    Hey now, if the kid wants to blind people, let him blind people.
    At least he doesn’t look at explosions!

    I don’t understand how this turned into a bashing thread, if you don’t like them don’t buy them.

    Cool, I don't pay too much attention when responding on the iphone. OTOH there's a swell ignore feature on this site. I'll exercise it this morning.

    I’m surprised there aren’t more YouTube videos on them, the only ones I’ve seen for the 05-11 was for a different version. I can try and send you some pictures or videos if you’d like

    They are nice lights, but I can't justify spending $1000 for what is basically a cosmetic upgrade.

    Any updates on the quality of your AlphaRex Nova's? My OEM Lights are full of condensation thus I'm looking to replace them with the AlphaRex Luxx (LED) series. I'm curious how they've held up in terms of the moisture and also is the clearcoat still holding up? Much appreciated!

    Post 'em if you want, but I still can't justify them. If I had $1000 to spend on my truck I'd have bigger priorities.

    To each their own, maybe we can both win the lottery and do whatever we want.

    Oh no you're good haha. I've seen videos and whatnot, but in person would be nice. I don't think anyone in my area have them. But, this would be a mod that would happen in years maybe haha. I got a lot more stuff I want to do
