i think i new set of smoked Recon lenses is like 40-50 bucks but dont hold me to it. doubt your gonna find anybody that wants to get rid of theres. check craigslist or ebay and see if you can find a cheap set.

the wiring harness might be worth a few bucks but I wouldnt waste my time on used lights. New ones are cheap, and one unseen crack from the wreck and you ruin your headliner? no thanks.

I never thought about it before but Robs right if the lense is cracked then a rain storm could cause water to leak in. I wonder if there is something I could do to prevent that? I was thinking about adding recon light myself.

i guess i'm not seeing this, so because the pickup was in a front-end collision (not rolled) the lenses on top of the cab may be cracked?

i thought those cab lights were like $150 new, but i guess if they're only $40 with a harness, that only makes sense to by new. where do you find that price? Thanks!!

EDIT: wow, ok, i see 4wheelonline has them on sale for $38 free shipping. bummer they screwed me on my shocks, but at least i can take their sale pricing to competitors. Thanks people!

New factory lights with harness are $95 on eBay. I wouldn't pay more than 1/2 of that for used

since you dont have the harness i'd be lookin on ebay for the whole shebang. then sell the stock light covers and get some smoked ones. I made 25 bucks off my stock orange cab lights.

as for waterproofing, when you do the install just dont be conservative with rtv. When i put my Lund Sunvisor on my truck I think I used almost a whole tube on the 10 bolts. thats about the best you can do. or not drill holes in you cab.
