Interesting... which BEDLIGHTS did you decide on?

I'm thinking after the poor design of the $100.00- RECON 3rd brake light (IE made specifically for a vehicle and then not work correctly), I'm done with the RECON's over priced stuff. I can buy lights that don't work correctly for A LOT LESS! Just my 2 cents.

Yup i totally agree. Next vehicle (which probably won't be for awhile) i'll learn to shop on ebay and find the same stuff for cheaper. I really don't understand their prices it's ridiculous, both my headlights have condensation in them when going to the carwash, that pisses me off quite a bit.

I've got a '12 Ram 1500 and am interested in the LED taillights. Is there any comparison of lumens output for the Recon, Spider, Sonar, etc? I am only interested in the Red lens or possibly the clear, but definitely not the smoked lenses...

Not that I've seen... I'd be interesting it learning that as well...

Well I finally got around to updating my front lights... considered the projector Retro Shop setup, too much $$'s IMO.
So I collected the following and installed them this morning. About $150 in the entire set-up...


All in all very pleased with the results, I'll have to test them tonight and see how much difference they make, the Switchback LEDs from iJDMtoy.com, required a load resistor, other than that it was straight forward.
