NOVA-Series

• AlphaRex redefines automotive lighting with its NOVA-Series LED headlights, featuring the innovative Ice Cube 3D projectors. Designed with precision, these projectors utilize Osram Oslon Black Chip LEDs for low beam outputs and AlphaRex LUXX LEDs for dual beam outputs, ensuring superior performance and reliability. Incorporating AlphaRex’s patented design, these headlights set a new industry benchmark while meeting DOT and SAE requirements for safety and compliance.

Headlights Technology

• AlphaRex’s NOVA-Series LED headlights for the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y showcase cutting-edge technology with the revolutionary Ice Cube 3D projectors. Engineered with Osram Oslon Black Chip LEDs for low beam output and AlphaRex LUXX LEDs for dual beam functions, these headlights exemplify AlphaRex’s commitment to performance and reliability. Designed to meet American LHD regulations, the NOVA-Series headlights provide a precise projection cut-off line for legal compliance. Meeting DOT and SAE standards, these headlights elevate automotive lighting with superior functionality and stunning design.
• As the flagship series in AlphaRex’s product lineup, the NOVA-Series headlights incorporate all essential lighting features, including activation light, sequential turn signal, and selectable white or amber DRL (available for most newly developed NOVA headlights and MK II for earlier models). Tesla Model 3 and Model Y owners can enhance their vehicles with these NOVA-Series headlights, offering premium performance, refined aesthetics, and a distinctive presence on the road.

Light Features

• Activation Light: The activation light provides a dynamic startup sequence, engaging when the vehicle is unlocked or when the parking lights are activated, depending on the specific product variant.
• Sequential Signal: The sequential signal feature delivers a smooth, flowing turn signal pattern that transitions seamlessly from one end to the other, enhancing road safety with clear directional indication.
• Selectable White or Amber DRL: The selectable white or amber DRL (daytime running light) provides customizable illumination, allowing users to choose between white or amber LED for both day and night driving. The white DRL complements any vehicle color, while the amber option offers a rugged, off-road look or a distinctive style that blends seamlessly with other lighting elements. This versatile feature enhances both aesthetics and visibility, ensuring the vehicle remains easily noticeable to others on the road.

Components

• Housing: Constructed from high-quality polypropylene (PP), AlphaRex’s headlight housings ensure durability and longevity. With exceptional resistance to heat and moisture, polypropylene enhances the performance and lifespan of the Tesla Model 3 / Y NOVA-Series headlights, maintaining optimal functionality under various conditions. These headlights feature a black-themed housing with a sleek matte black finish and chrome accents, offering a refined yet aggressive look that complements the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y’s design.
• Lens: Crafted from premium polycarbonate plastic, AlphaRex’s Tesla Model 3 / Y NOVA-Series headlights are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions while delivering outstanding lighting performance. To ensure consistent clarity and efficiency, an anti-fog agent is applied to the headlight lens, reducing the risk of fogging and improving visibility. Additionally, a specialized coating protects against yellowing and oxidation, preserving the headlights’ pristine appearance over time. These high-performance headlights provide durability and reliability, ensuring optimal illumination in all conditions.
• Breathing Vents: Moisture buildup in headlights remains a challenge for both OEM and aftermarket products due to temperature fluctuations. To mitigate this, AlphaRex integrates Nitto Denko TEMISH CAPSEAL air vents in its Tesla Model 3 / Y NOVA-Series headlights. These vents facilitate efficient moisture discharge, enhancing airflow within the housing and preventing condensation. Acting as “Air Breathers,” this innovative design ensures long-term performance and clarity.

Utilizing only the highest-quality materials, AlphaRex ensures impeccable fitment precision, which is rigorously maintained through post-production monitoring. The Tesla Model 3 / Y NOVA-Series headlights not only meet but exceed SAE and DOT FMVSS108 regulations, reaffirming AlphaRex’s commitment to stringent safety standards. Additionally, manufacturing processes adhere to ISO 9000, ISO 9001, ISO 9002, and the automotive-specific ISO 17949 standard, guaranteeing meticulous oversight at every production stage.
