Better pictures are coming. This one was shot on my cell phone on a fiery SoCal night last week...

 

Looks good. I just did the smoked 3rd brake, mirror and tail lights last week as well.

 

Very, very nice. Are those leds?

 

I just installed the recon smoked lights. I'll post pics when I get home.

 

Thanks! I really like them, and yes they are smoked lens w/super-bright orange LED's. Very bright even daylight.

 

Are they the LEDs that came with the kit or did you go with some aftermarket LEDs?

 

The Ford Recon kit does not come with a base; you must have factory installed cab lights for that kit. I ordered the low profile lights.

 

I have the cab lights. I also have smoked lenses from Recon. I didn't know they came out with a low profile kit for Ford trucks. Or are those for a Dodge?


Do they come with the 194 Wedge Style L.E.D Bulb that they sell? I'd like to make mine a little bit brighter as the amber bulbs just seem weak to me.

 

They are indeed the dodge lights. I was advised by Storm to get these because of the great looks, fit and function of the lights. IDK the bulb type because they are delivered as a complete working kit. I never removed a lens cover to see. The lead that runs out of the base is the 194 wedge (mini). I had to customize the ford harness that I bought to make things plug-and-play nice. The 194 style receptacles were $2.00/ea + the $37.00 harness + connectors made for a $50.00 rig.

 

Maybe I read the site wrong but I didnt think that those of us with the cab lights from the factory could get the LED lights from Recon. I guess that they dont fit or something. I would love to have the LED cab lights on my truck. But the site was a little confusing and I forgot all about it til I saw your truck with them...Looks sweet OZ

Thanks, Sarge. Keep in mind that the lights I installed are NOT Ford lights, they are the low-profile Dodge lights. I had no factory lights or wiring, so this was a 100% custom job. I had to measure the layout, drill the holes in the roof, pray A LOT and modify a Ford harness to accept the plugs on the Recon lights. It was a 5 hour slow and methodical job.

 

Nice, real trucks have cab lights.



That should be on a bumper sticker !

 

Yeah I just rechecked an if you already have cab lights we cant install the LED's. We can get the diferent color covers, clear or smoke. Anyway yours looks great cant wait to see better pics. Atleast something good came off of the Dodge assembly line.

I was just thinking about installing some of those. Looks really nice.
