    I installed these yesterday. I finished and the right blinker was hyper flashing then stopped. I had Amber DRL and no sequential turn. At 13:30 pay close attention. I didn't connect the correct plug together and just plugged directly into the 3157 halogen. Anyway, once you disconnect and make the right connection you will get the White LED DRL and the sequential turn. The Amber bulb works and does not hyperflash. Great video!

    I'm glad I found your video. That little yellow connector that alpharex tells you not to use, is one that you need to use. That's what allows for the start up sequence

    So if I’m already tying into the ignition with my grill raptor lights, where do I tie them in? I really like those lights. Looks great and I put a black grill on my silver sequoia so the black grill needs more black on the front to blend in.

    I just came to see what they looked like after a deer took out my stock one. I know its a couple years later n i didn't finish vid, but did you fix the cross threaded bolts holding the lights or did they hold up bouncing around?

    • @CoolGuyClub
      @CoolGuyClub  17 дней назад

      It holds well. Reason being is the plastic bit was the part that was cross threaded so a new bolt went in and stayed in. Easy peezy. Also really good lights after all these years.

    Just bought a set of these for my 2012 tundra limited. Are you using the added drl harness or just running the headlights connected to your stock bulb harnesses. Upon using the harness, I’m having issues with the drl colours. Driver amber passenger white. The instructions on the site are somewhat vague and with multiple harnesses on the headlight, I’d love some advice/insight.

    What wheel set up are you running? I'm trying to get a set but lost about the offset I should get. Gen 2 sequoia but I have the Platinum with factory wheel flares so I'd like the tire to sit flush with the flares

      Sitting flush with flares will be perfect for the titan 7 t ak1 17 inch wheels. They make forged wheels that are affordable so you’re in good hands

      yep they bolt up. you just need the modern trim pieces below to match the headlights. and may need to get them painted to match your vehicle. lots of people have even done this mod on their 07-13 tundras aswell as their the same front ends as the sequoia. can find all the info and tips on tundra forums or sequoia forums.

    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, they 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.
