I'll be watching this thread.... I've got em in the garage and I'm putting them on this weekend. I assume they look more drastic at night...

I have some but haven't installed them yet. It's my understanding that they look great but some people have had problems keeping bulbs in them...

I have thought about getting some too. A lot of people have had problem with recon products. My buddy bought some $300 smoked taillights that didn't work, and it took about 4 months to get everything fixed. I have the cab lights and like them a lot. The people that installed them said they like to use pacer brand lights better.

I installed them on my truck last week. I bought two sets of the big rig lights and have them running the entire length of the cab of my truck, right at 8' long and they get lots of compliments. Very bright at night when turn signals are flashing, also the running light feature is pretty bright as well. I also bought the "extreme" tailgate light bar as well. Only think I did was hardwire everything into my truck. I had alot of vendors telling me to cut off the supplied connections and to not even think about using the scotch lock connectors. Overall there are cheaper manufacturers out there, but I am very happy so far. Going to purchase the smoked projector headlights and tail lights as well.

cool, just looked at the smoked projector headlights, very nice.

Does anyone currently run these, how are they as far as light output??? Is the quality there? Would hat eto spend $500 and not have good headlights at night just so the truck looks cool in the day time...very interested..

I have had mine for almost a year now and havent had any problems with them yet. They shine on my nerf bars which I thought was pretty cool and look good with my recon cab lights and led taillights

How do you like your taillights? I am thinking about getting some. How is the quality of the light and how bright are they?
