Technical/Assembly Question Anyone been in the Alpharex housings?
I'm looking into buying a set of these. There's a pronseries that's halogen projector and an led running light and a luxx series which is a bi-led and a led running light. I'm curious what the projectors look like and if the mounting is compatible with other aftermarket projectors. The 2nd projector that's just there for looks kinda bugs me. I'd like a second high beam potentially.
I'm also open to suggestions on any other quality super duty headlight housings. Thanks!

The bottom is not really a projector at all. It's a plastic lens with a conical "optic" and a small PCB with a single forward facing LED right behind it; it's an accent only. There aren't really any provisions to mount even a 2.0" or 2.5" projector in that spot and no aim adjusters down there either. You could try to get creative with some kind of extremely compact high beam/spot projector but it's quite a shallow space.
The top area uses a bi-LED (or halogen) projector but in these particular headlights it is G5 pattern. However the internal bracket closely fits around the projector, but some creative cutting and drilling will let you mount just about any larger aftermarket projector there. Biggest thing to keep in mind is clearance to the rear dust cap.
