Hey. First time poster long time reader. Posted originally in general but I think it is better directed here. I have a 2013 F150 Lariat Ecoboost.

I am pretty new with aftermarket stuff, so I figured this would be the best place to ask. I recently decided to upgrade my stock halogen headlights and ordered the AlphaRex Pros. For the cost, I am extremely happy so far. For anyone who is unsure, they come with halogen high beam and low beam bulbs already in place--you just have to transfer your turn signal bulbs.

I installed the Pros and tested them, worked fine. Then went for a drive around our property to see how they worked when on for a little. Everything worked great with no issues. Went to work the next day and noticed my turn signal was clicking much faster than normal, but didn't think anything of it. At this point I still had the out-of-the-box halogens in the AlphaRex Pro's.

I wanted to upgrade to LED's, so I ordered:

AUXITO H7 LED Bulb 50W 10000LM 6500K Cool White with Cooling Fan

I swear I have spent 10+ hours trying to research if I needed a conversion kit, but couldn't find anything on point. Some posts I saw led me to believe I could just plug and play without any issues and that if there is flickering, a conversion kit will solve the problem. Anyways... the LED high beam and low beams are still working fine.

Sorry for the long backstory, but that leads me to why I am posting this thread. Today, I noticed my headlight's turn signal on either side are not working (my taillights are, but are rapidly flashing similar to the interior dash turn signal indicators--much faster than before I installed). After a little digging, it looks like it may be hyperflash especially with the installation of the LED high and low beams (the turn signal is still the stock-transferred bulb). Does anyone have any idea? How can I fix that? If you need more info let me know.

Also, should I go ahead and get a conversion kit for the LEDs i have installed (I don't want to break/ruin anything even if they are running fine now).

**If it matters, I didn't install the included DRL wires--and truthfully do not understand the instructions they list on the website. The DRL comes on, I think it is just so that it is brighter during the day when the autolights are off?**

Thanks!

 

I have LED headlight bulbs and honestly not sure how they would even effect blinker 2 totally different systems. With that said my 2013 daytime running lamps are off. , as for blinkers you might need an add on cause it doesn't draw enough power and in other words truck doesn't think it's there.

 

As noted in your previous (duplicate post in general)....

 

so I was messing with it on my lunch break. I found that they work perfectly fine when the headlights are on. I have them set to auto, so the low beams don’t come on until it is dark. Which is annoying and I’ll have to find a fix for it.

 

thank you I’m sorry.

 

when stuff is messed up like that take a step back put normal bulbs back in blinkers and make sure headlight bulbs are working as they should be. OR put headlight bulbs back to stock and see if blinkers work properly

 

The fast flash function indicates that you have a bulb out. I would be willing to be the front bulbs stopped working after your initial test drive and that is when your hyperflash started. It noticed a burnt bulb and hyperflashed to warn you.

Hyperflash indicates the circuit sees the wrong load on the turn signal bulbs. This happens if one of the bulbs burns out or if you put the wrong bulb style (LED for example) in the turn signal socket. LEDs in the low/high beam socket won't affect the turn signal circuit.

Check your front bulbs to see if they're burnt out. If not, check the wiring between the truck harness and the bulb. Your truck knows that the front bulbs aren't blinking and it's hyperflashing as a result.

 

At lunch I turned off the auto and manually turned on my low beams with the switch left of my steering wheel. The turn signal on both headlights worked then so the bulbs aren't out. It just appears that the headlight turn signals will not work unless the low beams/high beams are activated (either at night with auto-turnon or manually turned on during the day). The DRL which is supposed to flash when turning doesn't work unless the low beam/high beam is on too (but it does work in the initial start up sequence when the truck turns on).

Maybe I need to hook up the DRL harness they included . . .although they included two and I have no idea which one to use. The instructions/explanation arent that great. (If that would even effect this issue at all).

 

Are the DRL wires from Alpharex? These are the instructions I found:
https://alpharexusa.com/installation...50-headlights/

Based on that, the turn signal bulb is now within the Alpharex harness even though it uses the stock bulb/socket. You may want to reach out to them to see why you'd only have turn signals powered when the headlights are on.

 

Yeah, they gave me two DRL wires. I haven't set them up as I assumed it just impacted the brightness of the DRL on the headlights during the day. I see the disclaimer saying hooking the DRL harness up may be required to function properly. That could be it? Otherwise, like you said, I may just need to reach out to them.
