    Thanks a lot! I just ordered the pro alpha black, don't have the coin for the nova but may upgrade the h7 bulb, these are just what I was looking for. I'm running morimoto fogs and I really like the white light of the led.

    I like the middle style the best. These are killer. I want a set for my 2.5 gen headlights! I went with some other eBay ones and they suck. Any idea on a release date for the 12-15 models?

    Man those are pretty, wish they had them for the 2012-15's though. Wonder when that'll happen. (Assuredly right after I forget these exist:facepalm:)

    So I’m just a little confused.. My Tacoma has DRL already. It’s a 3157 bulb and is also the turn signal. I do see where the side marker goes on the Alpha Rex lights, but is the 3157 DRL/Turn Signal bulb just done away with? Thanks!

    The turn signal connection is used. You have to take off the factory bulb socket from the standard connector and all will become clear.

    I see, that makes more sense. So the DRL tube on the AlphaRex is the only thing that actually has to be wired? The bottom three lines are what plugs into the oem connector, correct?

    If the electronics are similar to Alpharex's 3rd gen lights, it should be plug and play, because the LED strips function as both DRL and turn signals.

    I see. I guess I’m mainly wondering where each part plugs in and how it works. By how it works I mean, are resisters built in to prevent hyperflash?

    There's some circuitry in the headlight that controls the sequential turn signals and white/amber switchback function in the LED strip. Hyperflash is taken care of in the circuitry.
