Default Alphrarex vs Morimoto Headlights

Hi all - first time post but have been visiting forum frequently in the past. Appreciate all the conversation and knowledge shared on here as it has helped me gain knowledge (not a vehicle expert at all).

I have a 2020 F150 Lariat and have always wanted LED projector headlights with DRLs. After searching the forums for prior discussion, it seems at first Morimotos had some performance concerns with fluttering/flashing as discussed here: https://www.f150forum.com/f83/morimo...-issue-486124/

So I am currently looking at AlphaRex Nova's. I was interested in any 'longer term' reviews from folks that actually have them installed? How have they been and any warranty issues?

Also - does anyone know if there is typically any good black friday/cyber monday deals on headlights as that season is rapidly approaching?

Appreciate any feed back.

Little over 2 years on my Alpha Rex lights. No issues to report.

Was your Raptor grill already glossy black when you purchased it or did you do that yourself? Looks great.

Thanks!! It came in needing paint. I first did a matte black. But did not llike it all matte. So I had it painted shadow black but kept the mesh part matte for some contrast. Also kept the matte part so it matches the fender emblems and rear Ford emblem. Also shadow black and matte black.

These are the Morimoto XB Hybrids. I've had them for about 2 1/2 months. Yuuuge improvement over stock halogens.

Have had my Alpha Rex NOVAs for a year now, haven't had any issues with them. You should check with the vendors here on the forum, they will get you the best price for the headlights, whether than be Alpha Rex or Morimotos. Light output of both brands are phenomenal. I have seen the flickering issues with the Morimotos and that is upsetting for spending so much for the lights. I do believe that they will warranty them but its a timely process and you have to be without the light unless you buy a new set and return the defective ones.

Do the turn signals on the alpharex reuse the factory turn signal bulb or do they come with LEDs installed?
