Going black???
No pun intended. I'm in the process of going black with every piece of my truck that is chrome. I have done the step bars, wheels, tow hooks, badges, antenna, etc. Now, i'm looking for smoked cab lights, mirror/blinker covers, and the 05+harley light look. Keeping cost in mind...a little...who makes the best of these products and where to buy? Show me some trick stuff!

Recon's smoked cab lights aren't bad. Their mirror signal replacements have been known for poor fit. I don't know of anyone else that makes them... Maybe Putco? There's a good brand of Harley style lights floating around on eBay.
edit: Just checked on Putco's site and they also make the mirror signal replacements.

Recon is the way
Recon makes very great quality products. I changed out my stock cab and third break light to match the all black theme as well and it looks great. Ill post some picks up in the morning for you to see. Jaret

I haven't heard any issues on the 08+ mirror light replacements... just the 03-07. I personally have had customer service issues with them. My White Lightning bar is still doing alright though surprisingly.

I have read that the cab lights come with orange LED bulbs and it looks a lot better if you buy clear LED's that light up orange. Did that come out right? Instead of being orange all the time, get clear ones so during the day the bulbs dont stand out. Maybe that is only necessary on clear and not the smoke??? Just thought I would throw it out though.
