alpharex headlight for 2019 f150




hello,
I just bought the alpharex head light for my 2019 f150 xl stx package.
tried to install the the blinker assembly socket and bulb to the alpharex housing.
but the stock socket has 3 interfaces(hexes) and new headlight housing has 4 interfaces(hexes) so it does not fit.
I tried to do research to sovle the problem but looks like i am the only one who have this problem.

if anyone who did install this unit on 2019 f150 xl stx, Can you guys tell me how to put this in to the new unit?

thank you

 

The 2019 trucks switched to a different bulb and socket for the turn signals from the 2018's. You will probably have to buy the older style and splice them in to get the new lights to work.

 

Thank you very much.
Do you know where can I get them?

 

I have no idea where to get the new sockets. I've just seen multiple people on here with 2019 trucks have problems with the front turn signals.

 

I brought that up in the main thread about these headlights because I had the same issue on my 19 XLT. I used a box cutter and trimmed a bit of plastic from the housing socket until I could force it in. Kind of a pain, but it's not going anywhere.

 

I see.
Thank you very much

 

I thought about doing that too.
You don't have any issue with water going in or the socket comes out or anything?

 

Nope, it fits in tight. It took a lot of force to get in, so it's definitely not coming loose. I've had the headlights for 4 or 5 months now and no water in them.

 

I see.
Thank you very much for your information
