Smoked Cab Light Covers

Looking to replace my amber cab lights with the smoked lenses. For those of you that have done it, is there a certain brand that fits the OEM lights better?

Seems pretty straight forward just remove one screw and replace the cover.

Appreciate your insights!

My stock light bases were cracked so I got the Pacer complete units. Haven't replaced them all yet as I got one done and it started to rain so I put it back together, that was last summer Need better LED's to put in them though.

I went recon too. Nice quality. I wasted money putting amber LED bulbs in there instead of the recon supplied amber halogen bulbs. Two wouldn't stay lit. I pulled them out and used the recon bulbs, no issues.

NO. I added LED lights (superbrightled.com) when I put the recons on. They are a waste of money, which is why I mentioned it. Recon comes with amber halogen bulbs that work just fine.

Buy some Atomic LEDs!! Not just lenses though, the whole assembly! you'll love them

Side note: I hate recon...awful service, bad quality products (just rebranded, cheap, Chinese junk), and WAAAAAY overpriced for what they are. 3 strikes and they are out for me.

I used Anzo brand lenses, no problems with lens fitment. The LEDs they sent with the kit were too reddish for my taste, I swapped them out for conventional amber halogen bulbs. The extra heat keeps the condensation down in the winter months anyway.

I'd like to just replace the covers and not the lights. Most kits I have found come with replacement LED lights.

Appreciate the replies!
