    AlphaRex is not a legitimate headlight. The pattern is wrong with a lot of high intensity foreground light and no distance light, which looks impressive but is useless as a headlight. They literally have the headlight pattern backward. AlphaRex doesn’t make them either, they are just cheap rebranded headlights from China’s Vland that you can sometimes buy off China Alibaba directly for a fraction of the price rather than paying big markups for a middleman.

    See content covered in posts #176, including my quotes. There is a direct side-by-side with the v1.0 Morimotos, the v2.0 Morimoto are significantly brighter than the first release. That doesn’t show these specific Hybrid Morimotos but demonstrates how one brand builds a legitimate headlight product and the other does not.
