I like the Morimoto headlights, they are just way too out of my budget for me so Alpharex is the way to go.

I live in Canada so have DRLs that turns on high beam so I put a relay in with straight through to DRLs on each side and triggered with power from each park light to switch power to brights now DRL turns off with turn signals and works perfectly

It's possible to wire the headlight DRLs to the dedicated DRL outputs from the BCM. I did this on my '15 and the DRLs function like the factory, even drop out when the turn signals are on.
