Default ? on Recon White Lightening Tailgate Bar

Alright I was looking for opinions on this and I talked to a friend and he said not to get one because from what he has seen is that some of the LED'S that are in it have burnt out and throw the look off of the truck..

I do like the the looks of them. I was Just wondering if anybody has had one from them and had this problem before I had spent the money and bought one.

Thanks in advance

Don't have one, don't want one, but I've done a lot of work for a friend with an LED sign shop and if wired right LEDs have an amazing life compared to conventional bulbs.

But I guess with any type of lighting system, if you got some bulbs (LEDs) out, it's definitely gonna look like sh*t...

for the most part led's will last forever, and more than likely the only reason some of the bulbs weren't lit up is because of a short in the wiring. ive worked alot with led's and ive never seen one burn out. and i would also think if you bought a new light bar, it would come with a warranty as well

biggest probleme is the mounting location. You mount the LEDS between a very small opening and when most people open there tailgate they dont look at whats in that little opening and it ends up crushing the LEDS.

I plan on getting one soon but i want to get LED tail lights at the same time

I think I am going to agree w/ your friend on this one. Yes they do look awesome but I have seen too many of them cruising around with a light or few out and it def throws the look off becasue all you do is look at the bulbs that are out...
