AlphaRex Headlights, worth the upgrade?

Installing AlphaRex Nova Series headlights into my Lexus GX460. Fitment applications are all GX460 2014-2019. Definitely an upgrade from the old headlights to give your GX a modern look with nearly the same light output along with its sequential turn signals. Link below for the headlights.

Nice intro. Subbed!

Love your build. Are you happy with the light output of the AlphaRex? I was expecting it to be a bit more dramatic.

[@exiong81]

@@up2top thanks! I’m content with it. The cooler light temperature output “appears” brighter but nothing beats OEM. The newer look and sequential turn signals are the highlights for these in my opinion. Light output leaves some room for desire if you know what to look for but I think anyone who isn’t technical will enjoy these, especially if you have a 2014-2019 model.

Had Alpha Rex on my 2018 GX460 and the quality of the headlights is garbage. Gloss black finish inside had a bunch of orange peel and stuck on hair. Bezels where the gloss black is on the inside I could see what looked like tape lines with fine edges of chrome behind the paint showing. Also the edges of the lights where they meet the fender are totally clear so I was able to see the fender lip where the lights sit. OEM lights have the part of the headlights where they meet the fender hazed out so you cant see the inner lip of the fender where the lights sit. Light output was good but that was about it. I would stick with OEM.

@@bb5op585 interesting but also not surprising. I personally feel most aftermarket companies will fall short on their QC with some defects making it out to the public. That being said, sorry to hear your experience. So far mine has been pleasant and hoping they hold out for years to come but will most definitely keep an eye out for issues you’ve mentioned. I still have my OEM sitting in the box as a backup in case something happens to these but thank you for sharing, really appreciate it.

[@golfnerd3107]

Only issue I have is that these lights are $700 a set on Alibaba from the same factory that alpha Rex is buying them from. It would depend on how good their CS whether the 2.5x price is worth it. Because good luck dealing with a Chinese factory.

[@exiong81]

@@golfnerd3107 I can’t say I’ve done the comparison or if anyone has spent the time to try both to compare but the only thing to note is that I have the warranty with them. How they’ll honor it should something go defective only time will tell cause I have heard both positive and negative feedback on the service. The quality from my inspection seems good and the install was a breeze but hopefully they’ll last me for years and if not, the stock ones are there for back up. I wouldn’t doubt that both AlphaRex and Attica get their supplies from the same place but AlphaRex has many applications so if they’re QC was horrible, it would go across the board and would be known just like BXbuilt, they went down crashing though they’re a custom retrofit for headlights and whatnot but more than likely source the parts from the same area.

If you had problems, why did you warranty it out, and plus alpharex is one of the good aftermarket headlight companies out compared to spyder and etc

Is OEM plug and play?

[@justin466]

These lights are too clean man good job! I have a question doesn't the OEM 2020 LEXUS GX headlights work too on the older generation lights. I saw a video of a guy installing them too and its essentially plug and play? Just curious as I know with OEM LEXUS parts they just have better reliability but it comes at a great cost. Thanks

[@exiong81]

@@justin466 they’re really clean! Thank you! I can’t 100% confirm but I heard from reading in the GXOR group on FB that they weren’t compatible, something about the wiring or the ecm not being compatible but to be honest, I haven’t heard anyone who has successfully installed a set of 2020+ OEM in earlier 2019 and older models. Which video was that of who installed OEM 2020 headlights or where you seen it from?

What is that grill? Looks great

[@exiong81]

@@BullseyeHTX an aftermarket grille you can find on eBay. Look under “TRD style grille GX460” and you’ll find it.
