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.

Regular Nova Series. Alplha black would look closer to factory look. It has black on the projector housing and slight tint on the drl bar.
