Question Recon Back-up Lights

Just noticed Recon's making back-up lights. Anyone got'em? What do you think of them? How bright? Thanks...Brian

I dunno bout those.. I paid $30 bucks for mine and $15 for the 100w H3's and they work perfectly.. Same lights Bearhunter put on his rig.. Small, cant even notice they are there..

No.. Recon is now manufacturing Projector Style 100w Backup Lights.. It's nothing more than a Driving Light housing with 100w bulb.. I got their product info the other day on my dealer account.. I'm contemplating if I want to even consider stocking them.. The list price is a little too high for some Backup Lights

My brother just bought a set for his Dodge Ram. He is actually very impressed with them. He said the light output is great, and they really illuminate the road. He has had piaa, KC, and cheap "fog" lights that he made reverse lights, and he said these are the best he has had. I will post pics if you want.

P.S I can't justify the $100 price tag.. Course thats the norm for Recon lol..

Storm, You get what you pay for in life. I have had cheap imitations and knock offs for many different items, and I always go with the reputable company. Just my opinion

Eh.. I'm a Recon Dealer.. pretty sure I'm aware of their "Quality".. But I still don't justify the $100 consumer price tag for them..

I bought mine here:http://www.gosracing.com/inc/sdetail/595for $75 with free shipping. I like them alot. My driveway is not illuminated so backing up at night, especially with tinted front windows is tricky. The lights also have a 3 position switch so I can manually turn them on, handy when messing with the trailer.
