They told me that plaid HL are very slightly different in size, that's why there is a gap, but I'm not entirely sure.Seems like they may have removed the bumper retention bracket that comes on the bottom of the light. It looks like the bumper is sagging.
are you sure those are not just plaid HL ?posted that in another thread (I'm not a seller)
I came across BimmerPlug, who apparently sell customized lens type LED headlights, compatible with the older and newer version (Pre-facelift, facelift and "post" facelift)

You can see the high and low beam projectors separated. Now they're not Matrix but the advantage is the sexy cutoff line from the projectors
where did you see cutoffs and light rating on the the AlphaRex NOVA Series lights?are you sure those are not just plaid HL ?
Tsportline sells those
AlphaRex NOVA-Series 5x LED Projector Headlights
I'm not sure they look as good, but from what i see, cutoff line and light is much better.
I thought they were, but apparently it's custom-builtare you sure those are not just plaid HL ?

I wish they had left the original light in on one side to show the difference. I couldn't tell if the beginning of the video was the new light beam or the original, in the last part of the video they showed the new beam cutoff, but never superimposed the original beam pattern to show the improvement... I would get these for my S, but concerned about lumen reduction from stock...I thought they were, but apparently it's custom-built
@Xenoilphobe, Regarding the NOVA's, I believe the cutoff will have to be similar to what can be observed for the Model 3 version:

Compared at 7:50.. still hard to see the Lux (illuminating a surface- the wall in this case) or Lumens (omni directional illumination measurement) (I wasn't sure) difference (it's the camera having issues processing the light and they shot severely off angle, which made the OEM lights seem brighter than they are) They never locked the LUX, but it looked like 469-490 (it was bouncing all over the place) LUX @ and unknown distance from the emitter of the headlamp.You have a point.
Not directly side-by-side, but a more accurate comparison. The old headlights on this particular Model 3 are similar to ours in term of light spread
Starts at 11:11 where the old non-projectors are compared with the Alpharex ones
Are you serious, lumens on stock pretty dim, I'm not sure if you can get anything dimmer than thatI wish they had left the original light in on one side to show the difference.

They are freaking horrible... the light below from a Model T probably works better. I have been communicating directly with manufacturer to get a better understanding of the specs. Only solid I got so far is that they are 5500 Kelvin (color - which is daylight - perfect!!), They are using 5 (in the case of the Model S) LED emitters made by Osram called Oslen Black Flat but it's not clear which boards they used for this application. I already pulled all the spec sheets and read them.. these are super efficient LED's. In the most powerful config they are 2380 lm pulling 16 watts!!! in the worst config, they are 395 lm pulling 3.2 watts from each emitter. So with 5 emitters they could be 1975 lm (if all five are on) or they could be as high as 11,900 lm (if all 5 emitters are activated) if they chose the highest output (very unlikely). Also these can be software controlled to operate in any format they want.... I suspect they went with the 395 lm which would be the cheapest, if all 5 emitters running they only use 16 watts...well below the design threshold for the legacy 2016 Model S headlight load (I'm guessing here). or they could have used a mix for the high and low beam function.Are you serious, lumens on stock pretty dim, I'm not sure if you can get anything dimmer than that
Great news, keep us posted, unfortunately I'm in the UK, no I'm not sure if they can do RHD pattern.Got more information digging around on AlphaRex... I think I'm going to pull the trigger..
Cons:
2 year warranty, if they burn out, you throw away the whole unit - $1800, (I could probably open them up and solder a new LED in)
Conflicts with Tesla Software updates.... unknown, on the Model 3 AlphaRex they were selling an adapter to resolve this issue (only for non matrix headlight cars, why you would pull Matrix and add these ?

Video at bottom of blog was impressive.

I'm pretty sure a talented tech could "pop the ice cube tray" and move these modules around to the RHD where you need the beam cutoff.Great news, keep us posted, unfortunately I'm in the UK, no I'm not sure if they can do RHD pattern.
I'm considering them also and am in the UK. I found a RHD variant here: Model S Alpharex NOVA-Series Projector HeadlightGreat news, keep us posted, unfortunately I'm in the UK, no I'm not sure if they can do RHD pattern.
