    Thanks for being so upfront and honest. Way to many reviewers, not just youtubers, post reviews without any of the back story on how they decided and got into "business" with a company. In my humble opinion, that can has a huge impact on whether I buy a product or not. And bias of a reviewer that gets a product for free is always suspect. :)
    Thanks for the short sweet videos, Jon. Keep up the awesome work!

    • @TRDJon

      Exactly! Also when a company trusts me with their product, I try to give them the most content possible, without bombarding my viewers with to much fluff. Thanks so much for the support and comment. #algorithm.

    While it's untrue that none of our 4Runner headlights have ever had any kind of issue: there are no wide-spread defects and/or quality issues with them. The 4Runner lights are one of the most popular headlights in our entire XB lineup. However, there are some upgrades being made to them to further boost performance. The current 4Runner lights have a dual-LED low beam and a single LED high beam projector, whereas the new version will have a triple LED low beam projector / Dual Bi-LED high beam setup, and the Bugatti style startup sequence. The beam pattern has been revised to provide more intensity, especially on the ground directly in front of the truck, since some users complained they were lacking light with the Gen 1's and needed to fill it in with their fog lights. While foreground light is technically the responsibility of the fog lights, we were able to provide more width, distance, and foreground with the optical upgrade that's rolling out soon - and so killed three birds with one stone with the revision. These should be available through all distributors in July.

      Every product will have some defects here and there. Not everything will be perfect, that's unfortunately how production works.

    Alpharex vs. Morimoto. If you're looking to upgrade with high quality LED headlights, you're probably gonna have that debate with yourself. I know I did. I ended up going with Alpharex. As with all things aftermarket, there's always a bit of "rolling the dice". Does the company stand behind their product if issues arise? As far as Morimoto, I can't give an honest opinion. I don't own any of their products. My personal experience with Alpharex, however, was 10 out of 10. Had a high beam burn out one year after purchase. Took pictures, and sent Alpharex an email regarding the issue. After confirming a few basic checks, they sent me a new headlight assembly and emailed me a Fedex return slip for the defective unit. That easy. Unfortunate that there was a failure that early, but I gotta give credit where it's due. Alpharex stood behind their product, and addressed the issue FAST. Legit company, in my experience.

    I own quite a few Morimoto products and I can attest to most of it being junk and some of it amazing. Their projectors are top notch, bar none, as far as aftermarket goes. I don't mean the kits or the entire headlight housings, I mean just the projectors themselves. I've retrofitted many and they perform and hold up exceptionally well. The shrouds are of really good quality and I have yet to have one of their HD resistors fail on me. And that's about it lol. All their LED products have failed or faded within a years time on not only my own setup but, many of my friends as well; two at the most. And I do mean ALL... Their halos, bulbs, strips etc. They'll perform amazing for the first 5-6 months and then dramatically dwindle down. This is most likely due to poor thermal management and them being cranked up higher than rated by the manufacturer. Their HID bulbs also are barely on par with any name brand. But the product of theirs that takes the cake though, is their harnesses. Just complete junk all the way around. Can't even count how many times I've had to cut out and replace one of their 9006 style connectors, because they don't hold the prongs in straight or very solidly. Have had multiple harnesses arrive and be literally glued together or wired incorrectly for the vehicle they were ordered for. The wire jacketing is utter trash and the slightest vibration from an engine rubs through it. If it wasn't for the excessive amount of slide-on style braiding they use, their harnesses wouldn't last 2-3 months in a daily driven rig. Especially if you have a diesel. I've never actually purchased any of Morimoto's stuff directly through them so, I guess you could argue that's the problem... BUT when you've ordered from 3 separate vendors over the years, I tend to think the problem lays with the company itself.

    I have been running the AlphaRex PRO midnight series with HIDs on my 2015 T4R for a few months now. So far so good. For the PRO series you can change out the H7 bulbs (HID or LED or halogen) if they ever fail and go out. Downside is, you have to remove the front bumper and unbolt the headlight assembly to access the dust cap to get to the H7’s. Can you remove the LEDs if they ever fail on the LUXX series? Or do you have to send the entire headlight assembly back to AlphaRex to have them install new LEDs?
