    Ya, the A-Rex are way too busy and that logo definitely has to go. I have Morimotos as well and prefer them.

    no issues with wiring bro. I simply just plugged everything right in and it works perfect.
    I didn’t install the extra harness that was provided

    i'm not a fan of the busy 6 or 8 eye look of the morimotos and alpharex. someone retrofit the tacomabeast with better projectors because those look the best imo.

    the Tacoma beast ones build bad condensation :/ But they are good looking lights. I wonder if anyone has retrofitted them

    I prefer these over the morimotos. The XBs changes the shape of the headlight which I find unappealing. The arex actually keeps the factory shape along with the black fill plate. The logo is a bit distracting but I’m sure there’s a way to disconnect it.

    I’d go with the alpha rex over the morimotos. Now... to cough up the coin in headlights.. I’ll wait until blackfriday to see if there are any cool deals.

    Dislike the logo very much... would consider buying if they removed it.

    Can see why TCMBST is okay with it though.

    We'll offer these soon as well, but for my tastes, Morimoto still > these

    I agree, the Morimotos wrap around the headlight making the shape a little off. I do like the Rex for their slimmer DRL design, putoff by the logo. Would prefer to go without
