Are the AlphaRex NOVA-Series Black headlights compatible with the 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma?

Yes. The AlphaRex NOVA-Series LED projector headlights in black are designed exclusively for the Toyota Tacoma N300 (MK II), model years 2016 through 2023. They use direct OEM fitment, so no modifications to the mounting points or wiring are required. Tacoma models outside that year range are not a compatible application for this headlight.

How does the 3D ice-cube quad-projector work?

The AlphaRex NOVA-Series uses four individual 3D ice-cube projector lenses powered by high-output LEDs to handle both low and high beam output. Each projector focuses light into a controlled beam pattern, and the quad arrangement produces layered, even coverage across the road ahead. This is a step up from single-projector designs and a significant departure from traditional reflector housings.

What DRL colors are available, and can they be switched?

The NOVA-Series Black headlights include a selectable DRL built into the LED tube accent along the lower housing edge. Owners can choose between white and amber to suit their preference or vehicle styling. The option to run amber gives the front end a more aggressive or Euro-influenced look, while white keeps things cleaner and more modern.

Do the NOVA-Series headlights have a condensation problem?

Condensation is a known challenge with any sealed headlight housing, OEM or aftermarket, because temperature swings cause moisture-laden air inside to cool and deposit on the lens. The AlphaRex NOVA-Series addresses this with Nitto Denko TEMISH CAPSEAL air vents integrated into the housing. These Air Breather vents allow the housing to breathe, letting moisture escape rather than accumulate.

What materials go into the NOVA-Series housing and lens?

The outer housing is polypropylene (PP), selected for its durability and resistance to heat and moisture across varied driving environments. The lens is polycarbonate, with an anti-fog coating applied to reduce internal fogging and a UV-resistant coating to slow yellowing and oxidation, keeping the lens clear over the long term.

Does the purchase include both headlights, and is installation straightforward?

Yes. Each order includes one pair of AlphaRex NOVA-Series Black headlights, both driver and passenger side, plus all required mounting hardware and installation instructions. The headlights are plug-and-play, connecting to the factory harness with no wiring modifications needed.

Description

AlphaRex NOVA-Series LED Projector Black Headlights for N300 Toyota Tacoma

The Toyota Tacoma MK II is a proven platform that continues to attract enthusiasts looking for purposeful lighting upgrades. AlphaRex has developed dedicated headlights to complement the vehicle’s front-end character with bold, modern styling with advanced LED projection technology. The NOVA-Series headlights for the are purpose-built to enhance both aesthetics and on-road visibility without compromising fit, function, or regulatory compliance.

Light Features

The Toyota Tacoma MK II headlights use a 3D ice-cube quad-projector design powered by high-output LED technology for both low and high beam. A slim LED tube along the lower edge of the housing provides distinctive accent lighting. The LED tube offers selectable white or amber DRL to suit driver preference. An activation startup sequence illuminates the front lighting array at ignition for a signature visual impression.

Breathing Vents

Condensation is a common challenge in both OEM and aftermarket headlights, as moisture can accumulate inside housings due to temperature changes even with strong seals. To address this, Nitto Denko TEMISH® CAPSEAL™ air vents promote efficient moisture discharge in the Toyota Tacoma MK II headlights. These vents improve airflow within the housing so moisture can escape naturally, functioning like a breathing mechanism, earning them the “Air Breathers” name.

Housing

The headlights housing is constructed from high-quality polypropylene (PP) for lasting durability. Polypropylene’s strong resistance to heat and moisture helps maintain reliable performance across a wide range of driving conditions and climates.

Lens

The Toyota Tacoma MK II headlights use high-quality polycarbonate lenses engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions while delivering excellent lighting performance. An anti-fog coating reduces internal fogging and improves visibility in changing conditions. A protective UV-resistant coating is also applied to resist yellowing and oxidation, keeping the lenses clear and looking newer for longer.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
