Those are sick... But dayum, I think I'll wait til I need to replace the ones I have now.
This company needs to make a grill with a led bar that match these lights that travel the full 360° oval of the grill.
Underrated comment for sure. I agree it would top it off
You dont need to light up the whole damn word for God sake. There's such a thing as too many lights
That looks beautiful that is by far the best light I’ve seen for that year
They are amazing, no better option for these trucks.
@@TheJimmysGarage I was going to do a nose swap 2015, not anymore. I love the look of the smaller grill and those lights together. you definitely know it’s a Ford front end but it has that little hint of a second GEN look to it.
These are sick. Great video!
Keep the video’s coming my new friend ! 🍺😎
truck looks nice man
Thank you!
I want them so bad for my ‘01. I Gotta do some cutting to fit them. Nice build you have going on!👍
Thank you!
Yea I did to do the typical dremeling to fit a 6.0 light on my 7.3.
I’m trying to figure out if I can set/wire the pro’s so that the light tubes stay on as amber. Did you notice anything different on the backside between the pro/lux? Alpharex says some of there models have the ability to “set” there lights to amber, not sure what that means though?
They lights are plug and play, they utilize the factory blinker signal to initiate the orange. The white comes on when running lights come on. There is an additional tap for a brighter white running light that is optional but I did connect this to 12v ignition so even in the day time I have the white light on. I would think if you swapped the blinker wire with the running light wire and run orange all the time.
Did you have any issues with aiming? The 03-04 stock lights have different asjusters than 05+. Seems like tou have to pull them and resinstall several times to make aiming adjustments ?
That's correct, luckily pulling them out is just 3 screws. It took me probably a half hour to get them aimed perfectly.
Your video is what made me decide on these lights for my wife’s 2002 Superduty. I have morimoto on my Dodge and have to say I like the quality of these Alpha Rex very much! Drl and turn signals work well, however only the upper projector is illuminating. When I activate the trucks high beams, the upper projector changes. In your video it looks like both upper and lower projectors illuminate. Did you experience this at all?
The upper projector is the Hi and Low beam. The lower projector is just a running light with very low power led bulb.
I bought these lights based on your review, knowing there may be some complications making them work in a 2000 Excursion. I don't have a 2005 to compare. Were your headlights plug and play or did you have to do any custom wiring?
They plug and play to a 2005 so all you need is an adapter for a 2000 to 2005 headlight. I believe I answered this question in other comments already and posted a link to the adapter.
If you search youtube on how to swap headlights from a 2005 into older model that should also give you the answer
Where can I order those lights,and what name?
I was hoping to do this to my ‘01, glad it still works! Can you do a follow up video on how you tapped the white lights in?
The white lights come on when you turn your headlight switch to running lights.
They also come with an additional harness if you wish for them to turn on when your truck is keyed on. You just have to tap the one trigger wire to a switched power source. I tapped to my stereo fuse.
01 and 02 fuse box(es) are different. I’m not sure if there are any switched fuses under the 01 hood. If you found any in your 01 I’d appreciate knowing which one 😅
Hey man how did your wire up the mirrors so they have running lights a turn signals?
Tapped the running light wire that goes to the running light bulb in the head light, same for blinkers.
What cab lights are you running? All goes well together
It's in the description but here is the link
amzn.to/3J54r8A
Howd you tap into the wiring for start up sequence
There is nothing to tap for that, when you turn your headlights on they the do the startup sequence. The pro series does not do this, it must be Luxx series or Nova Series
I have a 2000 7.3, i live the look of mine. But mine are no where near the brightness? The side marker/drl lights are fine, so not sure if its a wire problem and should just rewire my 20 yesr old wires or I'm missing something; or just faulty lights; in which case id be screwed since I've cut into the header and cant put my old ones back on and wait for a replacment.
Hey, why did you cut anything? If you use the plug and play adapters in the description they should work fine. The lower projector should come on when you turn your headlights on.
@@TheJimmysGarage I had to cut the header to fix the light assembly, since these 05-07 light's will not just fit right into the 99-04 style header. I had not cut any wire's just got he wire adapter's. And maybe the wires adapters are bad? Ill need to start by just checking ALL the wires for any tearing or bad connections first then just try new wires if they all look good. The truck is already a wire rats nest from previous owner's and needs to be gutted and cleaned out, have only been working on mechanically making her strong the last few months this was my first look update to the truck.
Man I’m having a hard time trying to convince myself to spend 750 on these and I think your vid may have done it haha. Those suckers are sexy where did you tap into for the led bar
LED light bar are running off fog switch
How did u get the original turn signal on the mirrors swapped out with the LED’s
amzn.to/3J3Zb5i
@@TheJimmysGarage I already bought those I meant like how did u physically swap them? Do the original turn signals just pop out?
ahh - czcams.com/video/3AMHFPD6L-Y/video.html
Hey mate I've got a 01 super in Australia can ypu make these fit into the 01 plastic nose cone? Looks like alot needs to be ground out. I was just going to fit the 05 plastic nose front
Hey the truck in the video is a 2002 just have to dremel some of the plastic core support to fit.
Did you have to rewire the blinker pigtails? Because mine ain't plugging into the rex supplied plug in the housing it's not much different but different enough.. i also have an 02 but upgraded to the 05 panel and lights everything has been plug and play til now.. also you tapped into fuse 8? For the start up? Looking at also running that
I used these - amzn.to/48JEDdw and didn't have to do anything with blinkers, was all plug and play.
For the running lights to stay on when the truck is switched on I tapped fuse 8.
@@TheJimmysGarage that's so weird in an 02? I had to splice the newer plug from my harness to fit i got that figured out i was just left with the running lights so thanks dude!! I'll probably come back to this whenever i get around to my roof lights cuz mine don't work rn and seeing yours do the start up flash is sexy 😂😂
@@UnMeDiKaT3d So with the plug and play harness from amazon you still had to splice your headlights in?
@@TheJimmysGarage ya at least the blinker plug i did it was way different than what i got with the headlight assembly i thought that was weird considering both our trucks are 02s lol
Where did you tap in the harness for drl animation with unlock? I have a 2003 7.3. I per alpharex tapped into 12 obs2 cigar lighter and they are always on?
Hey, I didn't tap anything but the running light wire to switched 12v.
How are you liking the luxx headlights now?
No better option!
Great video what bumper is that ?
It came on the truck I wish I could find it online but I don't see it anywhere
I have a 2004 F550 and have been looking for a grill and headlight combination. I saw your video last monday and started cutting my headlight support by Friday. It was an easy install, but I have two questions. When you hooked up the gray daytime running light wire, what fuse location did you use? My daytime running light fuse location is in the fuse block under the steering wheel. My issue is, that fuse is always hot, so as soon as I made the connection and installed the fuse the white rope light or C's "[ ]" come on and stay on even when I have my keys in my pocket and the vehicle is not running. My high beams also do not work at all, and the low beams have a constant flicker. 1000 times a min. I checked my batteries and charging system, that was all good. I pulled everything back apart, reinstalled all my factory lights, and everything worked perfectly. Put everything back to the new lights, no change... Flickering and no high beams - so frustrated!!! Yours looks killer... any help would be greatly appreciated!
For the running light wire tap you need to find a fuse that is 12v switched power only with ignition on. I believe I tapped mine into the radio fuse which I think is fuse 8 but mine is an 02. It sounds like a possible issue with your conversion harness that converts 04 to 05 wiring, you may have to swap a pin or something, the high beams use the same bulb but they open a cut off shield that gives more light on the road, so there isn't a second bulb for High beam rather when you flick your high beam a solenoid is activated to give more light on the road. The solenoid is mechanical so you should hear in in the headlight. As for flickering it could be a bad unit.
Would you be able to send me a link to the 99-04 to 05-08 harness you purchased?
@@1372513725 amzn.to/48JEDdw
Yep! I received the same pigtails you sent me the link to, and everything is working as desined. Thank you for your time and help!
Great news@@1372513725
Did you happen to have a video of the install or did you follow a guide? Specifically I'm curious if these would require additional cutting.
I've already got a set of Recon projectors in my 04 but I am not at all impressed with the light output even with 80w Halogens. Sadly I ordered the HID "upgrade" from RECON when I bought them. That helped but the beam pattern was trash.
I just followed other youtube videos on how to install 2005 (6.0) headlights in to a 99-04 (7.3) and followed that. There is nothing "special" about the install of the alpharex headlights
Dammit, why did I watch this video?
Edit just order some
Beautiful truck man. Where did u get ur cab lights and mirrors from
Cab lights are just smoked lense - amzn.to/3J54r8A and then I am running the brightest bulbts around from deautokey.com/
Mirrors - amzn.to/49rr3Lb and I changed the side markers out for - after some trial and error these last - amzn.to/3J3Zb5i
I’ve had mine installed for about half a year now on my 99 7.3 and decided not to mess with the additional parking light harness since ours don’t have a parking lamp fuse. Did you install your additional harness? If so where did you tap into?
Yea just have to use an add a fuse- tap it to a 12v key on source. I believe I tapped mine into the radio fuse which I think is fuse 8. Worth it forsure, white DRLs come on when truck is on.
I Can fit those on a 2003 excursion
Question for you, both projector (top and bottom) turn on at the same time? Or is it one for high and one for low?
Bottom projector is just for looks, it has a very dim led. The top projector is high and low beam.
@@TheJimmysGarage thanks for the reply!
I thought I did something wrong when I installed mine haha
I'm mostly curious about the life expectancy of the bulbs, they are sealed so not replaceable correct?
Correct much like many oem led. There is an LED driver inside that shines through the projector. You could easily service this driver though.
Their NOVA series use a OSRAM driver which is what many OEMS use.
Their Luxx driver has been around for years with no reports of going out so I wouldn't be to worries. Also they come with 2 years warranty and customer service is great and USA based.
So in terms of being "sealed" it's not sealed, just doest use a "bulb" that is easily changed.
do both the top and bottom projectors come on with low beam? or just one for low beam and one for high beam?
Peep the rest of the comments I answered that question.
I was also wondering the same thing I have a set and was expecting the bottom lifts to be brighter but they look like they aren’t working almost any insight or help would be great
Did you have any issues with hyper flash with the turn signal I just got some for my 06 6.0 and my turn signals had hyper flash
No, all resistors are built in, we did a set on my buddies 6.0 and they works the same, there’s no hyper flash.
You can also get a turn signal led flasher that goes in stock. I do that to all my trucks that I convert to leds.
Can you post a link to wiring harness you used to accept the 2005+ headlight? I have an 2003 7.3, id like to do exactly what you did
Hey I’ll get a link but it’s just a 9007 headlight plug to a h13.
I greatly appreciate it!
@@nate317 amzn.to/48JEDdw
I got these for my truck and love them but we’re you able to get the blinkers to work normal instead of going fast if so what did you do?
Yes my blinkers do not fast blink, I'm not sure if my truck has resistors installed or not because it came with led tail lights already. I assumed these headlights do not fast blink because they have a resistor built in but maybe my assumption was wrong?
@@TheJimmysGarage I have led taillights as well and never had the fast blinker as well but when I installed the lights that when it start. Just wondering if you had that problem also.
T@@rylieazevedo2371 There is probably a problem. I just checked with my buddy who has a set, his truck is bone stock and his do not fast blink.
@@TheJimmysGarage okay I’ll have to look into it. I’m sure it’s something the previous owner(s) have done. The hold wiring for the previous lights was a mess. Thank you for the help I appreciate it.
New LED blinker relay. I did for my fast blink. from AutoZone, $16 I think. I have the packaging with the part number if you need it. It was a pain to get to.
What kinda or Brand of mirror are you using?
Mirrors - amzn.to/49rr3Lb
Sweet thanks! How hard was it to install the head lights I have the same truck and I am looking at buying them.
@@7.3power I followed this guide, plug and play if you use the adapters in my description.

Sweet thank you!
Nicely done. Thank you. What tail light assembly, mirrors, and other upgrades did you do please? Thank you
Taillights are the dark red led taillights from ACANII. My mirrors are YITAMOTOR mirrors with Auxito switch back LEDs.
Waiting on my nova's to come in. Vision is poor so I want as bright as possible.
I can only imagine how amazing those will be, the Luxx are better than my 2014 Lexus GX oem LEDs
@@TheJimmysGarage that's impressive, can't wait to see mine.
Muy bonito esos focos.
Cómo se tendrá q hacer para traerlos ha Venezuela.
Si alguien sabe me habísas
What kind of front bumper do you have?🤔
I wish I knew this, It came on my truck.
I too wish you knew….
Do you still have the video of what the pros look like?
I will post a video of the Pros this week, they're on my friend's truck so we can do a comparison.
Hey I just posted the pro video
@Jimmy's Garage Thanks! Did you have any problems getting your headlights to fit? I got them installed on my 2002 but it was a major struggle.
@@md-80enjoyer95 Lot of Dremeling
The 4 projector version is nicer. At least if I would to spend 800.00
That version is $1200
Hey bro I got some questions for you about how you got these to work on a 7.3 do you have IG?
Two_jamez
Did you have to do much adjusting/aiming?
Very minimal aiming to get them both level with each other
