Alpharex Nova vs Lux vs. Pro: What is the Difference?

Genuinely DOT-approved and SAE-compliant aftermarket headlamp housings, whether LED or not, are hard to come by. Many manufacturers pretend that their headlights are safe for use on the road by omitting the necessary testing and production procedures. With Alpharex, this is not the case.

For a while now, Alpharex has been producing high-quality LED headlight housings. They provide a wide range of housings that fit many trucks and SUVs. Additionally, they offer them in three distinct trim levels and even a variety of colors. However, how do the three distinct Alpharex headlight trim levels differ from one another?

ALPHAREX TRIM LEVELS

Alpharex offers customers a range of headlight alternatives to suit their budget, much like Morimoto offers various versions of its XB front lights.

The best thing is that you will always get the same excellent build quality, simple installation, and crisp beam patterns with whatever Alpharex headlamp you purchase. Selecting one of the three headlight varieties essentially boils down to personal taste and financial constraints.

ALPHAREX NOVA – TOP OF THE LINE

Alpharex's most costly headlamp, the Nova Series, features an animated start-up sequence and an LED daytime running light (DRL). A sequential turn signal, low beam, high beam, and an LED parking light are all included. This headlight requires almost no maintenance because LEDs power the entire housing.

ALPHAREX LUX – MID-LEVEL HOUSING

Along with an LED side marker, low beam, and high beam bulb, the mid-level headlamp features the same fantastic LED DRL with the startup sequence. The individual LED signal is being replaced with an incandescent one; however, the turn signal is still present in the DRL. The turn signal bulb that comes with your stock will be used instead.

ALPHAREX PRO – BASE-LEVEL HOUSING

With the Pro Series housing, you retain the white LED DRL once again. It also includes an LED side marker light. However, you'll use your factory headlights for the turn signal, high beam, and low beam.

If you are purchasing high-quality LED bulbs, the Lux or Nova series headlights are better options. However, you could purchase a Pro Series headlight and LED bulbs separately. Many LED lights will also be hard to fit inside the Alpharex shell.

LIGHT OUTPUT

The Nova Series housing must have the best beam pattern and maximum light output because it is the priciest headlamp that Alpharex sells. The beam proved to be just that in our test: excellent hot spots, incredibly sophisticated, and an efficient high beam.

This also applies to the Lux Series headlight. The beam pattern is still of high quality with crisp cutoff lines, even though it is not nearly as bright as the Nova Series headlamp.

Your factory headlights will function similarly to the Pro Series headlights. This is because they use stock halogen bulbs rather than LED bulbs. Even so, you are still receiving a very decent beam pattern and useful light—just not as bright as with the Nova and Lux Series.

WHICH SHOULD YOU BUY?

The Pro Series is your best option if you are merely seeking an aesthetic change, though this will depend on your budget. You pay for the Alpharex housing's DRL design and overall contemporary look while keeping the brightness.

If you desire the best possible balance of performance and flair, the top-tier Nova Series is for you. It has the appearance, the start-up routine, and the dependable entirely LED assembly. If not, you should choose the Lux Series, which is in the middle range.
