    Never heard of em. Then again I've abandoned my search and decided to wait until another manufacturer gets off the rear and finishes the job.

    Yeah I’d like Morimoto, but don’t really want to wait

    I don't think Morimoto even has one in the works do they?

    I just installed them. I really like them. Was not aware of the hyper flash so be sure to order a set of resistors. Just ordered mine.

    They are not as bright at night as I would have loved, but way better than stock and i like the smoked look

    What resistors did you order?

    Stillen cold air intake. Trd dual exhaust.
    I installed them on my tundra. Didn’t have an issue with the hyper flash but when I hit the brake the brake lights didn’t activate. Any thoughts?

    Put mine in this weekend. This was in conjunction with a set of Morimoto headlight assemblies. Tails went in first, no hyperflash. However, once the fronts went in, they all hyperflashed, even though the Morimotos were supposed to be plug and play with no resistors needed. Did some reading, and it looks like the Morimotos don’t play well with non-resistored LED tails. Got some resistors on the way to hopefully resolve the issue.

    I do like the way they look, though.

    Did you try checking the polarity on your brake light connections? Don’t know if that’s a potential issue, but something to check.

    Got the resistors wired in today - all four turn signals now function as they should. While I had the tails out, I went ahead and dropped in some GTR Ultra reverse lights. (That’s my only knock on the Alpharex - they don’t include a reverse light, making you reuse the factory incandescent bulb.) The GTR’s are a big upgrade. Very happy overall.
