Anyone using the lights for the side mirror? I have a broken one on the DS and was thinking of replacing it with the smoked ones. How is the fit? Are there gaps?
Also, will the Dodge clearance lights work with the Ford harness? I thought they were nicer than the big Ford lights.
fit isn't perfect, I had to use a small bead of silicone to keep mine from whistling at highway speeds. With that said, I still love them and will take them any day over stock, here is a picture of mine:
I totally agree......But on the other hand they look badazz!!!!!!!!!!!! Also had a prob with the xtreme scanning amber light bar in which the first two were broken...But Ryan at Recon was excellent in dealing with this issue and rushed my replacement twice and the third was a charm........I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
No one tried the Recon dodge clearance lights? I would like to put them on my '06 that doesn't have any. Yea, I would like to put the '08 mirrors on the '99. Need to get it running good before I spend money on something like that tho. If I don't get it running soon I'm going to unload it.
the dodge clearance lights will fit... on a new install.... they are a 1 piece unit with LED's.. the ford ones have replacement lenses... unless you get the kit that is meant for a new install...
if your looking for prices were running a sale on all Recon stuff right now
You shouldn't, it should just be a simple 12v+ and a ground. I believe the harness is there on all the trucks to the passenger side kick panel.
I did the recon replacement cab lights on my truck that already had them, now I have smoked lenses with LED lights and I just spliced the recon harness into the 2 wires for the factory harness. I did this up at the windshield though and not down in the kick, but it should be essentially the same.
only thing that concerns me is the Dodge ones are longer... the whole will not match up to the factory ford ones.... they are also a lil tiny bit more narrow... if your ok with drilling new wholes to mount the dodge ones then you can prob make it work...
My '06 doesn't have them so I'll have to drill holes. I thought they looked nicer than the Fords. They don't seem to be as tall. What is your opinion? On my '99 have the Recon clear lenses.
I also had to trim the Recon mirror lights a little, The first one was a bitc, but after I figured it out the second one went good.
DONT BUY THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FROM THEM, 10 of 10 have the cargo lights go out in a year, no warranty this long.
Out of ten here where I live, the cargo lights started flashing in groups of three, then eventually went out in less then a year, maby some do work longer?
I bought three of these at one time for friends, two smoked and one clear, then others also bought them a little while later.
My mirror lights, big rig lights, cab lights and line of fire lights, have worked fine for almost 3 years.
I bought the mirror lights and was a horrible fit so I sent them back. I got them through a local acc. shop. I thought about getting some again to see if they fit better. There's no one else that makes the mirror lenses is there?
Fed Ex showed up today with the Recon lights while I was swapping out injectors in the '99. Think the injectors were the problem. Only swapped out the PS and it runs 10x better. Guess I'll do the other side now.
I have emailed recon before concerning cracks in the cab lights on my 06 f350, havent heard back....... take it for what its worth
