    Right headlight is supposed to be aimed higher. We drive on the right side so the left is aimed a little lower to not blind oncoming cars and the right is aimed a little higher to light up shoulder of the road or sidewalks. Don't adjust your headlights

      I like the look of them a lot as well! Performance is good on them, I think that they are brighter than the stock headlights, but I wanted even brighter so I swap out the bulbs and upgraded to led bulbs. I have a video over that as well, as long as a proper review video with the headlights. If I could do it again I would have gotten the novas, I say that because they come with led bulbs and there is 4 bulbs on each headlight instead of 2. They’re more expensive but it’s worth it.

    Which fuse did you tap into? Alpha Rex website suggests 36 for 18-19 F-150 just wondering if that’s what you did. I ordered a micro2 fuse tap which comes with a 5amp fuse. Will that be enough to run these lights? Thanks

    • @blomeoutdoors2134
      @blomeoutdoors2134  4 роки тому

      Yes that is the fuse I tapped into. I haven’t had any issues with it, everything works fine with it on that fuse. You shouldn’t need to change out the fuse for a new one. I pulled the old one out and stuck the wire in and put the old fuse back down, you shouldn’t need to change it out at all.

Yes it is safe to do, the only down side I have found from it is that there is a slight static noise in the radio when the connection isn't the best. I haven't had radio problems in town, but outside of town there is occasionally static in radio. But if you're connected to music on your phone with bluetooth then there isn't an issue.

    Sharp looking headlights, but expensive. More concerning is the customer service reputation Alpharex has built for themselves, and it ain't good. Numerous reports of them either not being knowledgeable about their products, or just flat out blowing customers off when it comes to warranty claims. As nice as those headlights are, I'd be hesitant to do business with a company that has a bad reputation for standing behind their products.

      @@bryanesparza99 Keep in mind that while these are a projector style housing, the alpharex pro series, whether base or upgrade model, come with halogen bulbs. As I previously mentioned, the difference being the sequential turn signals and start up sequence in the upgrade model. You can swap out the halogen bulbs for LED's, but be aware that the alpharex pro series uses H7 bulbs for the high and low beams. This is different than what the factory uses, so if you plan on swapping out the halogens for LED's, you need an H7 LED as opposed to what's installed in your factory housing. Alpharex does offer the nova series, which come with LED's already built in, but they are significantly more expensive, and have the sequential turn signals and start up sequence built in. I have a 2020 F150, and my plan is to get the pro series base model, and swap out the halogens for a quality LED. From a financial and performance standpoint, I think it's the best bang for the buck.

If you want the DRL bar to be on whenever the truck is on then hook up the fuse. If you don’t want that, but only want them to be on when your running lights or low beams are on, then don’t hook up that wire to the fuse box.
