Can someone enlighten me on the differences? I see some of the lights are slightly different like the lower DRL bar shows on some and not for others.

To start - I struggled with this a ton and honestly still do a bit.

The big piece that I saw is you have the "OG style" AlphaRex which has the side reflector thats pretty much like the OEM light vs. Nova Series that has a more thinner, vertical amber reflector. I also believe it changes how the DRL works.

For me, I direction got -- AlphaRex NOVA LED Projector Headlights For Tacoma which from the OP, you can see how they look.

It’s nice to have variety but I wish they would be clear on the differences. It’s so confusing on which one I want to order.

OG Nova has the old look for the DRL where it runs inboard. The Nova DRL runs the outside edges. The OG Nova photo is the driver side whereas the Nova one is passenger.

Good looking headlights, but I guess I'm old now because to me 1500 beans for fancy headlights is just obscene. Enjoy, they look great on your ride.

As some have mentioned, differences to look for
Black vs Alpha Black - Tint of the internal materials
Nova vs Luxx - 3 bulbs vs 2 bulbs for lighting (Nova is better output and quality)
Then look at the DRL styles for the rest of the big difference + Side markers.

We have these in stock!

do you have more pics of your set up with the lights on? I've been considering getting the alpha rex tailights and doing the Rigid rears but didn't know if the Rigid park lights were too bright
Taken in the afternoon...the Rigid lights definitely has that "Pop/Wow factor". One thing I like about the AR taillights is that when you turn right/ left, the lights flash sequentially (similar to the headlights of the halo trims) as opposed to the standard turn signals.

This was taken last night around 8pm...the AR tails +Rigid lights are decently lit to deter folks from running into you.

Any possible Black Friday discounts for these lights direct from Alpharex?

It's possible! Would find out probably closer to 2 weeks.

Did you guys install the wire for the start up sequence? If I pull the fuse for that the lights would just revert back to acting as stock right?

I didn't add that additional wiring harness. The standard startup sequence is pretty slick as is.
