Funny. I thought I was the only one that turns and looks back when walking away from their truck. I don’t like appearing concede in a parking lot but I can’t help it. After 2 years it still give me the feels. Lol.
The DRL is actually pretty bright - don’t know why people say it isn’t. It’s definitely not blue tint at all, cool white. I don’t regret buying these one bit!
@Al Millon all good! For the most part, yes. But, you will have to splice some wires. Super easy, though. I just found a TH-cam video to walk me through. The worst part for me was getting the fenders off. Broke some clips in the process, but at least they’re easily replaced 🤷🏻♂️
Hey Taco Twonz, Great video man, really appreciate all the effort. Can these be installed without the dancing lights when you lock and unlock on a 2021 TRD Off Road? Was watching your Nova install and it looks like if you don't use the bundle extra wires, it's a direct plug and play with the TRD adpater? Love the light but I'm really not into the extra flash, I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thanks for your time.
I waited for these on my 21 tacoma sport when i found the one with all the bells and whistles on it i jumped on it. It seemed like all the new 21 tacomas had the old halogen non led lights I dont get it, why they dont come standard but I wasnt going to buy the truck without them. The style is night and day really crazy stylish different look.
@@Rainoffire yes in the us and yes oem led i just meant the style not the ones show cased in this video my fault. I like the blueish led light but probably wouldnt get them on my truck looks nice with the colors of his truck. So the canadians get these style headlights ?
@@dannymag2596 sorry, I didn't clarify. Canadian Tacomas do not come with the OEM LED headlights, not even as an option, unless it is the Limited or the Pro. In the US, only TRD sport and above have the option. Limited and Pro have it standard. If you bought a TRD Sport with all bells and whistles, then you should have the LED headlights.
Beautiful truck! What color is it? Cement or Lunar? both colors confuse my eyes. The Alpha black looks good than regular, wish they smoked out that Amber reflector plate as well. Its too bright.
Good morning I've a 20 Tacoma TRD you mentioned on this video around in the 3 minutes time. About replacing just headlight bulbs can you please send me a link that way I can purchase them , thank you
what's the difference between this AlphaRex TRD Pro & VLAND Full LED Projector Headlights because they were look exactly the same but just difference price....any idea?
You guys planning to make a install video or is the install the same as the alpha rex nova video you did? I have a 2021 tacoma OR and would like these headlights. i believe the oem has chrome. Would like the smoke led. Another question is can you replace the light bulbs or leds of this headlights? (Thinking head incase the lights goes off in the future)
Is this like a 6000k or 5500k like the oem sequential headlights that some tacoma comes with. Edit: I have a 2020 TRD OFFROAD with the sequential headlights
Yes, theres a cap on back of headlight both sides where you can swap the wiring over to the amber choice to have it run amber instead of white or wise versa
I just got these and had a problem with one of the three prom connectors it was different then the connectors on my 2019 trd sport :( Anyone else with this problem ?
I'm confused... "Projector" headlights were not made for LED's but they still out perform "Reflector" headlights? If this is the case, why did Toyota go back to reflector output and why would you "upgrade" for lower performance?
In actually reflector types have better output performance than projectors. Projectors have the advantage of being smaller and having a crisp light cut off, simply due to design. Reflector types can project most of their lights on the road, while halogen and hid projectors lose a portion of their output due to the cut off bowl. An LED projector style headlight is also both a top to down firing reflector with a projector lens. LED projectors have the advantage of maximizing their light output, being small, and having a crisp cutoff. But there has to be more LEDs in order to perform as well as halogens and HIDs, simply because LEDs lack light throw power. That being said, I had the Alpharex Nova headlights before. And I wasn't impressed with their performance.
@@Rainoffire Nah, I just think its hilarious how everyone talks about how great TRD is when it sounds like turd. Could they not come up with a better name? Its like Ford putting Ford Racing Team or FaRT on their cars.
@@Starch-Wreck Ye, true. It is pretty hilarious and doesn't sound as good as other brands racing development divisions. At least Toyota now has the GR group.
The startup light dance is awesome. Also, the sequential lights with the mirror lights is🔥🔥🔥🔥
Funny. I thought I was the only one that turns and looks back when walking away from their truck. I don’t like appearing concede in a parking lot but I can’t help it. After 2 years it still give me the feels. Lol.
Its all appreciation, if you truely enjoy your vehicle the feeling never gets old 🙌🏼
Installed these on my Taco last weekend. Absolutely changed the entire look and I love it!! The grille is next cuz that Chrome gotta gooooo....

Just bought a Tacoma, haven't received it yet and i cant wait to mod it. Definitely getting these bad boys. Under $1k too NIce
Man, I would put a blanket on that hood to put the light on.
The truck has plenty of scratches already
I have the alpha black, theyre awesome!
How the hell are their trucks always so clean, when we know they go offroading? Mind blown.
Was thinking the same thing. My 19 is pretty beat up
Washed it before most videos haha

What kind of Snorkel you got, that looks tight?

i wish you showed us how to bring the drivers side up...with adjusting lights...don't know how to do that

If you have all the bells and whistles, then the OEM LED would be part of one of the packages. Unless yours is a Canadian Truck.

I got mine on eBay for $50 less. I love the dancing lights. There are three color options. I got the regular black and love it.
The ebay ones also have dancing lights? From vland?
@@Darkside-gd1om Not the Vland, I got the Alpha Rex Luxx Series.
Are those stickers on the bumper or or they imprinted? Cuz I like it. Also are they the ones in prototype so you don’t have to cut the bumper?
They are stickers. The bumper caps are a month away.
@@Runnin4Tacos that’s exciting. I’ll be ordering those!!!!
Great video, thanks. I've been hoping to see a good comparison between the alpha-black and standard black.
Just the color really
So true. I always look back at my vehicle when I park it now. Didn’t realize that was a thing.
Now I want a taco after seeing these ...montero sport sad boy now
I wish they made a set for the Tundra. Those are nice
They do make a set for the Tundra.
Great video!!! What brand is the snorkel?
Beautiful truck! What color is it? Cement or Lunar? both colors confuse my eyes. The Alpha black looks good than regular, wish they smoked out that Amber reflector plate as well. Its too bright.
I got a question it is normally when u lock the truck the drl light turn on then it turn off while u not using the truck I just notice it my truck?
I definably be looking back if that was my truck cause it's wicked!
Hi, Where did you get those “bd” stickers on the front bumper.
Are these plug and play for 2018 tacoma trd sport with halogen bulbs
Do these work on a 2021 taco? I’m getting one in the next couple months. Might put these and save on the headlight upgrades if these will work.
May I ask where did you get that snorkel? It is awesome!!!
It's not available yet but you can sign up for email notifications at runnin4tacos.com
Good morning I've a 20 Tacoma TRD you mentioned on this video around in the 3 minutes time.
About replacing just headlight bulbs can you please send me a link that way I can purchase them , thank you
When are you guys going to start selling the front bumper caps again???
About a month out.
Do you know if alpharex is brighter than oem led headlight?
I don’t know which to get alpha black or black
Can I bought it from Toyota and install or ???
How do your replace bulbs in these headlights
How the fit tho because I I have bad experience with a aftermarket part since my Honda civic Days
what's the difference between this AlphaRex TRD Pro & VLAND Full LED Projector Headlights because they were look exactly the same but just difference price....any idea?
Would you be able to do a video review on the morimoto 2 stroke 3.0 ?
Sure, when we get a set of headlights without built in LEDs

No we wont be because the install is exactly the same. They are built in so you can warranty it but can't replace it yourself.
@@Runnin4Tacos thank you so much for replying! Is the warranty lifetime warranty? Would love to purchase these lights. Thanks
will this fit in tacoma 2021 and does it need harness to connect?
Hello, This will fit 2021 models. It will come with everything you need.
@@Runnin4Tacosthanks.. hm for this headlights?

What snorkel are you running? Ty in advance
What kind of bumper is that ?
What do we call this tacoraptor.
Mines is 4x2 offroad 2021 do i need a converter?
What is Tacoma short bed or long bed?
Is this like a 6000k or 5500k like the oem sequential headlights that some tacoma comes with.
Edit: I have a 2020 TRD OFFROAD with the sequential headlights
Can you make the drl constantly be amber instead of white?
Yes, theres a cap on back of headlight both sides where you can swap the wiring over to the amber choice to have it run amber instead of white or wise versa
Where did you get that air intake?!
Anyone know how to adjust the angles of these lights?? Or you have a vid on that?
Trying to figure that out too before I work on the truck
@@AnhNguyen-vo2od it's a 10mm nut on the back of the alphabet headlights. You'll see it in the back easy adjust
Does the nova lights output brighter?
And which would you choose?
Yes, it's brighter and also more expensive
What type of snorkel is that?
We'll make a video soon
@@Runnin4Tacos I already figured it out. Can't wait for the video though!
Noob question...when ordering, how do the converter affect the sr5 models?
It won't work for the SR5 using a TRD converter
Does anyone know the difference between these and Nova series? besides the price. So the low and high beams are LED? for the non-nova series. Thanks.
anyone know which front bumper he running ?
Appear price gone up.
Can anyone advise what bumper that is?
Lil B's bumper at Runnin4Tacos.com
How much alpha pay yu to make this video?
Um $0 haha, we sell the headlights so we made the video
I just got these and had a problem with one of the three prom connectors it was different then the connectors on my 2019 trd sport :(
Anyone else with this problem ?
There two types of harness. 16-19
And 20-21.
They sell them for $90 at the website
@@yebron69 what website?
Does anyone have raxiom tacoma headlights?
Awesome, let me have them when you don't want them anymore lol
I heard you cant adjust these...is that true? if so how do you adjust them??

What he said.
Had to play this on 1.75 speed. The guy draaaaagggsss. 1.75 and it sounds normal.
These lights sucks compared to the Nova edition. The light output on these is actually worse than stock
Check their truck on instagram they even changed their lights to the Nova edition themselves.
That’s 40 seconds aprox
SR5 gets no love.
Nice video,They are nice, but WAY overpriced ,
FYI, it's $800 plus tax.
R4T!!!
Ok I know it’s about headlight ... but what about that snorkel !!!!
I believe that's from uptop overland. I could be wrong tho
@@Aldo0913 must be new ... it’s on pictures of Tacoma’s on their website and also here on TH-cam but no where to buy or look at description yet ?
@@tsdub it is an UpTOP Overland snorkel that is still in production.
@@Pavimo_ ah 10/4
Dude how can you talk to us about those headlights when you got a snorkel like that. Let’s talk about that snorkel.
That snorkel is made by uptopoverland, same one that makes the roofrack on this truck.
We'll make a video soon
I would never drive a vehicle that literally says TuRD on the back.
Then take it out? Or get the model without it...
