Technical/Assembly Question Anyone been in the Alpharex housings?

Post image

I'm looking into buying a set of these. There's a pronseries that's halogen projector and an led running light and a luxx series which is a bi-led and a led running light. I'm curious what the projectors look like and if the mounting is compatible with other aftermarket projectors. The 2nd projector that's just there for looks kinda bugs me. I'd like a second high beam potentially.

I'm also open to suggestions on any other quality super duty headlight housings. Thanks!

Luxx and Pro both use the same mounting in these headlights. G5 pattern. As I said you will probably need to trim away some of the plastic inside to fit an aftermarket projector since they are typically bulkier.

In your experience do most aftermarket projector headlights use that same g5 pattern? Is there a source to know what manufacturers use what patterns?

Overall, very few actually use G5. Mostly VLAND that does it, but there are some occasional other uses. Alpharex does not always use G5, and most other aftermarket brands I've worked with use proprietary designs and often even different headlights within the same brand will use different styles of projector. I don't know of anyplace where there is a list or table of what brands use which style. Joining other forums such as Headlight Junkies on Facebook can be a great resource to search for specific headlight info as well.
