Recons are really nice! However if someone wanted to save a few bucks and still have the same look as recons, this is what I did. I bought some ebay led tails(black with clear lens) these are actually spider lights which are also infact made in the same factory as recons... http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=380942721529
Then I tinted them with some VHT Niteshades. Here's a really good vid on how to do it properly http://youtu.be/OSKA0ElKg1Q this is part 1 there's a 2nd part to it too. I did 3 light coats then 4-5 coats of clear.
Anyway here's the out come, they look just like recons, kind of hard to tell with cell phone camera.. Not bad for about $150 and a few hours in the shop.

Hope this is helpful to someone.
PS Don't mind the fact it's a gasser, in the process of trying to find a low mile 6.4 haha

My recon tails leaked gravel dust into them and even smaller rocks, I figured they were sealed up that great.. I only drove on half mile of gravel or so to a lake cabin at 10-15 mph. My dad's truck has Phillips brand smoked LEDs and his seem to be sealed better he is at his lake cabin 4-5 days a week. The only thing I can think of is maybe I got a bad set? Anyway I do like the recon because they have quite a few more LEDs then spyders or Phillips brand.

Mine are awesome.....except for the crack in the drivers side from trying to remove it...

Can I get a price on a new set of smoked tails, and a smoked 3rd brake light please?

Got your PM.
I gotta check which number I have for my rear lights...I thought they were smoked, but now that you said smoked red, I'm not sure now.
