Got the assemblys in today. Long day at work, I'm concentrating on rehydration tonight (with Coors). I'll get these in tomorrow.
Sooooooo, I bought a PPV ...

I didn’t take mine off, but it was a royal pita.

I can have mine off in a few minutes. Makes it so much easier to f with the headlights.

For the record, I leave out the hidden bolt. In fact, that bolt has been out and never reinstalled since I've had this thing. I can take my headlights out in 5 minutes.

Threw in my H7 LED high and low beams. Super easy installation, and the projector body leaves plenty of room to tuck the plug and extra wiring in. Since the front of these headlight assemblies and protruding out further than the OEM lens, there is no issue with clearance on the cooking fans of the LED.

AlphaRex versus factory. You can see thru protrude quite a bit. It'll take a little getting used to, but if the light trajectory is improved enough......I'm ok with it.

Top pic: driver's side is a factory headlight assembly with a LED bulb, right side is the AlphaRex assembly with a LED bulb.
Bottom pic: the AlphaRex with both high and low beam on. The AlphaRex high beam is a super bright beam, can't wait to see how it does too.
Can't wait to drive at night with these. The projector is clearly doing its job, no pun intended. The factory lens with the halogen deflector scatters the LED light everywhere. While it worked much better than halogen bulb, it wasn't overly impressive. Until I took that setup out today, I still never once got flashed for my lights being too bright.

And final mount, all out back together. I won't get to see night driving until Monday, but after that and some adjustments if needed, I will pull dashcam video and throw it on YouTube. I'll also write up a separate thread in the electronics forum so all GMT900 folks can see my experience.
Overall I'm happy so far, the only thing I can't give feedback on is night driving. The build quality feels VERY solid. They were shipped in great packaging, the fit and finish is OEM, and my biggest worry was the protrusion of these lenses.....but I'm good with that now too.
The one time on my 41 years in earth to be happy about it getting dark at 5pm.....it's gonna be for that drive home tomorrow!
