Install was pretty easy. It's just kinda scary drilling through your roof. Measure twice drill once.

I've had the clear Recon lenses for about four years. Other than yellowing just a bit, there have been no problems with them.

OEM-like fit and quality.

So.. my only question, did you do the 1/4 holes, or did you drill just the right size for the screws that came with it??

I screwed the holes for the size of the screw. I think the 1/4" holes would be for if you are installing factory Ford lights because they have studs and then a nut.

Congrats Adam. Looking forward to pictures. I've always wondered what the smoked lenses look like on a grey truck.

They look awesome Ryan. They are the same color as my truck pretty much. I still can't figure out my picture issue.

Hey Adam, I just tried to put your pics from the e-mail you sent me to my documents, they went there. Then I tried to upload them in my gallery and they didn't go, I went thru the resizing feature also and got just the red X in my gallery. I,m not comp. savy so that doesn't help to much either, i'll keep trying..
