We Do Lighting Better Because We Test! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
One of the most comprehensive videos I have ever seen. Great job, and thank you for doing the homework for us!
Our pleasure!
Exactly the information that I was looking for!
Thanks for this video comparison.
Living in a dark rural area, I was happy to see this because I am about to do some upgrades to my 2011 Ram.
Consideration must be made for oncomming traffic, I take no thrill in blinding them on low beams.
I have an aftermarket lightbar, that I use to light up the world and ditches when I have the road to myself.
loving the content, have you guys thought of testing the vland headlights for the 4th gen ram?
The video i needed!
You're welcome! 👌🏻
Great video. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
I prefer the AlphaRex Nova headlights. I had those on my 2003 Ram 2500 and I plan on adding them to my “new” 2016 Ram 2500 as soon as I can
Love the styling on the alpharex, was going to sell my morimotos XBs and buy brand new 5th gen style Alpha rex nova series but after watching this video im sticking with my Morimotos. Plus I had the XBs on 3 diffrent rams now. Should tell a person alot. I stand by Morimoto.
Good choice!
I have had nothing but trouble with the alpha rex. I'm changing mine to morimotos
Alpharex pro with a high quality HID kit is the best bang for your buck IMO
Can you do this exact test but for the 19+ ram 1500's?
Alpharex. Classy and still a heck of an upgrade
Great video
Thanks!
Love the videos. One reason why you would consider the alpharex pro would be if you currently have already upgraded to HID bulbs but are ready for the better housing.
Exactly 😎
However, if you have stock projectors, like I do. The pro model will need an extra adapter to work properly, according to their site.
Yea saves you from having to remove the hid kit
Great write up and detailed video!
I love the styling and look on those alpharex with the gen5 look, but I wished they did the blinker light differently, it's a bit too much with 3 led strips serving as blinker...
therefore I prefer the "regular" alpharex for the 4th gens. morimoto looks good to but they are quite expensive. a set of Pro lights with an upgraded bulb would be my go to. not maintenance free but i like that the bulbs can be switched out, call me old school but I prefer that.
I'd go with the alfarex Nova series, seeing as the low beam is a lot wider and shines on a bigger scale with a nice cuttoff yet. Yes, the morimoto is brighter, but the low beam is too much of a spot beam....if you have all these aftermarket lights adjusted correctly, they will shine as far as the other.
As a driver seeing one of these oncoming, I would much rather face a Morimoto than an Alpharex because the Morimoto keeps their intense light directed straight down the road, rather than scattering it all over. And since I'm considerate of those who share the road with my Ram, that seals the deal for me. Thanks for the review.
Ive got thr ARexx Luxx and they are pretty decent. You are right, thr down road proj3ction is weak, but the spread is really good. Im in Chattanooga, not far from you guys, and ive got to keep an eye on the suicidal deer this time of year. I REALLY wish ARexx would make the top of the line light with only 2 proejctors instead if 4. It just screams cheap and i hate the look. That was the deciding factor on the Luxx, despite being a less bright and less focused light.
Both the Nova and the XB look fantastic. I may learn towards the Nova simply as i am looking for more light directly in front on low beam for offroad driving as i have spot light bars for far off. Thoughts on this?
While both are great options, Alpharex does tend to have more foreground lighting which will light up the right directly in front of you. Keep in mind, this will take away from the distance lighting the XBs would provide when you're not driving off-road.
Alpharex is better for slower ditch driving, and the morimoto for more highway speed punch. (Less foreground light washout). Like others have stated morimoto XB combined with their fog lights, and you are golden. Best of both worlds in my opinion.
It's really the perfect combination!
I have such a weird question and have been looking for a front bumper bar for my 1500, love the one on this 1500 in this video? Is it custom or where did you purchase that!
This was a customer truck we used for the video, not sure about the bumper bar. Sorry man!
You can actually get projector led bulbs now. With a cutoff for reflector headlights. The bulb itself is an actual mini projector.
They do exist, but they're very large and definitely wouldn't fit in an aftermarket housing like the Alpharex Pro headlights.
I went with morimoto xb which are great but it definitely offends uninformed drivers, they see the dual led projectors and think you’re driving high beams on even though the amazing sharp cut off lines only ever get in peoples eyes when you’re going up a hill, otherwise it’s awesome. However i think the entry level alpharex with hid bulbs would be amazing lights
Question. Can you install GTR 2.0 LED and Mini LED in the Pro headlight housings instead of the halogens? Will all the wiring/equip fit?
Yes, you can use LEDs with the Pro headlights!
Is the beam height on the LUXX adjustable while on the truck? I put them in last night and the driver side is significantly higher than pax. Didn't have time to do more than try and stick a 7mm socket in the hole for the factory adjuster only to find nothing there, and didn't pay attention to the housing when I installed it.
There should be adjustment tabs on the back of the headlights - check out the last few steps in the Alpharex install guide where they mention the mounting bolts and aiming instructions: alpharexusa.com/09-ram-headlights-installation-guide/
Morimoto xb with some good fog lights and you’re golden
Morimoto makes fog lights, I have them in my Silverado and my daughters Altima
That's the perfect combination 👌🏻
Wonderful video. I have a question for anyone reading this comment.
I own a black 2015 Ram Big horn with a chrome grille and chrome bumper. Does anyone have a recommendation on what headlight and color scheme to go with? Lux chrome or black or moriomoto black with amber DRL or white DRL? Really struggling to pick what would look best.
The chrome headlight would definitely match the chrome grille/bumper 👀 But the Amber-DRL looks great on the Ram truck.
Cool breakdown of the headlight., why not throw in Lesem headlights? Seems like they are coming up and their design looks good
This comparison was done by popular request, we haven't heard of Lesem yet.
Definitely morimoto especially since they have the amber LED as well.
Morimoto has been around for a long time. What about Alpharex? They are close enough in performance and price, but I would sway to Morimoto because I keep my vehicles for a long time.
XB with good fogs your good to go
Alpharex seems to have more usable light in the immediate area, Morimoto have a very intense spot beam. Can’t go wrong with either but Alpharex might be more useful.
I agree
I’ve had both and as far as light right in front, alpharex was better. But, with some good fog lights like diode dynamics ss3, the morimoto is the best pick.
I wouldnt get alphas. I've had too many issues with mine.
Morimoto XB Hands down
We love Morimoto! 🥰
Ya but you dont want to blind other people do you?
The Morimoto XB LED headlights use bi-LED projectors, if aimed correctly you'd never blind oncoming traffic 👌🏻😎
are these flickery on the road???
@@jesssbe5point7 nope there perfect
Are the Alpharex Nova Services adjustable?
Yes, the NOVA series headlights are adjustable.
will these fit the 2019 1500 classics?
Yes, these will fit classic trucks as well.
I don't like the Morimoto XBs wonky cutoff.
I'd get the Nova, XB hybrid or Pro since I can upgrade that Halogen to a way better bulb.
That’s because they didn’t adjust the horizontal adjustment, once properly aligned the cutoff is straight, I went through the same thing with mine.
Why not put led bulbs on the alpha red pro??
You can install LEDs if you'd like! But at that cost, you could also get a full LED headlight such as the Luxx headlights.
I have a 21 HD , I can't find much on your site, can you help? Thanks
We have a ton of great options, check them out here: www.headlightrevolution.com/buyer-guide-by-vehicle/2021+Ram+2500_with_Halogen_Headlights

Can you tell us more on the warranty on the morimoto hb?
I have a gen 5 2500 and had the Alphrex Pro and the Light output at night was AWFUL. I tried running H7 LED Bulbs and
it had a weird pattern. I did ALOT more research and found the Mirimoto XB LED was the best bang.
There is Z E R O comparison to the 2. The Mirimoto's are better them OEM LED on the Gen 5.
I know this is not a fair comparison but I was under the assumption the Alpharex was LED as far as
the Headlights..... they are not, And the Sequential Turn signal that the Daytime Running lights
all flash togeather is kind of way overkill. The Mirimoto's has just the OEM location Turn Signal
that flashes and the Bottom Bar of the DRL dims which is Really nice. Also you can do Solid Turn
or Sequential, Which I choose Solid. Not a fan of the Sequential. I think they are worth every Penny
Just my $0.02 :)
Great review, thanks for sharing!
Morimoto XB have a led built in. The alpharex luxx series is pretty close with led built in. You're comparing the pro to the xb
I’d take the halogen one and throw LED bulbs in it. Pattern is very good.
Good idea, the Morimoto 2stroke 3.0 LEDs work very well with the Pro headlights!
@@HeadlightRevolution I was thinking some Auxitos or Hikari. It just seems like Morimoto has let their LED bulb tech stagnate/age while Auxito, Hikari and other brands have taken leaps ahead. But I get it, there’s more $$ to be made in headlamp assemblies, auxiliary lamps and such. I will admit the 2stroke 3.0 has very very good cutoff.
Morimoto XB's arriving today!!!! Stock output on the factory RAM headlights should be illegal!!!
Do they sell in pairs or singles
These headlights are sold as pairs.
My Alpha Rex low beams went out in less than a year. Not impressive
😞
I am finding wherever I can to report how terrible Alpha rex products are and their customer service. I had a set purchased for a toyota. Impossible to level them from the install and they did not want to help. Always the customers fault. I then had an issue that everyone kept flashing me and I later discovered the lights were constantly changing brightness on their own. shortly after that, the filled up with so much condensation that it looked like someone poured water into them. The units are not even a year old. I have been trying to work with Alpha Rex for months now and they keep telling me they are looking into it if I can ever get them to respond. Makes it impossible to drive your vehicle when the lights don’t work and there is no concern from the company to address. Absolutely horrible customer service.
Good to note, and thanks for sharing your experience! Hopefully they can step up and get this issue resolved.
Thank you for the response. unfortunately they are making no efforts and appears they have no intention to help. @@HeadlightRevolution
I’ll stick to my $200 knockoffs
To each their own 👀
@@HeadlightRevolution I mean they are sick don’t get me wrong… but $1500😅
Stay away form alpharex there warranty is terrible had them for 2.5 years the driver side low beam stopped working. I’m out of warranty and they can’t sell me a board they can’t repair it and they can’t sell me a single light ? wtf morimoto has 5 year warranty it’s a no brainer stay away from alpharex I spent $1800 for 2.5 years wtf terrible
Update I have the Morimoto XB they are a lot brighter then the alpharex stay away from alpharex
Just use led bulbs instead of halogens
