Thanks to your video, I just finished installing Alpharex Nova on my cateye Silverado. I've been looking for good quality light output for this truck for a very long time, and you gave me the confidence in Alpharex that I needed. So glad they finally released this model for the cateye models. The stunning good looks are nice, but what I really needed was the best possible light output with properly controlled patterns.
Thanks for your effort putting together all this information and giving a really good demonstration of the lighting characteristics, that's really hard to convey in a video and you did the best I've seen at this.
Great review! Thanks for taking the time for the comparison.
im saving up for alpharex headlights for my 2012 sierra i love them and love this channel!!
Haven’t watched it but already know it’s going to be 🔥🔥
If I had to choose. After your review.. I'd go with alpharex. Looks like a lot more useable light infront of the truck. I love how wide spread the pattern is from left to right. Then if people really want the distance.. flip on the brights or light bar lol. But yes.. redesign the amber reflectors.. only thing that kills it. Love the video. Think you sold me on new headlights for my truck!
I was saving up for the Morimoto's, I'm glad you did this comparison, Aphex nicer for my use and a touch cheaper. The Mori's would look better on your truck if you were to get off lamps. Morimoto has kickass fog lamps that would fill up that empty space in front of the truck
Absolutely love it. Great work as always
At first i wasn't sure about the rex lights just because of the looks, but they killed it!
Appreciate the whiplash with that camera work
Just what I needed to c as I'm working on upgrading our 2012 GMC Sierra..Mahaloz 4 ur transparency
Please put the morimoto’s back on...
Those Alpha Rex are much brighter at night....Very Nice!
I wish they made them for older trucks 😢
Also....I like the Amber on the new lights....very distinctive ❤️
The areas they "brighter" is closer toonthe vehicle. Anything you can see that close too the vehicle you cant stop for at highway speeds. Morimoto has far better hotspot intensity/distance vision
They both are excellent lights. Just depends if you want to have more visibility up close or further down the road.
Great review, I prefer the look of the lights you removed better.
The Rex lights look like something off of a toy truck from Walmart.. the retrofit source lights look clean. Retrofit for the win!
Retrofit look too much like the newer style gmc. If you want that style buy a gmc. Chevy got to have the separation and quad set up. Spider look would even better but the Rex light isn’t bad at all. I’d choose the Rex lights
J Wheatley fair enough! Everyone has different styling
Retrofit kinda look ugly in my opinion but everyone has their own personal opinion and no one can change that!
The AlphaRex ones seem to have the LED placed incorrectly. It probably makes for a more pleasing output for oncoming traffic, but the focus is on the ground directly in front of the vehicle. The Morimoto have the correct beam output. It is very evident in the overhead shots where you see the Morimoto has little light directly in front of the vehicle, but more down road, and AlphaRex is opposite. My guess is, AlphaRex did this since they have a dedicated high beam, unlike the Morimoto that has a dual beam. I can't see a "major" company making a beam pattern completely upside down. They must also be running a higher powered LED to get the down road throw.
Love the new headlights you're right they look good 😎😎😎
I love your video's brotha keep them up!
Great review Brother.. I just bought the Alpha Rex headlights for my Silverado this morning.🕺
Good choice!
Installed the Alpharex to my 2012 Sierra, great investment and love the look!
have you taken a look at the alphaowl headlights for the 07-13 sierra?
I just ordered them. Now that you've run them for a year what is your opinion of the Alphas honestly.....appreciate it.
For the Alpha Rex headlamps, the DRL sequential Y strip, it would look alot better if did not angle down. Instead just have one single strip angling up like a L long ways. Looks awesome btw!
I have the alpharex pros, so one lamp high beam and the other low beam (not like his where there’s two headlamps top and bottom those are $1k…). With your day time running lights, is it just your top headlight or is it both led strip and top headlight or just led strip? When I run it at night the led strip lights up but I thought the the day time running is just the LED strip. Much appreciated if you can answer.
For a 1/3 of the price it’s pretty clear what the winner is here for me at least. The quality and professionalism of this channel is phenomenal and this is the first one I’ve seen on your channel. you definitely have a addicted subscriber now
I appreciate the comment! Welcome to the family 🤙🏽
Witch is cheaper
@@franktracy6871 well the price are now the same. I think the alpharex headlights were cheaper but they are definitely the same price now
Its one thing to have nice bright headlights as the driver but for on coming traffic which one has less blinding light???
I think because the alphas low beams sit up higher in the headlight than the TRS lights you would need to raise the cutoff line up further due to the angle that the light is going out at the road. If you do that I bet they would project as far or close to the TRS lights. Overall it looks like the alpha lights win hands down. The quad jewels look amazing. 😍
I was kinda thinking that. He should have re aimed them properly. As it is now the alpha lows look light they'd impress you but mostly kill your night vision by dazzling you dumping all those lumens on the road 20' in front of you where you shouldn't be looking unless your @parking lot speeds. Hopefully a proper aim would fix that. If not I'd go Morimoto for sure you can fill the foreground with fogs as needed. Those alpha highs do smash though but that's what I have a light bar for.
After seeing this I’m definitely getting these
Awesome video, very in depth review. Hopefully they take your advice on the DRL and amber reflectors, would like to get a set in the near future.
Now you need to get some fog lights for that truck. Get the bumper caps and some fog light housings and wire them in. I did it on my 08 base LT Silverado.
Wow! I was so excited clicking the link then I see $980...haha wow I was expecting around $500 price range! Gonna have to save up can’t miss on these, I got a 08 Silverado lt crew crab all black , I’m also saving for my all terrain tires got 80% of my money collected for them 😎, been following you for a minute! Also on Instagram :D, keep up the dope ass videos bro!
I bought the morimoto xb led headlights for my 13 Silverado. I also noticed the shadow at the front too. But I also bought the morimoto led fog lights which helped with that shadow. Still wish Morimoto added a second projector or led reflector to help with high beam visibility.
Are they not bright enough?
Any issues with those morimoto headlights?
Details you mention was correct but over all better lighting 👍
Put ditch lights on it. I bought the whole package, bracket, lights and wiring harness all from eBay for 40.00. I would also remove the Silverado letters and put Texas Edition emblems on. You can also get them from eBay or you could just apply them above the Silverado on sides and tailgate. Looks nice.
Texas edition is an actual edition not people just claiming they have one.
The Retro fit looks alot cleaner without the amber reflector. For lighting the Rex looks amazing. Debating which ones for mine.
Same here. I’m running lights similar to the retrofit ones but I’m not a huge fan of the fact that I don’t have switch back drls like the retrofits. I was considering switching to them, but now I really like the Rex other than the reflectors
I different like both, it really is a difficult choice. Thanks for the video post
Great videos, what brand led lights do you have on your garage ceiling?
Just bought these !!!
I have the alpha headlights for my 09 and I get compliments all the time and I am to only one in the Dfw area that has them. I have not seen them on any other truck witch I like because everyone with Chevys have the same headlights and taillights and these are different so that makes the alpha headlight the better ones and it’s the reason why o got them.
Looks good 👍
I'm impressed, Alpha Rex puts out more light than the Morimoto.
Those 4 pods look great looks aggressive
Just needs a good tint around the amber reflector to blacken it out and then it would look better , but I think the Morimoto still takes the win
Goes better with the styling of the truck nice lights!
Im saving up for those exact same alpharex headlights on an exact same truck an 07!
I just ordered a set for my 07 HD with the matching fog lights
Beautiful
What about adding fog light on your 07?
Looks nice..I think u should adjust the new lights just a little up ... u can tell the new lights are low... but looks awesome 🤙
I like the looks of the retrofit led better, but I like the amount of the light the other set of lights throw off better.
Very nice, Thanks
Excellent video
I like the morimotos, they seem to have a better controlled beam rather than just blasting light across the entire road. I like having a cut off on the left side that doesn't cast into oncoming traffic 300ft away. I also like pulling up behind people in cars at a stop sign and seeing my lights cut off below the top of their trunk so I'm not lighting them up too badly.
I just ordered the Alpharex Nova series for my 2012 silverado. What is your process for adjusting the headlights?
Was the wiring difficult? Or is it a plug and play setting. I’m interested in buying a pair for my truck. 😁
Question! Do you remember where or what the Tow Mirror are called?
Nice headlights good comparison video in my opinion I think the Rex stand out more on your truck how are the amber are they bright great video
I really, really hate you. I was all set on the Morimoto. Now after seeing the REX, I don't know. Have to really sit down and weigh out the pros and cons on each. Great video. Good thing I have till next tax season to make up my mind. LOL Love the side by side pics of both lights. Thank you for your work.
Do a 2020 stock headlight comparison to the alpha Rex lights on The 2007
Does the daytime light strip stay on during the day while the headlight turned off? So it’s just the strip like the 18 Silverado’s
Raffle the ones you don’t use lol 😆 like the video al be first one to enter lol for my 08 Silverado👍🏼
I would appreciate your input. I watched the video, it looks like the alpha rex doesn't have a proper beams in low beam. I has a Hotspot 20ft out and dies out, the high beam smashes light everywhere which isn't bad. The other looks like the low beam is a lot better since it disperses light even and low. The latter seem like better lights day in and out, you have been running the now for a bit and what would your opinion be now?
wow what good content nice video man that song fire though
Do you have a shot of the stock lights from above/drone to compare?
I have spyders headlights. They’re good with halogen not so much led and hid would melt them. But I took mine part and tossed in morimoto projector housings
Nice video....let me ask you something...what about back lights?....or what woukd you recommend?...
Love the video. The Morimotos look way better than the Alpharex.
+1 for the alpharex. I love the quad set up as well, and completely agree how it seems to "raise" the front end. The sideways Y doesn't bother me in the slightest actually (but I preferred the styling of the spyders over the retrofit as well). Only complaint is the amber reflectors. I also prefer alpharex's light pattern. A little less distance with the low beams, but a noticeable increase in side to side visibility. You get plenty of distance, in my opinion when you kick on the hi beams. Plus it looks sick... If they're at the same price point, I go with the alpharex for sure.
The Morimotos design and quality looks much better and cleaner. I have a set on my 2013 Silverado and very impressed. But like you said, “personal preference”! Are you planning to add side steps to your truck and maybe rivet style fender flares? They look great on mine, just color match to make em pop!
Yes the mori look cleaner and not to cheesy with the white Y
What's the 3 yr update on the Morimotos? Did they leak? Thanks
Ayeee, 256 likes and not a single dislike💯
Do u still have the 3.5 leveling kit?
Is it still working good?
Any issues ?
How do you adjust the headlights jus got a set for my Silverado ?
Looked at the Alpha Rex site- i probably had missed it but whats the warranty on the Nova lights?
Check out the FORM Lighting version of the 07-13 LED Reflector housings! They're IDENTICAL to your new silverado.
Hey I’m in Texas I just installed these on my Silverado can you help me adjust them
Pretty good review, untill the end of the night shots. The high overhead shot didn't show much. The last night shot was not from the same height, and looked like not the same road. Try shooting from the drivers point of view, say 6', onto a road with as many trees signs, etc. Better to judge beam shape, and distance. Also show the beam on a large building from 150', to see the full left to right spread, and sharp the low beam is. What LED bulbs do the use,and current cost. LED's can overheat and burn out. Thanks.
I noticed that as well however it was the same road I just think he was a lot closer to that sign if you watch this again. The High Beam shot was not at the same distance as the Morimoto light. The sign is waaaaay down the road. I wish they were at the exact same distance. That would speak volumes for me. With that said I just purchased the AlphaRex models. Don't have them yet but I need to see them in person and test before I'm a believer. Excellent video all the same. Thanks for doing this and all your other videos are pretty nice as well.
Wowzer $ 1100 for a set of headlights, thats a few lumens above my pay grade!
What color is that on your nnbs ? Love the blue
Dang been trying to get you to get these for sometime now lol
I just need to know what wires the red and black wires in to tied into for led bar
Are they from Amazon or where can I get them? But I what something like that but for GMC Sierra 1500 crew cab
What fuse did you tie into?
Great Video, What tail lights are you running?
What do you do with your old headlights?
I love the headlights you took out. I don't drive at night and would just use my light bar in the country. Do you have a link for those?
Auxbeam.com
Love the new beams! But I think the Rex lights should follow your design suggestions, and send you new ones once they are implemented!
What do you do with old headlights I like them and would like a pair of they are for sale
I've mentioned it on one of your other videos, I will be more than happy to take the Morimoto off your hands. I'd hate to see such a beautiful headlight go to waste by sitting on a shelf. It is very rare that I use high beams, and there is not enough difference in light on low beam for me to want to use the Alpharex. Style points from me go to Morimoto. I do like the 4 lights on the Alpharex but the rest of the design has to go.
Do these come with the LEDs already? Sounds like they do.
What warranty they have i know the retrofit have 5yrs ?
What kind of grille do u have ?
The retrofit lights looks brighter .. Do they hav these lights for a 2012 GMC Sierra??
are you selling your older lights ? they all look awesome
Both are Badass, I dig both I have retrofits for my 09. I just feel retro fits have better distance but you get a higher output at close range in those Rex. Just a coin toss in my opinion
Well you better have alot of coin, instead of tossing them your gonna be dishing them out & lots of them lol
What is the best for a 1998 Silverado
I just installed these and found that there is NO way to disable the sequential blinker. After watching your first video on these headlights, I thought that the DRL module also included a modifier for this. I would definitely have leaned more towards the Morimoto XBs if I had realized this couldn't be changed.
Whats the wire harness look like on the alpharex?
Retrofit is my fav for that year body style 😂
i dont know witch one i want to put on my silverado they both look good
Morimoto Have Better Looks
Adjust the beams up a little bit more to get the beams out a little bit farther out about 5 feet
Will do!
@@LonestarHawaiian how did you wire up the drl I'm having issues with it
I'm just curious I have price check those lights they're out of my price range I have an 09 Silverado I'm looking for some great lights not Esthetics good bright lights good lights something that's budget-friendly
Aloha from Louisiana
I love how your truck looks. is there a way u can send me link to buy the front head light and also the back ones best set of lights by far. I seen in silverados
Looks like the design of the Rex headlamps are bringing back the Cat eye design of previous model Silverado, nice touch
