Hey bro I ordered mine also but need to see how your set up is inside dust cover. Kinda new with this changing halogen to leds. Just want to make sure I have what I need before switching out my headlights
Do the lights come with an installation manual? The only thing in my box is one harness and two lights. Nothing to show how to connect harness or grey wire or add a fuse that people are talking about in the comments.
If you watched the video then you would know that they do not come with instructions. It shouldve came with the grey wire but the add a fuse you have to buy separately
After looking over the multitude of options for headlight upgrades for my 2020 F150, I will probably go a similar route. I checked out the product description on Amazon, and for me, there's one major reason to go with the base model. The sequential turn signals I can live with, but that stupid start up sequence that you get with the upgraded models is ridiculous. For those of you who are familiar with alpharex headlights, you know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not installing anything on my truck that screams "Knight Rider". As far as the morimoto's, I'll pass on that. Agree with the uploader. Things are ugly af. The one nice thing about this setup is they're serviceable, with the exception of the planks, I'd assume. One of your LED's burns out, you just replace it. I'm pretty sure that the high end morimoto or alpharex LED projectors do not have serviceable headlight bulbs. You lose a high or low beam, you're buying a new assembly. These headlight assemblies don't break the bank, so you'll have some cash left over if you wanna do an LED upgrade.
What fuse did you tap into? #36 10amp fuse? Would then a 5amp fuse be enough to run the lights? If not what is it you did/used? Thanks installing these lights next week just trying to figure it all out. I ordered a micro2 fuse tap it comes with a 5amp fuse. Just wondering if that will be ok and where I should tap it.
After reading comments I see you taped #74. Alpha Rex website suggests 36 for 18-19 F-150 that’s why i assumed sry bout that. Still curious what size fuse you use to power the lights though. Thanks
How did you position the bulbs in the socket? Were the LEDs turned to 3/9 o'clock or 12/6 o'clock... or another? Or does it matter?Thank you.I can't wait to put my lights on. Your video convinced me on what to get. Thanks.
Hey man, love the headlights, I have my set delivering any day now. Did you change out the amber marker/blinker lights to LEDs or are those just the stock halogens?
I shouldve put that in this video, that's my mistake not doing it. I can if youd like. You just take the the 2 wires on the harness and put it into the white wire on the back of the housing, put the red n black wires to the positive n negative on the battery and then just pull #97 fuse put it inin ur add a fuse and plug that in the fuse box.
@@WICKEDAUTO1 do you know if i need to add 2 of the same fuses into the add a fuse since it has 2 slots? Or just one fuse? That's thr only thing im stuck on..
Hey man great videos.... I just put the exact same headlights on my 2018 Ford F-150 (same truck) and I did the harness and everything but after I turned my truck on and off (to test make sure everything worked) without the plugs for the grill plugged in now my check engine light and a wrench icon dash lights popped up any idea why? I’m going to see if auto zone can clear the code tomorrow I was just wondering because no one else seemed to have that issue. Also one last question, I didn’t use the same exact fuse spot you did I think u said #97 would that make a difference? I tested it with a voltmeter and it gets 12v every time ignition is on.
It only popped up because the shutters were unplugged. That's all, just disconnect the negative terminal off your battery and it will clear it. I actually ended up using #74, it's a better option
In case you don’t know... there’s a little grey adjustment tool on the back of the headlights you can use a screwdriver to adjust the height of the low beams.
Great video. If I order these lights do I need to buy that add a fuse? If yes why? And do I need to buy one or two add a fuses? I have a 2016 Ford F-150 xlt thanks if you can help me out
Love your channel. I have a 2017 Ford F-150 SuperCrew Sport. I just purchased the same exact headlights but for my year. Hopefully I get them in a couple of days. Just wanted to ask you about the LED lights you installed I ordered the ones for my headlights same ones you got but the h-11 fit in mine. Did you install any kind of a relay or is it built into the bulb. Just curious if it's it plug and play. Thanks again for all your videos.
They are plug n play, you should not have to install anything else. However I will say if your bulb type is h11 in the housings then I would return those and get beamtech. I have experience with those as well as I had them in my stock housings n they were great. But also a heads up, I'm getting a new set here should be by this weekend and they will have a discount code if youd want to wait to see how they are.
Hey, I want to order the housing since my F150 doesn’t have the ring around them, but I already changed my halogens for some LEDs and they cost me $300 for both lowbeam and Highbeam, so I was wondering if I can use the same bulbs I already bought or I have to buy a specific kit that fits these after market housing? You know what I’m trying to say right lol
Definitely agree with you, I wouldnt either! Sooo you may be able to find someone to make up a harness that will work from the H7 to the H9 or 11 that you have now but that would definitely be the only way.
@@CrizpyLeo ebay has a harness for h11 to h7 I just ordered mine cuz I bought this lights n the bulbs I have in my stock lights was 150$ so I'm planning on keeping my boslla bulbs in my new headlights
Anzo was actually my first choice as I loved them on the 15-17 but just did not like the look they did for 18-19. These look great and have performed great since I got them
Yep they are the same h7s. The only pain with h7 is getting the positive and negative right(which isnt labeled) had to flip the passenger side around lol
You did all that work and didn’t bother to adjust the passenger light down (or drivers side up) to the cutoffs would match?? You know you can adjust the height of the beam, right?
lol I just bought the same bulbs and pre loaded them in my alpharex headlights. installing them tomorrow. thanks for the video! i ordered highbeams off of ebay as I dont use them much either!
The ebay order isnt a bad idea! I may do that as well just to have then swapped. Just make sure you test them before finishing the install to make sure ya got the positive n negative right on the bulbs, had to flip the passenger side around lol
Question, I installed mine without the harness. Do you see it possible to install the harness without tearing the front end apart? Yours are definitely brighter and I need that. Lol
Eh it is probably possible maybe but would be a super pain in the ass. You would have to find a way to grab the tiny little wire on the back to plug it into the harness
Another? For you. I installed my rex pro's a couple of days ago with the harness for the full brightness but driving during the day its hard to tell if the drl planks are on or not. Especially compared to other vehicles with drl planks which are obviously on and super bright. Do you also have this issue??
Ok just put the led bulbs in the housings, was easy once you get started. Hope I got the +/- right. Hope to install the housings this weekend. Not using F150LED’s so hopefully bright enough.
great truck good mods constructive criticism use a micro fiber towel wipe your lens. Seems oily and makws vids look hazy. try it out before you record might make a huge difference fyi stick led headlights suck bad i wish my truck didnt have it
i have the alpharex pros...the sequential feature is absolutley cooler looking makes it look high end...i was going to comment on the drl but i noticed at the end of the video you put the relay on...looks awesome bro...love the truck!! had a question on the hikari led, are they all the same setup with that plug on the back ? or is there a certain type to buy with the alpharex?
@@WICKEDAUTO1 lol I'll keep turning til it decides what it wants to do I also saw on the site u can keep the drls Amber ..kinda interesting ... I'll keep u posted
Do you happen to recall which wire color was positive and which was negative on the inside of the Alpharex housings (ie after you remove the dust cover on the low beam projector)?
Did you put led bulbs in the tri bar signals of the housings? I've seen a few videos where the signal in those spots blink out of sync with the drl bar signal
If I remember correctly there is no bulb for that, you plug their wires into the stock bulb housing so it's w.e. they already have on there but I had no issues with not being in sync
I installed my raptor style grill with amber lights and alpharex headlights this weekend. I spliced my raptor lights into factory amber light harness. Everything seems to work fine except for the arrow on my dash. It hyper flashes when signaling left but doesn't do it when signaling right. Did you have this issue? Did I miss something? I know there is more load on that part of the system but not sure what to do.
I would think it would actually be the opposite. LEDs sometimes tend to cause that due to requiring less power than halogen so the truck thinks the bulb it out but with the raptor lights added it'd be more power so that shouldnt cause it. Have you made sure all other lights are working on the driver side? Turns, parking,, lows/highs, fogs and rear turns, brake and back up. If all bulbs are good and you would like to remove the hyperflash you can through forscan
I've got the same raptor grill light kit as your and just ordered these alpha rex headlights. Did you ever figure out the problem of the 1 plank not working like the other
Got this same set and I've hooked up the drl harness. I see in the first part of your video the passenger side amber light is darker than the drivers side. Then second half of the video they are the same. What did you do to fix that as I'm having that exact issue right now. All other functions are working normally.
Thank you bro I appreciate the reply. I honestly have only ever subscribed to 2 channels and felt obligated To do so with yours! You have pumped out so much quality material to help with decisions. Thank you!
When you go to high beam does the low beam stay on too? Reason I ask is I got 4 of the Hikari H7 bulbs that you used. I am hoping that was the right thing to do, but if the TOP H7 bulb cuts off and the bottom cuts on at high beam then it is essentially the same... Right?
Mine stay on yes because I changed that in forscan awhile back. You are correct in the highs and lows are the same h7s and whenever I do change the highs I'll order the same.
Have you had a chance to figure out the raptor light wiring? I will be installing the same lights and my raptor grill with lights hopefully in the next week or 2. I have seen where there has been issues when splicing the raptor lights into the headlight marker light harness. Alpharex suggested to run the harness into the fuse box that has ignition. What did you do for your wiring or what would you suggest? Thanks in advance.
@@WICKEDAUTO1 I added the fuse tap but the first spot wouldnt seat in properly. They came on today super faint with the low beam but if I turn drl off in settings, they do not come on at all
@@1515chollins well yea leave your lights in auto, but they of course need to be seated in the whole way. I use fuse 74 but just yesterday a gentleman said 78 worked better for him
do you have the MK5s from F150 LEDs? Im assuming they will fit into the Alpharex housing? Also do you recommend me getting the harness? Im looking to install this myself and have never done anything like it so im nervous im going to mess something up or not have the right parts
I have the F150LEDS bulbs now and absolutely love them. They are a pain to get in due to Alpharex design but its possible and worth it!! Not sure what you mean about getting a harness though
@@WICKEDAUTO1 I guess my question is does the harness make that big of a difference for the brightness on the DRL? Will the DRL stay on during the daytime if I have my lights switch to Auto? I like the stripe of light that borders the edge so I would like for it to be on both during the day and night
@@marktirondola5555 yep mine are on at all times. I think it made a noticeable difference in brightness hooking up the harness plus it's really not difficult at all, you just plug it in the only extra piece you need is the add a fuse
Im confused by what your asking... the bulbs themselves? It's the same as any headlight bulb, they plug into the wires inside the housing. Many manufacturers use different size bulbs they still plug into wires inside
WickedF150 ahh I gotcha. I have the normal h11 in my factory housing. About to get the alpharex so makes sense. Thank you. And the plank harness comes with the headlights correct ?
@@alfieangeles6432 OBD2 FOR FORSCAN OHP ELMconfig Elm327 OBD2 USB... amzn.to/2XcFJxQ Forscan spreadsheet- docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uDSQ1Z5a2Wt8-kjrSiVSlDFGFHnfeuhb3RTMVz95730/htmlview# There is the scanner and the spreadsheet for all the codes. Do you leave your headlights on auto?
When I turn on the truck with the remote one headlight stay amber and the other white. When i use the key to fully start the truck the light change to white. This is the first time the headlights do something like this. Any ideas why this is happening
I actually have no idea on that, if it didnt come on at all, ok but not sure why it would come on but stay amber and only one does it. Do you have anything else tied into either light?
@@WICKEDAUTO1 I purchased the Alpharex headlights for my F150. I want LEDs for the low and high beam so I looked up what bulbs I needed and it recommended H11s. However you used H7s and obviously it worked so I'll order the H7s.
WickedF150 awesome thanks! I think i'll try Hikari since the f150 LED's are so expensive with the frame rate, did you need that canbus thing with your hikari or just plug and play? I dont mind if they're a little dim i just dont want and hyper flash or flicker
@@habsexperiance5548 these ones I had for a bit didnt flicker at all but if your not going to get F150LEDS I'd suggest auxbeam over hikari. This set the pattern was off just a bit and a better set a buddy got for the anzo video I installed, those bulbs needed resistors just to be able to plug them in and you had to buy them separately
Hey man, did your headlights come with the bulbs that “clip” in? Like the old school style...or did they come with the bulbs that can be screwed out and in. I ordered these headlights and got LED aftermarket H7 bulbs from f150leds and they don’t fit because my headlights have the clip in bulbs instead of screwing in. Just curious what your thoughts are. Thank you for your time. Love the channel!
yes they clip in, so do the F150LEDS, those are the bulbs i have now. if your saying they screw in then either you didnt specify you needed h7s when ordering or they sent the wrong ones. now i will say those bulbs are horrible to try to get in there. i had to partially set the bulb in, put the clip piece around thr bulb and push/slide both down at once.
@@WICKEDAUTO1 hmmm... Well my dad and I both tried to get them to work and we just thought there was no way at all they would fit. I did specify the H7 aftermarket but the fan on the back is so big it won't even think about going down into the housing. On my label I got from f150LED it says aftermarket H7. I think they may have sent me the wrong one maybe.. .but everything on the order had the right stuff. The back of my housing has the clip that you have to pinch to get it to release and when we went to put the new LED bulb in it was to big to even slide down in the housing. I just figured that ALPHAREX gave me an outdated headlight. I can't find a youtube video anywhere that shows exactly how to put them in or what they look like out of the box or anything so I feel like I'm going into this completely blind lol. Thanks so much for helping and answering my questions.
The ones I have right now you set in and twist... I need the ones that set in and you push down with the spring and clip. I think they sent the wrong ones.
@@joshbooker3583 th-cam.com/video/jXuT8wjuMJA/w-d-xo.html There's my video on the F150LEDS, does sound like you got the right ones. They are extremely difficult to get thr clip around. Like I said partially put the bulb in, put the clip around the bulb then push/slide them both down. Definitely need needle nose to try n get that clip in place. Took about 1.5hrs to get the bulbs in for me lol
@@WICKEDAUTO1 I just don't see how they will go. The ones I have won't even fit in the hole. I know what you mean with the clip I think. We were using needle nose as well and my Dad and I both couldn't get it down. The hole its self wasn't big enough. They were suppose to go down and twist into place. They had the little titties on them and everything. I don't think they sent the right ones but who knows lol. I will look over your video and watch it. What a mess lol
@@WICKEDAUTO1 I have the raptor light splitter hooked up and the alpharex harness hooked up. Only the driver side c light comes on at full brightness. Wondering if it's because of the raptor light splitter.
@@jc24_zr2 did you ever get yours to work? I’m having the same issue now and can’t seem to figure out what to do. My LED plank on the passenger side won’t come on but the driver side works perfect
@@dviddy3 I took the raptor light splitter out and had no more issues after that with mine. Far as I can guess it was causing high resistance for some reason.
WickedF150 you mentioned plugging to right port with positive negative, but the wiring doesn’t have indication which one is positive or negative. The wires are blue and black? Which one positive ?
@@wampayb419 black is "usually" a negative but just plug it in and test that they work before you put it back together. I got it on the first shot on my driver side but had to flip it around on the passenger
I just installed the Alpharex and headlights and is it normal that my fog lights are on along with the Alpharex led strip on automatic mode? There is no fog light indicator on the dash and it wouldn’t turn off even after clicking the fog lamp switch while I. Automatic mode.
I forgot to say it’s during the day only, the low beams are off but the fog lights are on along with the led strip. At night everything works correctly
The housings not at all, these bulbs not at all. The hardest ones would definitely be F150LEDS bulbs just due to the larger fan but they are also the best bulbs I've had
WickedF150 were they just plug in or were there special modifications that needed to be done? Prior to installation I opened the low beam housing and couldn’t figure out how it was possible to run led bulbs in there
@@ijustmadethisup9357 o no, no modifications or anything, you just secure them the same way as the bulbs that come with it. The hard part it just getting the clip piece around the fan that's all. I found partially inserting the bulb to get the clip around the bulb where it needs to be and then lowering both at the same time helps
@@WICKEDAUTO1 That helps part of my question. Thx. Did your headlights come with the wiring of the bulbs on the inside of housing cause mine are. So I'm confused about that on how to convert it over to leds.
How do i get them to do that got mines connected and the led strip doesn’t light up I haven’t connected the gray wire because don’t know were it goes or how.
I wish I could have seen how the led bulbs fit in the housing. Stock housings didn’t do well with leds on the low beam spot I hear. Any insight or advise on the led install into the housings you can share. It appeared the leds were fanless. Correct? Thank you for all the videos.
That is a good point...my stock housing was extremely tight with LEDs but these have sooo much room. You will see when you get a set, there is absolutely no worry with the room. But no they do have a fan. I wouldnt buy a fan less LED for the heat.
also wondering which colour wire on the alpha is the positive? theres a black and a blue. Im assuming the black is + and the Blue is negative? Also can you show the wiring for the harness to the fuse kit? On the light side does the hardness plug into the loose white wire? thanks in advance!
I just said about this in your other comment lol I am not sure which color is which, I didnt pay attention to that. I got the driver side right first time but tested them before bolting back in and had to flip the passenger side. I shouldve shown the harness in the video, for that I apologize. But it is super easy once you do it. yes, you connect those to the white ones on the housing, the red n black to the battery and then just put in the add a fuse. I just zip tied the wire to the driver side across the hoses in the front.
WickedF150 awesome thanks for your help. I watched another video too and I think I got it down to attempt the install tonight. Did you just use a spare fuse spot?
@@WICKEDAUTO1 thanks! I got it all done. I am very happy with it. All though I am finding the hikari give me that weird jagged light beam. is that normal? do you have that? or should I reposition the bulb?
@@andrewward4246 do you mean the same pattern I have in the video? I had that with the halogens as well. I'm going to adjust them tomorrow and will let you know if it helps at all.
Curious how the Alpharex headlights are holding up. Looking at getting a pair for my 17. Also wanted to know how well the F150LED’s headlights are doing well with some use. Thanks!
No issues with either at all! Have had the housings since july and the F150LEDS since sept/October so definitely still very happy with both having zero issues
No? It's just added the plank harness for the headlights and swapping LEDs instead of halogens they came with. What would that matter anyway? Nothing is just "rigged"
Just added the Top Gear to a 2019 F150 and I mean they are exactly like these. I don't see any difference, They look great.
Looks good, super bright

great truck good mods
constructive criticism
use a micro fiber towel wipe your lens. Seems oily and makws vids look hazy. try it out before you record might make a huge difference
fyi stick led headlights suck bad i wish my truck didnt have it
i have the alpharex pros...the sequential feature is absolutley cooler looking makes it look high end...i was going to comment on the drl but i noticed at the end of the video you put the relay on...looks awesome bro...love the truck!! had a question on the hikari led, are they all the same setup with that plug on the back ? or is there a certain type to buy with the alpharex?
Did you have to order a LED conversion kit or did they fit into the OEM low beam harness? Great video btw
The bulbs fit perfectly, didnt have to modify or order anything special
@@WICKEDAUTO1 I wonder if they all work like that was looking at the same brand just brighter output
@@CarlosAragob yes they should but I would definitely recommend f150leds. By far the best bulbs ive had!!
I’ve got the same lights but sometimes the passenger side led strip and grill lights don’t come on yet the low and high beam works fine
Please help
Installing mines today how the hell did u get the top light cover off... I've been turning for to long lol 🙈
You mean the dust cover? Just unscrews lol
@@WICKEDAUTO1 yea I Kno the high beams came off after a turn ...the lows just keep turning LMAO
@@pacmandagreat07 hmm yea that cant be good lol
@@WICKEDAUTO1 lol I'll keep turning til it decides what it wants to do I also saw on the site u can keep the drls Amber ..kinda interesting ... I'll keep u posted
Looks great man, thanks for the videos
To me the Nova series look good I think it's a price you don't like
Morimoto XB LED headlight assemblies, the only way to go! I love my new lights!
Do you happen to recall which wire color was positive and which was negative on the inside of the Alpharex housings (ie after you remove the dust cover on the low beam projector)?
Not a clue no sorry
Did you put led bulbs in the tri bar signals of the housings? I've seen a few videos where the signal in those spots blink out of sync with the drl bar signal
If I remember correctly there is no bulb for that, you plug their wires into the stock bulb housing so it's w.e. they already have on there but I had no issues with not being in sync
I installed my raptor style grill with amber lights and alpharex headlights this weekend. I spliced my raptor lights into factory amber light harness. Everything seems to work fine except for the arrow on my dash. It hyper flashes when signaling left but doesn't do it when signaling right. Did you have this issue? Did I miss something? I know there is more load on that part of the system but not sure what to do.
I would think it would actually be the opposite. LEDs sometimes tend to cause that due to requiring less power than halogen so the truck thinks the bulb it out but with the raptor lights added it'd be more power so that shouldnt cause it. Have you made sure all other lights are working on the driver side? Turns, parking,, lows/highs, fogs and rear turns, brake and back up. If all bulbs are good and you would like to remove the hyperflash you can through forscan
Are the high and low beams the same with this bulb? Like if I want both high and low beam leds do I just need to purchase another pair of the hikaris?
Yes both bulbs are h7s. I would go with F150LEDS actually. That's what I have now and they are amazing!!!
I've got the same raptor grill light kit as your and just ordered these alpha rex headlights. Did you ever figure out the problem of the 1 plank not working like the other
Both sides are to do it, once I hooked up the harness they both did it.
Quick question: In one of the comments you said you used fuse #97 but the instructions say to use #36. Can you confirm that you used #97?
I actually used #74, it's for trailer tow back up lamps. 36 is vehicle power and I'm not comfortable tapping into something so important
I didn’t connect my DRL harness and both of mine blink amber first and then switch to white.
That is correct, mine did not due to having the raptor lights piggy backed on them
Got this same set and I've hooked up the drl harness. I see in the first part of your video the passenger side amber light is darker than the drivers side. Then second half of the video they are the same. What did you do to fix that as I'm having that exact issue right now. All other functions are working normally.
I unplugged the raptor lights that was connected to the lights
Did you have to open the headlight housing to replace the bulbs? Or can you access them through the dust caps?
Through the dust caps
Hi, does the wiring harness comes with the headlights or did you bought it and where? Thanks!
You only need to buy the add a fuse.. look in the description
I order exactly same LED lightbulb , just waiting on shipping.
where did you get your led grill lights? Everyone sells amber, but the white looks awesome.
Custom auto works but I'll sell you mine, have an stx grill now and cant use it.
How do you get the bulbs to stay in place!? It’s not a twist in place type. The metal bracket doesn’t seem to hold my bulbs solid in place
It does hold them tight in place, make sure both sides of the metal spring thing are around the bulb tight pinning the bulb down
@@WICKEDAUTO1 haven’t had any problems with yours?
@@chrisj5.0 nope not one
@@WICKEDAUTO1 oh ok I guess I’ll have to give it another try, what positing do you have yours in? Up and down or left and right?
@@chrisj5.0 chips always at 3 and 9 position
After installing the harness does the brightness stay on after you put it in drive or is it only brighter in park
Have not checked but plenty bright for me
Hey what harness are you talking about I wanna make my white lights brighter?
The wires that come with them that you need to hook up to the add a fuse
I did LEDs on mine and I can't see shit ordered a mitsumoto HID kit
Did you need any kind of special resistors or anything did it pop up on the dash?
Nope didnt need anything nor did it cause any issues
Did you use a 10 amp add a fuse? I accidentally bought a 5 amp. Would that suffice? Or do I absolutely need a 10 amp?
I believe mine is a 5 and used a 10amp fuse from the box. 74 others have had better luck with 78 for w.e. reason as well
@@WICKEDAUTO1 I've heard fuse 36 or 10 from someone at alpharex. That's good I'll stick with my 5 amp and then pull a 10 amp fuse
So I got the same Alpharex how difficult to install the LED is it plug n play
Yes, it is the same as changing any bulb
Random question about your wheels and tires. Are the wheels the stock sport edition and what size tires are on them? Thank you.
Yes, 18in rims with 295/70/18 with 1/2in spacer
WickedF150 thank you. Great videos!!
I know this is an old video but does anyone know if the dust cover cap on the alpharex house these hikari h7 with no issue or do I need a larger cap?
Plenty of room
Thank you bro I appreciate the reply. I honestly have only ever subscribed to 2 channels and felt obligated To do so with yours! You have pumped out so much quality material to help with decisions. Thank you!
When you go to high beam does the low beam stay on too? Reason I ask is I got 4 of the Hikari H7 bulbs that you used. I am hoping that was the right thing to do, but if the TOP H7 bulb cuts off and the bottom cuts on at high beam then it is essentially the same... Right?
Mine stay on yes because I changed that in forscan awhile back. You are correct in the highs and lows are the same h7s and whenever I do change the highs I'll order the same.
Sow you can fit the same leds on Low & High Beam?
Did the bulbs throw an error code for u?
Nope
Have you had a chance to figure out the raptor light wiring? I will be installing the same lights and my raptor grill with lights hopefully in the next week or 2. I have seen where there has been issues when splicing the raptor lights into the headlight marker light harness. Alpharex suggested to run the harness into the fuse box that has ignition. What did you do for your wiring or what would you suggest? Thanks in advance.
The raptor lights don't affect the Alpharex at all, once i hooked up the headlights to the fuse box both housings did the same thing.
@@WICKEDAUTO1 Cool. So I should be able to splice into the amber marker light wiring with no issues? Again, I really appreciate all the help.
@@kennethaldous7028 yep, I spliced into it for my grill n havent had any issues
How did you orientate the bulbs in the housing? 12/6 or 9/3
3/9
@@WICKEDAUTO1 so the led it’s self is at 3/9 side to side. I was told up and down. Let’s change and see how they look. Thanks.
Do you need to purchase bulbs also?
You can buy them with a set of LEDs but if not the pro series(what I have) comes with halogens.
Why not Morimoto’s?
Dont like the multi projector look, looks like spider eyes to me
I hooked it up today but the driver side led strip doesnt come on now that I connected the raptor lights harness. Any suggestions?
Doesnt come on at all? Did you do the add a fuse and connect them?
@@WICKEDAUTO1 I added the fuse tap but the first spot wouldnt seat in properly. They came on today super faint with the low beam but if I turn drl off in settings, they do not come on at all
@@1515chollins well yea leave your lights in auto, but they of course need to be seated in the whole way. I use fuse 74 but just yesterday a gentleman said 78 worked better for him
I just bought these headlights was wondering what fuse you tapped into?
I believe I used 74, it's for the trailer tow back up lamps so nothing important would be messed up if it blew
do you have the MK5s from F150 LEDs? Im assuming they will fit into the Alpharex housing? Also do you recommend me getting the harness? Im looking to install this myself and have never done anything like it so im nervous im going to mess something up or not have the right parts
I have the F150LEDS bulbs now and absolutely love them. They are a pain to get in due to Alpharex design but its possible and worth it!! Not sure what you mean about getting a harness though
@@WICKEDAUTO1 I guess my question is does the harness make that big of a difference for the brightness on the DRL? Will the DRL stay on during the daytime if I have my lights switch to Auto? I like the stripe of light that borders the edge so I would like for it to be on both during the day and night
@@marktirondola5555 yep mine are on at all times. I think it made a noticeable difference in brightness hooking up the harness plus it's really not difficult at all, you just plug it in the only extra piece you need is the add a fuse
@@WICKEDAUTO1 good to know, thank you bro I appreciate it!
So what do the headlight bulbs plug into being they aren’t the normal plugs ?
Im confused by what your asking... the bulbs themselves? It's the same as any headlight bulb, they plug into the wires inside the housing. Many manufacturers use different size bulbs they still plug into wires inside
WickedF150 ahh I gotcha. I have the normal h11 in my factory housing. About to get the alpharex so makes sense. Thank you. And the plank harness comes with the headlights correct ?
@@Matthewg-yn9vx yes that's part of the housing itself
Are you guys still happy with the lights?
No issues?
Housings yes absolutely, the bulbs no I wasnt, F150leds is the way to go!
WICKEDRIDESZ what would you recommend for new bulbs?
How are these bulbs holding up so far?
Got rid of those after probably a month. They werent bad but I did have a line up the middle of the road where they didnt shine
WICKEDF150 you went back to halogens?
Hows night driving?
Its not bad, lights up plenty but will say the last set of LEDs with stock housing lit up the road alil better.
Hi bud...i have question..if you put your light in auto mode in daytime your headlight ang led stripe is ON together or only the headlights?
Both are on together but only because I made it that way with forscan. It normally would just be the white stripe

When I turn on the truck with the remote one headlight stay amber and the other white. When i use the key to fully start the truck the light change to white. This is the first time the headlights do something like this. Any ideas why this is happening
I actually have no idea on that, if it didnt come on at all, ok but not sure why it would come on but stay amber and only one does it. Do you have anything else tied into either light?
No

WickedF150 ok Sent the videos to your messenger on facebook
Aren't the bulbs for the F150 low and high beams H11, not H7?
That's correct, obviously that is not a stock headlight housing so it calls for different bulbs
@@WICKEDAUTO1 I'm only asking because I just purchased the same headlights for my 2018 and I saw that the bulb size was H11.
@@GrizzlyCompany not sure what you mean but if you have stock housings then h11 or h9 will work. If you have Alpharex then you need h7 only
@@WICKEDAUTO1 I purchased the Alpharex headlights for my F150. I want LEDs for the low and high beam so I looked up what bulbs I needed and it recommended H11s. However you used H7s and obviously it worked so I'll order the H7s.
@@GrizzlyCompany yes absolutely get h7s. Those are the style bulbs the Alpharex take
Might be a dumb question but can i buy the same Hikari H7's for high and low beams? Or are high and low 2 different brightness's?
Nope just any h7 bulb for either will work, theres no difference between them just how they are aimed in the housing
WickedF150 awesome thanks! I think i'll try Hikari since the f150 LED's are so expensive with the frame rate, did you need that canbus thing with your hikari or just plug and play? I dont mind if they're a little dim i just dont want and hyper flash or flicker
@@habsexperiance5548 these ones I had for a bit didnt flicker at all but if your not going to get F150LEDS I'd suggest auxbeam over hikari. This set the pattern was off just a bit and a better set a buddy got for the anzo video I installed, those bulbs needed resistors just to be able to plug them in and you had to buy them separately
WickedF150 so which ones needed the resistors? Hikari or Auxbeam?
@@habsexperiance5548 the better hikari bulbs. Auxbeam comes with them
Hey man, did your headlights come with the bulbs that “clip” in? Like the old school style...or did they come with the bulbs that can be screwed out and in. I ordered these headlights and got LED aftermarket H7 bulbs from f150leds and they don’t fit because my headlights have the clip in bulbs instead of screwing in. Just curious what your thoughts are. Thank you for your time. Love the channel!
yes they clip in, so do the F150LEDS, those are the bulbs i have now. if your saying they screw in then either you didnt specify you needed h7s when ordering or they sent the wrong ones. now i will say those bulbs are horrible to try to get in there. i had to partially set the bulb in, put the clip piece around thr bulb and push/slide both down at once.
@@WICKEDAUTO1 hmmm... Well my dad and I both tried to get them to work and we just thought there was no way at all they would fit. I did specify the H7 aftermarket but the fan on the back is so big it won't even think about going down into the housing. On my label I got from f150LED it says aftermarket H7. I think they may have sent me the wrong one maybe.. .but everything on the order had the right stuff. The back of my housing has the clip that you have to pinch to get it to release and when we went to put the new LED bulb in it was to big to even slide down in the housing. I just figured that ALPHAREX gave me an outdated headlight. I can't find a youtube video anywhere that shows exactly how to put them in or what they look like out of the box or anything so I feel like I'm going into this completely blind lol. Thanks so much for helping and answering my questions.
The ones I have right now you set in and twist... I need the ones that set in and you push down with the spring and clip. I think they sent the wrong ones.
@@joshbooker3583 th-cam.com/video/jXuT8wjuMJA/w-d-xo.html
There's my video on the F150LEDS, does sound like you got the right ones. They are extremely difficult to get thr clip around. Like I said partially put the bulb in, put the clip around the bulb then push/slide them both down. Definitely need needle nose to try n get that clip in place. Took about 1.5hrs to get the bulbs in for me lol
@@WICKEDAUTO1 I just don't see how they will go. The ones I have won't even fit in the hole. I know what you mean with the clip I think. We were using needle nose as well and my Dad and I both couldn't get it down. The hole its self wasn't big enough. They were suppose to go down and twist into place. They had the little titties on them and everything. I don't think they sent the right ones but who knows lol. I will look over your video and watch it. What a mess lol
Did you find another way to make the raptor lights work without the splitter harness?
They worked just fine, once installed the harness both sides did it
@@WICKEDAUTO1 I have the raptor light splitter hooked up and the alpharex harness hooked up. Only the driver side c light comes on at full brightness. Wondering if it's because of the raptor light splitter.
@@jc24_zr2 hmm try removing the splitter and see what happens then. Mine was fine once I did the alpha harness
@@jc24_zr2 did you ever get yours to work? I’m having the same issue now and can’t seem to figure out what to do. My LED plank on the passenger side won’t come on but the driver side works perfect
@@dviddy3 I took the raptor light splitter out and had no more issues after that with mine. Far as I can guess it was causing high resistance for some reason.
Is there a video on how to install the harness
No I did not video that, that's my bad but it's super simple. You just plug into the housings itself and then to the add a fuse.
@@WICKEDAUTO1 do you have add the fuse adapter you did or is that optional? Thanks for the vids

Can you link the f150 led lights that you currently used? I’m trying to get the best out of mine when it’s time to install it next week.
All the links are actually in the newest video. I update them on each one
WickedF150 you mentioned plugging to right port with positive negative, but the wiring doesn’t have indication which one is positive or negative. The wires are blue and black? Which one positive ?
@@wampayb419 black is "usually" a negative but just plug it in and test that they work before you put it back together. I got it on the first shot on my driver side but had to flip it around on the passenger
I just installed the Alpharex and headlights and is it normal that my fog lights are on along with the Alpharex led strip on automatic mode? There is no fog light indicator on the dash and it wouldn’t turn off even after clicking the fog lamp switch while I. Automatic mode.
I forgot to say it’s during the day only, the low beams are off but the fog lights are on along with the led strip. At night everything works correctly
Where does the plug for the led lights go?
What do you mean, could you please clarify
@@WICKEDAUTO1 the LED bulb has a plug coming out of it. Where does that plug into? The headlight housing?
@@1515chollins yes, it plugs into the existing wiring
Appreciate it man. Ordered the whole setup. We will see how it goes.
Mind me asking how hard was it to put in LEDs?
The housings not at all, these bulbs not at all. The hardest ones would definitely be F150LEDS bulbs just due to the larger fan but they are also the best bulbs I've had
WickedF150 were they just plug in or were there special modifications that needed to be done? Prior to installation I opened the low beam housing and couldn’t figure out how it was possible to run led bulbs in there
@@ijustmadethisup9357 o no, no modifications or anything, you just secure them the same way as the bulbs that come with it. The hard part it just getting the clip piece around the fan that's all. I found partially inserting the bulb to get the clip around the bulb where it needs to be and then lowering both at the same time helps
Hot dammit wish I would have known that before. Now gotta do it all over again lol thanks man I hope it works.
@@WICKEDAUTO1 That helps part of my question. Thx. Did your headlights come with the wiring of the bulbs on the inside of housing cause mine are. So I'm confused about that on how to convert it over to leds.
Are the Headlights leds all ways on
Yes they are, while in drive unless you change them with forscan
How do i get them to do that got mines connected and the led strip doesn’t light up I haven’t connected the gray wire because don’t know were it goes or how.
They do light up bout only at night or if i turn the lights on. The planks don’t stay on during the day , the drl do stay on at all times.
Can u pls help me i been trying to figure it out for the pass 3 days. Thanks
This is my personal email. Twistedpixelscorp@gmail
I wish I could have seen how the led bulbs fit in the housing. Stock housings didn’t do well with leds on the low beam spot I hear. Any insight or advise on the led install into the housings you can share. It appeared the leds were fanless. Correct? Thank you for all the videos.
That is a good point...my stock housing was extremely tight with LEDs but these have sooo much room. You will see when you get a set, there is absolutely no worry with the room. But no they do have a fan. I wouldnt buy a fan less LED for the heat.
WickedF150 what fuse did you go to in the fuse box? Thank you for the redponse
@@wwldman #97, the diagram is in your user manual.
WickedF150 thanks!!
@@wwldman thank you for watching!
also wondering which colour wire on the alpha is the positive? theres a black and a blue. Im assuming the black is + and the Blue is negative? Also can you show the wiring for the harness to the fuse kit? On the light side does the hardness plug into the loose white wire? thanks in advance!
I just said about this in your other comment lol I am not sure which color is which, I didnt pay attention to that. I got the driver side right first time but tested them before bolting back in and had to flip the passenger side. I shouldve shown the harness in the video, for that I apologize. But it is super easy once you do it. yes, you connect those to the white ones on the housing, the red n black to the battery and then just put in the add a fuse. I just zip tied the wire to the driver side across the hoses in the front.
WickedF150 awesome thanks for your help. I watched another video too and I think I got it down to attempt the install tonight. Did you just use a spare fuse spot?

@@WICKEDAUTO1 thanks! I got it all done. I am very happy with it. All though I am finding the hikari give me that weird jagged light beam. is that normal? do you have that? or should I reposition the bulb?
@@andrewward4246 do you mean the same pattern I have in the video? I had that with the halogens as well. I'm going to adjust them tomorrow and will let you know if it helps at all.
Curious how the Alpharex headlights are holding up. Looking at getting a pair for my 17. Also wanted to know how well the F150LED’s headlights are doing well with some use. Thanks!
No issues with either at all! Have had the housings since july and the F150LEDS since sept/October so definitely still very happy with both having zero issues
Is this a poor man's mod?
No? It's just added the plank harness for the headlights and swapping LEDs instead of halogens they came with. What would that matter anyway? Nothing is just "rigged"
