    Hi, do you know if going thru forscan and activating DRL option may work without the wiring harness?

    Nice video! You mentioned a fuse they don’t provide. Is it just the fuse or that small jumper harness?

    • @matt13ross
      @matt13ross  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They didn't provide an "add a fuse" which is needed to activate the DRLs.

    Awesome info on here. Do the DRLs come on when set to auto? I see a lot of guys saying they don’t come on unless they manually put the lights in the on position.

    How much room is there inside the housing for the Led's? I'm considering getting the alpharex pro's for my 2020 F150, but I'm definitely not interested in keeping the halogen bulbs. Do these things have enough room for a fan cooled led plus the driver, and was there any issue with the dust cover fit after you got the led's installed?

    • @matt13ross
      @matt13ross  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Plenty of room for LEDs with fans. Cougar motor LEDs were later installed in this one.

    Hello! I know this was months ago but do you remember the color of the Alpharex Pro DRLs? Would you equate it to 5000k or would you say it's closer to 6000k? I want to make sure I get the HIDs to match as well. Thank you for your time and the video.

    • @matt13ross

    How are these holding up? How will the lights work without using the harness …. just plug and play?

    • @matt13ross
      @matt13ross  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      So far, all good! Yea they are plug and play but the LED strips won't be as bright without the harness.

    • @rickjames1851
      @rickjames1851 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So when you hook up the harness, you get brighter lights and the start up sequential and daytime running lights that stay on?
      I’d only want my drl on with using the switch.

    • @matt13ross
      @matt13ross  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not positive on that. I know they get brighter during daytime like a DRL with the harness.

    The two plugs on the harness both get connected to the headlight. You need to remove the amber side marker socket and bulb on the original and install on the new alpha rex headlight. I realized that today installing mine. Hopefully this helps someone. Which led bulbs did you guys settle on with this set up?

    • @matt13ross
