@@TheJimmysGarage I was going to do a nose swap 2015, not anymore. I love the look of the smaller grill and those lights together. you definitely know it’s a Ford front end but it has that little hint of a second GEN look to it.
I’m trying to figure out if I can set/wire the pro’s so that the light tubes stay on as amber. Did you notice anything different on the backside between the pro/lux? Alpharex says some of there models have the ability to “set” there lights to amber, not sure what that means though?
They lights are plug and play, they utilize the factory blinker signal to initiate the orange. The white comes on when running lights come on. There is an additional tap for a brighter white running light that is optional but I did connect this to 12v ignition so even in the day time I have the white light on. I would think if you swapped the blinker wire with the running light wire and run orange all the time.
I have a 2000 7.3, i live the look of mine. But mine are no where near the brightness? The side marker/drl lights are fine, so not sure if its a wire problem and should just rewire my 20 yesr old wires or I'm missing something; or just faulty lights; in which case id be screwed since I've cut into the header and cant put my old ones back on and wait for a replacment.
Hey, why did you cut anything? If you use the plug and play adapters in the description they should work fine. The lower projector should come on when you turn your headlights on.
@@TheJimmysGarage I had to cut the header to fix the light assembly, since these 05-07 light's will not just fit right into the 99-04 style header. I had not cut any wire's just got he wire adapter's. And maybe the wires adapters are bad? Ill need to start by just checking ALL the wires for any tearing or bad connections first then just try new wires if they all look good. The truck is already a wire rats nest from previous owner's and needs to be gutted and cleaned out, have only been working on mechanically making her strong the last few months this was my first look update to the truck.
@@JoshRus as their description states, the top projector is hi-lo. Bottom projector is just for looks. They put a very low power led behind it so that it illuminates as just a type of running light.
Did you happen to have a video of the install or did you follow a guide? Specifically I'm curious if these would require additional cutting. I've already got a set of Recon projectors in my 04 but I am not at all impressed with the light output even with 80w Halogens. Sadly I ordered the HID "upgrade" from RECON when I bought them. That helped but the beam pattern was trash.
I just followed other youtube videos on how to install 2005 (6.0) headlights in to a 99-04 (7.3) and followed that. There is nothing "special" about the install of the alpharex headlights
Truck looks awesome, I've got an 02 excursion and I just noticed my lights don't flash or come on when unlocking or locking the truck with the fob like yours. Is there something in forscan or a vehicle switch sequence that you did to make that work with your truck?
Where did you tap in the harness for drl animation with unlock? I have a 2003 7.3. I per alpharex tapped into 12 obs2 cigar lighter and they are always on?
There is nothing to tap for that, when you turn your headlights on they the do the startup sequence. The pro series does not do this, it must be Luxx series or Nova Series
I have a 2004 F550 and have been looking for a grill and headlight combination. I saw your video last monday and started cutting my headlight support by Friday. It was an easy install, but I have two questions. When you hooked up the gray daytime running light wire, what fuse location did you use? My daytime running light fuse location is in the fuse block under the steering wheel. My issue is, that fuse is always hot, so as soon as I made the connection and installed the fuse the white rope light or C's "[ ]" come on and stay on even when I have my keys in my pocket and the vehicle is not running. My high beams also do not work at all, and the low beams have a constant flicker. 1000 times a min. I checked my batteries and charging system, that was all good. I pulled everything back apart, reinstalled all my factory lights, and everything worked perfectly. Put everything back to the new lights, no change... Flickering and no high beams - so frustrated!!! Yours looks killer... any help would be greatly appreciated!
For the running light wire tap you need to find a fuse that is 12v switched power only with ignition on. I believe I tapped mine into the radio fuse which I think is fuse 8 but mine is an 02. It sounds like a possible issue with your conversion harness that converts 04 to 05 wiring, you may have to swap a pin or something, the high beams use the same bulb but they open a cut off shield that gives more light on the road, so there isn't a second bulb for High beam rather when you flick your high beam a solenoid is activated to give more light on the road. The solenoid is mechanical so you should hear in in the headlight. As for flickering it could be a bad unit.
Hey mate I've got a 01 super in Australia can ypu make these fit into the 01 plastic nose cone? Looks like alot needs to be ground out. I was just going to fit the 05 plastic nose front
Did you have any issues with aiming? The 03-04 stock lights have different asjusters than 05+. Seems like tou have to pull them and resinstall several times to make aiming adjustments ?
Your video is what made me decide on these lights for my wife’s 2002 Superduty. I have morimoto on my Dodge and have to say I like the quality of these Alpha Rex very much! Drl and turn signals work well, however only the upper projector is illuminating. When I activate the trucks high beams, the upper projector changes. In your video it looks like both upper and lower projectors illuminate. Did you experience this at all?
Did you have to rewire the blinker pigtails? Because mine ain't plugging into the rex supplied plug in the housing it's not much different but different enough.. i also have an 02 but upgraded to the 05 panel and lights everything has been plug and play til now.. also you tapped into fuse 8? For the start up? Looking at also running that
@@TheJimmysGarage that's so weird in an 02? I had to splice the newer plug from my harness to fit i got that figured out i was just left with the running lights so thanks dude!!

@@TheJimmysGarage ya at least the blinker plug i did it was way different than what i got with the headlight assembly i thought that was weird considering both our trucks are 02s lol
Yes my blinkers do not fast blink, I'm not sure if my truck has resistors installed or not because it came with led tail lights already. I assumed these headlights do not fast blink because they have a resistor built in but maybe my assumption was wrong?
@@TheJimmysGarage I have led taillights as well and never had the fast blinker as well but when I installed the lights that when it start. Just wondering if you had that problem also.
@@TheJimmysGarage okay I’ll have to look into it. I’m sure it’s something the previous owner(s) have done. The hold wiring for the previous lights was a mess. Thank you for the help I appreciate it.
New LED blinker relay. I did for my fast blink. from AutoZone, $16 I think. I have the packaging with the part number if you need it. It was a pain to get to.
The white lights come on when you turn your headlight switch to running lights. They also come with an additional harness if you wish for them to turn on when your truck is keyed on. You just have to tap the one trigger wire to a switched power source. I tapped to my stereo fuse.
01 and 02 fuse box(es) are different. I’m not sure if there are any switched fuses under the 01 hood. If you found any in your 01 I’d appreciate knowing which one 😅
Correct much like many oem led. There is an LED driver inside that shines through the projector. You could easily service this driver though. Their NOVA series use a OSRAM driver which is what many OEMS use. Their Luxx driver has been around for years with no reports of going out so I wouldn't be to worries. Also they come with 2 years warranty and customer service is great and USA based.
I’ve had mine installed for about half a year now on my 99 7.3 and decided not to mess with the additional parking light harness since ours don’t have a parking lamp fuse. Did you install your additional harness? If so where did you tap into?
Yea just have to use an add a fuse- tap it to a 12v key on source. I believe I tapped mine into the radio fuse which I think is fuse 8. Worth it forsure, white DRLs come on when truck is on.
I was also wondering the same thing I have a set and was expecting the bottom lifts to be brighter but they look like they aren’t working almost any insight or help would be great
