Anyone ever deal with Recon headlights? Found these.

AllanB · Jun 27, 2012

I had a little fender bender in my 08 supercab and damaged a headlight. I was looking at getting a set of OEM HD headlights to replace them. Then I saw these. Just wondering if any of you Superduty owners have ever dealt with Recon headlights and if not, would you trust them to make a decent light. Also what do y'all think about them?

Thought I would bump this one time just to see if anyone has dealt with them. I still like the OEM HD headlights, but these are cheaper.

I don't think I would trust their headlights. My taillights both got moisture in them. Had to dry them both out and seal them around the edge

Their brake lights won't stay lit, imagine how their headlights will be LOL

I was looking at that same brand when I was thinking about getting some for my 06, they are costly and not any better quality than the eBay ones from what I have seen and heard.
In fact you can probably go on eBay and find identical lights for less money

Haha, yeah that might not end so well.
Alright guys thanks for the replies. That is what I wanted to know if anyone had used any of their products and how it came out. I think I will stick with the OEM HD lights

Wise choice. A lot of people are less than happy with the Recon stuff they've bought.

I'm not so happy with the recons on my dmax either. Have dried the tail lights out and sealed them up and re soldered wires myself so they are alright now, but headlights still get moisture and pattern stinks. My fender lights and cab an brake lights are still goin strong (cross fingers). Wouldnt do recon again though. Anyone try Anzo?

Maybe they are better, I may try some if i do some research and dont find too many bad things as a last attempt at aftermarket headlights. If not I will just get OEM and mod them how I want them.

Ya those do look like the same ones, Thanks!, May try some as last attempt for aftermarket headlights. Yea retrofitting some hi-low projection hids would be a great way to go, I have some for my fords headlights if I ever get around to doing them lol.
