AlphaRex Headlights Finally Out for Ford Ranger 2024+ & Ford Ranger Raptor 24+

I've been waiting on these since SEMA. Here is a link to the only video I could find. Light Video

It's saying 4-5 days shipping on my end. Any R6G members wanting to grab a set DM for a discount. I just ordered some. I like that you can go from white or amber, switchback, and the black housing.

They are on my site and AlphaRex. AlphaRex on DirtD

Admin, I apologize if this is the incorrect posting spot, I couldn't figure out where to post. My truck is fast, but I am slow.

Cool.

Are these brighter than the factory lights? The descriptions are somewhat vague on actual performance.

Yeah and video is non existent, at least for me. I can order them but it doesn't "show" much. The sets with the 4 lights in them, i would assume would be. I've yet to get them in, to try out.

OK. I would ASSume they're a lot brighter than OEM, but I'm definitely looking forward to your evaluation. I have no interest in the flashy features and strobe effects, but a brighter light is always a good thing.

I've actually been very happy with the stock headlights, especially when you program the matrix headlight functionality. It's the fog lights that I've got a problem with. It's a shame I can't use my old Diode Dynamics fogs from my 5th Gen Ranger in the same housing because I loved those things

Dumb question...what is the matrix functionality? I feel like I've read something on here about it before but can't remember. Is it done through forscan?

So these are NOT matrix style with shutter/focus, etc?

It's a selective high beam system that will turn off small sections of the light's profile so that you don't blind other drivers. It's also called anti-dazzle I believe. I turned mine on with Forscan, the coding is in the master spreadsheet that's on the forum

I poured through the product pages on alpha rex's website and I don't see any mention of the having matrix capabilities, but I'm not terribly surprised. It's a very complex system that integrates with the truck's cameras so not exactly something I'd expect any aftermarket to be able to tie into.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's still a good upgrade for the non matrix headlight trucks

My 2¢...
Enjoy AM goodies, upgrades on my all vehicles...probably too many, too much 🤑 💸

IMO, this one is a bit of a stretch - - particularly for current Gen/new warranted RR. With that, considering imbalanced trade-offs and integration losses of a well designed already installed, existing factory LED system; why?
If these were intended for previous Gens or older systems with less capable lighting tech, then certainly makes sense to consider.

Supremely smarter and less risky long-term to add any number of optional auxiliary lighting models, types, etc. Essentially, a plethora of solutions available to augment most any perceived lighting deficits.

Interested to see how many adapt this AM selection.
Some say...'jus because you can don't mean you should'.
That said - "To each his own", right?

BTW, for those with US spec RR Gen6...it takes 10min to code the LED matrix/anti-dazzle function via Forscan. Offers another 'level-up' feature for lighting performance along with tangible upgrade merely awaiting owner activation.

alpha rex atleast in the past has been a down grade over the factory led headlights in the last 2 vehicles I've owned. Both on the third gen tacoma and the va chasis wrx. Curious to see if these are an upgrade or just have light dances to make them look more premium.

laughable...that from a kite "av8r"; jus blows!

An outstanding feature this forum provides is the 'IGNORE' function.
With that, based on av8r multiple poor taste, nonsensical posts read from this self proclaimed 'genius'- - cancelling a no value add, ignoramus.

Works wonderfully... :clap:

I've started to try it a few times and forget about it. @JustNick You can leave your bright lights on, yes?
