Just got the AlphaRex LUXX Alpha Black headlights on my 2025 TRD Offroad and they completely changed the front end. The install went smoothly overall, removing the front end was WAY easier then I thought it was going to be. Then the factory headlights pop out and you can put in the new ones. The wiring was mostly plug and play except I did have to wire the DRL harness which was just wired by some fuse taps it only took a couple minutes. Fitment is tight and everything lines up like stock. The DRLs are seriously bright and the startup animation looks so good in person I end up staring at it every time I walk away. I went with amber which was just a simple swap on the unit. Night driving is a huge upgrade over factory way cleaner beam and better visibility without any glare. Honestly, they make the truck look like it should’ve come this way from the factory.

I know everyone always wants to see examples of what a lift kit looks like compared to stock, so here's a dedicated thread.

This is a Peak 2.25" Trail Kit. You reuse the front struts. There is both a preload spacer (goes under coil on stock spring perch) and a top hat spacer. The rear spring just gets the spacer alone. Rear shocks stay as is. Rides pretty good! Very similar to stock as far as I can tell.

Obviously the tire size is different, but they are only .5" or so tall than factory. Much wider, but just imagine the proportions on stock OR wheels and tires.
