recon clear/smoked cablights

anybody running these on a 2nd gen. truck??? if so can I just swap out the lenses from the new kit with my old amber lenses??? I think I read somewhere that you have to cut or splice into the factory wiring to hook up the recon lights???? wanting to order a set, just curious as to the best way to go about the install?????? thanks, Dusty

You have to cut and splice for the harness. I'm less than satisfied with mine. Not even 11 months old and the chrome is peeling from the base, I can't get them to stop leaking, and the clear lens's are turning yellow. I've waxed these things about half a dozen times and I've put silicone all around the base and even in the screw holes to get them to stop leaking. Nothing.

you do have to pull the headliner out to splice into heat headlight. Mine aren't leaking but they do look like they are turning yellow.
