GLAZE_TACO - HOW TO INSTALL ALPHAREX HEADLIGHTS IN TACOMA!

[@gregorylopez6024]

I had the same problem. I had no idea what to do with the extra wires on the passenger side. No body was showing how to wire or connect the passenger side. Thanks for the video.

[@GlazeDc5]

No prob glad i could help

[@codyfield6859]

Dude, thank you for doing BOTH sides!

[@Dugito]

Did you have to adjust where they aim at all? After installing mine and using them at night I realized one side is aiming too high and the other too low. I see where the adjustment tab is, will I have to remove the washer fluid reservoir? There’s just not enough space to get a screwdriver in there.

[@GlazeDc5]

I adjusted it later that night. Needs to be 25 feet from a wall and about 4 feet high if i remember correctly. And no you do not need to remove the reservoir. All you need is an 8mm wrench and your good to go

[@Dugito]

@@GlazeDc5 Perfect. I appreciate the reply!

[@GlazeDc5]

No prob at all

[@leel9611]

Nice video man. Yes you are the only one that shows what to do with the passenger side, thank you!!!!! I installed mine the other day but the weird thing is the DRLs only work in the parking light mode not with my DRL mode. Is yours the same? This is frustrating. Thanks for any help

[@GlazeDc5]

Your very welcome. Someone had the same issue. Not quit sure why to be honest. Idk if he ever fixed.it

[@leel9611]

@@GlazeDc5 ok so today I leave work , I have it on DRL while the truck is running and they worked. Haha I don’t get it. Maybe the truck has to be running for the DRL to stay on by themselves? Hopefully anyone else having this issue can try it and see if it works for them. Thanks again

[@GlazeDc5]

No prob glad it worked. Yes truck needs to be on for the drls to work. They will turn off automatically with truck off

[@erickgomez1798]

I just installed my headlights but they don’t do the dance when unlock, you mentioned something in the video why the don’t do the dance in that time of the video, and DRL’s don’t work either, It’s frustrating

[@GlazeDc5]

@@erickgomez1798 is your drl switched on? Also is the truck running and the drl still dont work?

[@elmercanales5871]

So did you didn’t do anything with those two wires on the passenger side headlight?

[@Skyler-ov4bl]

Hey man! So I got these headlights and my 4 bulbs on the passenger side don’t work… I haven’t spliced the wires yet but I was wondering if I have to splice it for those to work?

[@GlazeDc5]

Aslong as you follow the directions in the video they should work brother. Splicing I believe was only to get the drls to work properly. Everything else should be plug and play. I don't remember off the top of my head since it's been a few years

[@White.trd.tacoma]

I’m glad you did the passenger side, all the other videos show the driver side but I didn’t know what to do with the blank connector. Thanks

[@GlazeDc5]

No prob mam, thx for the support

[@richierich408]

Just thinking ahead. What if the light goes out can you replace just the bulb or will you have to buy another headlight?

[@GlazeDc5]

Honestly not sure. I have them on my rsx and they are about 10 years old and still going strong.

[@richierich408]

@@GlazeDc5 thank you for the reply. I'll definitely do some more research on them. Thanks. Btw really clean dc5 👌🤘

[@luisrosario363]

What was the most difficult part of the installation process? It's a little daunting to me taking apart my 2 month old purchase.

[@jayc6229]

Hardest part was just the bumper and black guards on the fenders. Other wise super simple

[@hashimwaheed4055]

Is the DRL bulb replaceable??? I would really like to get amber on DRL

[@GlazeDc5]

No unfortunately

[@peterbalsitis9100]

Mine do the start up sequence and everything but don’t turn to white after. The bulbs are white but not the drl bar, stays amber.

[@alvindo7]

What about the "DRL" function...does your DRL light up without the fogs or the headlights?

[@GlazeDc5]

Yes they work independently. I can keep the fogs and headlights off and the drl will stay on. Or just fog lights w.o headlights fully on, the drl will stay on.

[@alvindo7]

@@GlazeDc5 cause I did the same thing as you and my my drls under the DRL position in the car does not light up the drls only during the day. However when I put it on the setting with the two lights (which I think looks more like wings) I can have the drls on but independently turn off the fogs. Just annoying to be honest.

[@GlazeDc5]

Hmm id have to double check that. My fog light switch stays on at all times. As far as the headlights when i switch to drl they stay on at all times. But ill double check on what you said

[@alvindo7]

@@GlazeDc5 right and that’s what I want is to just flip the switch to headlights on and everything comes on. I did exactly like your video.

[@GlazeDc5]

@@alvindo7 what model tacoma do you have?

[@marcoblv]

Truck and lights look great! Is the additional wiring harness (the one you attach to the battery) just for the lock/unlock light show, or is it necessary for overall function? Thank you! PS: The fog lights work with running lights only on my stock headlight setup (Diode Dynamics ambers for fogs), Cheers!

[@GlazeDc5]

Thx you! Its necessary for the lock and unlock light show! Im definitely looking i to amber fogs as well!

[@fabiancastaneda8172]

If I am using the add a fuse, where do I connect it??

[@GlazeDc5]

Headlight fuse

[@luisrosario363]

Dumb question, what's the purpose of add a fuse? What does it do?

[@fishtacoma]

Best looking headlights out there!

[@GlazeDc5]

Agree!

[@edge35]

How did you resolve the issue at 14:25 where the DRL’s came on and didn’t appear to turn off again?

[@edge35]

I’m actually beginning to suspect that the wiring harness may not be compatible with my 2021 TRD Off-Road. As soon as I reconnect the battery the light dance plays and then the white DRLs come on and won’t turn off no matter what I do. Guess I’ll have to reach out to Alpha Rex and hope their customer service is better than their instructions…

[@GlazeDc5]

Hopefully you get it resolved!

[@danielhowell1640]

Those headlights don't come with installation instructions? I'd love to buy those headlights but I need both arms & legs, and my wife won't let me trade our firstborn.

[@GlazeDc5]

No unfortunately they do not

[@bboyguambomb]

So no need to do the passenger side?

[@danjuare83]

Hello Glaze, great videos this is the best I have found, I see a lot of people having an issue with the passenger side (same here) my side light or corner light (amber) on that side does not work also the DRL when position only for DRL do not turn everything else works fine and does the dance, what could be the problem? this are great lights but installing them are very frustrating, I would appreciate your help with this!

[@GlazeDc5]

I believe those who had this issue didnt have the DRL on their tacoma prior to purchasing these lights. If thats the case then the wiring has to be different. I havent figured out what the problem was for everyone else. Some people say it worked perfectly others say it didnt. I think production year plays a roll in how its wired. I could be wrong tho.

[@danjuare83]

@@GlazeDc5 thanks for your quick response, I did have them I have a 2017 TRD off-road, is been so frustrating this installation wish Alpha Rex had better instructions

[@GlazeDc5]

Yeah im sorry i cant be more help. I feel there maybe something different with the 2020 vs the 2017. I actually believe there is

[@danjuare83]

@@GlazeDc5 so I figure while The truck is running they do work in its own DRL position, but when truck is not running they don’t, as far as the side light May be that I did not connect it right, but thanks anyway your video was tremendous help on the passenger side, keep up the good work!

[@EpicLifestylz]

@@danjuare83did you ever figure out the side marker light? Mine is doing the same thing. When I fiddle the connection it comes on and off. But then all the sudden the whole light went off

[@raulvivas876]

So what happened with the red wire on the passenger side? Didn't need it or? Lol I'm a little confused to what thats supposed to connect to like I missed a part or something

No need to use it on the pass side. I did just plug it in and left it there lol.

@@GlazeDc5 ah okay. Thank you!

does those headlights come with amber DRLs? or did you modify them

Mine do not find with the amber drl. Only white. The new ones you can change between amber and white

Does the drl stay on all the time even though you have the headlights setting to off?

Yes they do ✌🏼

I am trying to install the passenger side. But my running light and the amber side marker on passenger side do not work. Any advice on what I did wrong?

[@GlazeDc5]

Hard to say since im not there. Could be anything. Does it work correctly on the driver side?

[@chaddaekino9002]

@@GlazeDc5 yes driver side works fine.

[@shelbygtrag5859]

Why don't they make direct plug and play? Not going to mess up my 2020 wiring to put these in. After watching whole vid , does look like plug and play. They look sic , have to get some!

[@GlazeDc5]

Actually they are plug and play. The splicing if the 2 wires are from the harness that comes with the headlights. You never splice into your factory harness so you can always go back to oem. The splicing of the grey to red is so it does the light dance when you lock and unlock doors. Other wise it does it only when vehicle starts. Thanks for the support and comment!

[@yibrancarrillo5579]

Great details. I just received mine on the mail. I’ll be installing soon.

[@GlazeDc5]

Good luck!

[@arturolara9878]

Es el mismo proceso de los dos lados carnalito es mi pregunta

[@Nick.Barnes]

thanks for the detailed video on the plastic tabs, i'll be installing these on mine this week and havent seen a video this detailed yet. i have a 2019 and the DRL and fogs could be on at the same time with stock configuration.

[@GlazeDc5]

Very welcome, new video will be up this week hopefully. Installed all new speakers in the truck. Good luck with your install

[@ConspiracyJ]

Wish i had seen this video before i started. Broke the orange and blue clip as well as the black clips on the fender. Thanfully im cutting them later so its not a big deal but it really pissed me off

[@Sary562]

Need help! So I installed these headlights and everything works as intended. The only issue I have is the passenger side headlights. Whenever I turn on my low beam, the drl and side markers don’t light up at the same time with the low beam. Driver side headlights is working perfectly. It’s just the passenger side that I have issue with.

[@GlazeDc5]

Check your fuse under the hood. Start there. Then unplug everything and replug it back in on that side. Not sure if theres a fusw for those as im not looking at the truck at this moment.

[@Sary562]

Thanks! This morning I tested it with the fog lights with low beam on and the passenger side headlights completely stopped working(drl, low beam) but everything on the driver side works. It’s frustrating bc these headlights isn’t cheap...

[@GlazeDc5]

Yeah im not too sure whats going on there. Try putting the stock light back in and see what happens. Did you follow everything to the T on my video? Also do you have a trd or an sr5?

[@Sary562]

2020 trd off road. I didn’t install the drl harness ( light dance). Maybe that’s the issue? I gotta install that? Idk but it sucks!

[@GlazeDc5]

@@Sary562 yes you do lol

[@rebornlegacy6641]

Will doing something like this void my warranty?

[@GlazeDc5]

I do not believe so because nothing is being spliced. You can always go back to factory by just unplugging everything and pluging factory harness into oem headlights . There is no cutting of oem harness

[@youtubeguy345]

no 😂 they are just headlights that are plug n play, I installed these and went to the toyota dealership to get an oil change and they didn’t say anything

[@gherrera303]
