I was looking at those but ended up going with what I posted earlier.
Those Recon lights are not the same. It is completely different.

I like these... I went to the Recon site and there was no mention of them. Where can I find them?

CmprSpecial - No, they didn't give much information outside of the timeframe. I don't think it would be to expensive. Besides, my truck is all black and with the smoke lenses, I think it will look awesome!! Got chrome handles in the garage, waiting to put them on. Put the chrome handle on the tailgate, looks good on black!!

Thumbs up

I called as well and they told me June as well. They were very nice and gave me a approxamite price of 129.99 for the Big Rig Light bar for the side and about 99.00 for the mirror lenses. The lenses have amber L.ed.s like OE.

How did you install those lights on the mirror? Where did you get them and what is the part number if you know.

I am listening too...

I have lots of LED and non-led lights that flash for use at the race track as a response vehicle. I have been wanting to add to the running light collection and like the markers on the mirrors, very cool addition.

Thanks for the compliments.

These are the mirror lights that I installed:
http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/S...-10101/s-10101
*[edit - click the link above, then in the search bar put in p/n: SN495273A and it will take you to the lights.] *
About $34 plus shipping for the pair of LED lights. I couldn't justify buying $400+ mirrors just to get lights on mine when my stock mirrors were in fine shape.

They mount to the mirror by their backing which is 3M tape. They hold on extremely well. When I first saw them the stick-on style threw me off a bit, but once I stuck them on I was very impressed because they stick very, very well. I have the wire routed through the mirror housing and down through the door into the cab. I drilled a tiny (1/8" or so) hole in the mirror, under where the LED mounts, to get the wire inside the mirror. They're hooked up to a trailer light little converter box (another $12 from JC Whitney) so they serve as both parking/marker lights as well as turn signals (as do the dually fender lights ).

What I like best about them is that they're very visible... about twice as tall as the markers on the newer mirrors, and can be seen from the front/side as well as from directly behind the truck (lights on the newer mirrors can't be seen from behind ):

If you guys need any other info or decide to install them and need any tips or anything, feel free to post or PM me. I got some great help from a couple friends from another site, and am happy to pass it on.

Ryan

Thanks ryaneverk2, I ordered the lights from jcwhitney this morning. I cant wait to get them installed. Sounds easy enough to do. I upgraded the mirrors to telescoping ones already and at the time didnt know you could get them with the lights and make them work. I was not going to pay more money for new mirrors just for the lights. I knew someone had a fix for this and was just waiting. If I have any problems I will be sure to ask you.

Sounds good, jaminjer. Yeah for a while I was looking for lights I could use on the mirrors without forking out the dough for the newer style mirrors. Finally saw another guy's truck with these on them... had to have them after that.
