Under Tailgate lighting

MINK · Apr 10, 2012

I had the Recon "Line of fire" that lasted a entire 6 months, are there any other options that others are having luck with? I had a local guy put a led strip on my old truck that he used for lighting motorcycles up but they didnt hold up that well either. I need the led light bar as my taillights are a little on the way to dark side LOL.. Any ideas or go with another Recon? Thanks

I got one for way less money than the Recon from Paul at CP. Has running, brake, turn signal and reverse. Been on my truck for a couple years now with no issues. And my truck is lifted, so im sure it gets rattled around back there lol

Not a great photo since you cant see the actual light bar, but you get the idea off the reflection.

I like the recon ones. My recon lights are seven or.eight months old and we're rockin and rollin still. I know people have trouble but.mine have bee great. That.said, I like the one with reverse,clearance, brake, and turn signal.capabilities. Line of.fire I think recon calls it.

Ive got the little Recon one. Its held up pretty well for the last 2 years.

I was thinking about getting the stock light they put on duallys and tinting it a little. You may look into that, if you wanna stay low cost.

I really like this idea and look but I need the signal and brake functions to stay legal.

One tail needed, two brake lights (my third brakelight is visible pluss the light bar) and then both turn signals.

Previous owner installed a recon fire & ice on my truck. Now its just an ice due to half of the other leds burning out. I got tired of looking at the burnt out ones so I disconnected everything but reverse.
